One pack holds 150 nails, which attaches about 20 feet of spring bronze when spaced every 1.6 inches as recommended. For about 100 feet of spring bronze you would need 4 boxes. You can buy a single box or 4 boxes.
Can copper plated nails be used in coastal areas?
No. These copper-plated steel nails are not recommended for installation within 10 miles of salt water. For coastal applications, use solid bronze nails instead.
