It reduces the holding power of the nails and can be prevented several ways. The best way is to predrill the hole. You can also flip the nail over and lightly hammer the pointed end of the nail to blunt it. Neither of these is necessary as you can drive nails without doing either, but these are a couple of tricks to reduce splitting. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe provide nails that have been galvanized to resist corrosion and rust because we want your boxes to last a long time. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe highly recommend using wood glue when assembling bee boxes.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Even with the best nails, boxes can swell and buckle under changing environments. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2V7nl5S\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThis is the glue\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e we recommend for assembling both frames and boxes; it is what we use, and you won't be disappointed with it. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLooking for nails to assemble frames with?
