    I want to frame a shed in 6x2. I have a box of 3 inch nails. I presume these are ok? Would prefer 3 and half inch but they dont seem to be to easily available.

    Thanks

    4"would be preferable
    3" wouldn't get enough bite I reckon

    thanks bullock, would 4" not be too long? For example you might have the point of the nail exiting when nailing king studs around doors or windows?
