Questions & Answers

What size nails would you recommend fastening to the 2x4
ByJun 14, 2022

Answer This Question

.Use hot dipped galvanized, stainless steel, or exterior coated nails, fasteners, screws, or bolts when building all components for your deck. Drill pilot holes to prevent splitting the wood, this is especially important when nailing or fastening near the edge of any components. The length of the screw use to install these balusters will depend on the thickness of the railing that you are attaching the baluster to. Please be sure the screw is long enough to secure the baluster to the railing.

      These are $0.97 each individually, and a pack of 16 is over $20. Why would anyone buy the 16 pack instead of buying them individually?

      I bought 80 of them and it was alot cheaper and less time consuming than trying to cut them myself from stock lengths. 80 of them plus tax was $97.00 before my Veterans discount.

        It is cheaper and u get a better deal.

          I took two packs of 16 and give them a single tag off of one and rang up 16

          Hi MrCliff, it looks like this 2 in. x 2 in. x 42 in. Pressure-Treated Southern Yellow Pine Beveled 2-End Baluster is a store exclusive item and only able to be bought in a Home Depot store. This product cannot be shipped directly to your home, whereas the available multi-packs (not the same manufacturer) can be shipped direct to the home. Please also be advised, not all store-exclusive products are available in every region, as well. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future. Thank you for shopping Home Depot!

          Just plain stupidity, that's all. I had to buy the 42" and cut them down to 36" because they don't carry the standard size. Have you looked in the isles, those who work here, does that not say it all?

            Balusters were straight, and mostly blemish free. We’ve installed hundreds of these things at roughly about ten to fifteen percent waste. Figure for about one or two in ten to either split, be twisted, or be otherwise unusable within the bundles.

            I used about eight bundles to finish a deck project and was pleased with the quality. I picked this treated lumber up and it wasn't all perfect but did the job. They are solid and I really like the angle cuts to divert water.
