nail for flooring

[tybowl]

Hi Guys

First question or post.

I have bought agathis timber flooring (khouri pine) 152mm x 52mm t & G

I have started to secret nail them, but have been advised that they are to wide to secret nail, so I'm going to top nail them.

Could any when give me advice on what type of nail to use for hand nail and or what type of nail for nail gun (dont know what type yet coil or angle)

Have learnt alot by just reading your forums.

usually handnailed with a 50mm bullet head nail into hardwood joists. I've no idea what to use if you have pine joists as I've never worked with them. T-nails are go if using a gun, but handnailing will leave smaller holes to fill.
