I don't want to the two metals to react. The copper sheet is .020 thick and is 12';x24';. I want to fasten the copper sheet to a wood frame. I am wanting to know what screws or nails to buy. This is for an outdoor application.What type of screws (or nails) can be used to fasten a copper metal sheet .020 thick?
use zinc coated wood screws with a neoprene washer - only tighten them to snug so you don't rip the washer. Punch the copper so the hole stays small.What type of screws (or nails) can be used to fasten a copper metal sheet .020 thick?
use brass screw or plastic screw.
Copper would be fine.
Look up the table of dissimilar metals. The further apart the metals are , the more of a problem.
Copper on copper is fine.
Outdoors use Galvanized screws - they are non-reactive to wheather.
You can purchase copper nails or brass screws. Neither will react with the copper.
