To successfully build a fence, you'll need a basic set of tools. A post hole digger (or auger), level, tape measure and hammer for most any fence construction are essential. In addition to the basics, you’re likely to need additional tools for the specific fence you are building. Choosing the right materials before you start is imperative to help your job move along without delays. BECK has the tools, fasteners, and systems that will make quick and easy work of any type of fence you need to build. Let’s explore what tools are suggested for several types of fences.

Advantages of Steel Fastening
Steel fastening offers numerous advantages in the manufacturing of mobile homes. Firstly, steel fasteners provide exceptional strength and durability, ensuring that the various components of the home remain securely attached. This is particularly important for mobile homes, as they are subject to constant movement and transportation. Steel fasteners also have excellent resistance to corrosion, which is essential for mobile homes that may be exposed to different weather conditions. Additionally, steel fasteners are easy to install and require minimal maintenance, saving both time and money in the long run.

Pneumatic tools offer several advantages over other types of tools. One of the main benefits is their power-to-weight ratio. Pneumatic tools are lightweight and compact, yet they have the power to perform heavy-duty tasks. This makes them highly efficient and easy to handle.
Another advantage of pneumatic tools is their versatility. They can be used for a wide range of applications, including automotive repair, construction, woodworking, and metalworking. Whether you need to drive nails, tighten bolts, or sand surfaces, FASCO® (a BECK brand) pneumatic tools can get the job done.
Pneumatic tools are also known for their durability and long lifespan. They are designed to withstand heavy use and can handle tough working conditions. With proper maintenance (be sure to read the manufacturer’s directions), pneumatic tools can last for many years, making them a cost-effective choice for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.

Understanding Joists and Their Importance
Joists are an essential component of any construction project, providing structural support and stability to the building. They are horizontal members that are typically installed parallel to each other and spaced apart to create a framework for the floors, ceilings, and roofs.
The primary function of joists is to distribute the weight of the structure and any applied loads evenly across the supporting walls or beams. This helps to prevent excessive deflection or sagging, ensuring the integrity and safety of the building.
In addition to their load-bearing capabilities, joists also contribute to the overall acoustic and thermal performance of the building. By incorporating insulation materials within the joist cavities, they can help reduce noise transmission between floors and improve energy efficiency.
Understanding the different types of joists available in construction is crucial for selecting the most suitable option for a particular project, and the materials you’ll need. Each type has its own unique characteristics and advantages, which we will explore further.

In the world of roofing material, slate is among the longest-lasting and the most durable. It's so long-lasting that some slate roofs from the 1800s are still in use today. This longevity and durability mean that slate is a very different roofing material than other types of roofing material commonly used today. Slate roofs have unique considerations that affect the installation process. If you're a contractor responsible for installing slate roofs on residences or commercial buildings, these do's and don'ts can help you find success.
Of course, working with the right tools makes all the difference. The FASCO® (a BECK member) F24 Slate Hook System is designed for slate roof installation. The system includes the Slate Hook tool for some of the fastest and most efficient slate shingle installations in the world. The FASCO® F24 Slate Hook System can be operated with just one hand, so it's perfect when working on steeply pitched roofs.

Some jobs are harder than others, and as a builder, you probably have a few jobs on your list of least favorite things to do. For many builders, those least favorite jobs include driving fasteners into steel and concrete. When you’re working with wood, drywall, or other, softer materials, you can leverage nail guns to make it quick and easy to drive fasteners. Where steel and concrete are concerned, however, it often requires a lot of time and hard work.
Below, we’ll explore the difficulties you’ll face when using traditional fasteners with these materials. We’re also going to show you a better way to fasten to steel and concrete: The ET&F® (a BECK member) Model 710 fastening system, which is designed for steel and concrete—and offers the same ease of use that you’d get from a nail gun.
