Fasteners
The first fastener is a roof nail and is most commonly used as a temporary hold down for the wall flashing membrane. If that’s not something you do, feel free to change that fastener out to something you would use.
The second fastener is the regular all purpose fastener. If you want to change the type of fastener, click the three dotted button and choose from the list. If your option is not there, you can either copy and insert one that is, or you can click the plus at the top to create a new one.
Pieces Per Carton
Pcs/Crtn gives the box count. If you put in the correct pieces per box in this field, then on the pricing screen you’re going to see the material presented to you in a box format. If you leave the pieces per carton zero, we’re going to give you a per piece count. So instead of pricing a box of fasteners, you would actually be pricing the individual fastener themselves.
