The Evolution of Fastening Methods: From Basic to Advanced
The journey of fastening methods dates back to ancient times when rudimentary tools like wooden pegs and stone nails were used to hold structures together. As civilizations progressed, metal fasteners such as iron nails and bronze rivets began to emerge, providing greater strength and durability.
The Industrial Revolution marked a significant turning point with the invention of machines that could mass-produce screws and bolts. This era introduced standardized fasteners, which improved efficiency in manufacturing and construction. Over time, the development of advanced materials and precision engineering has led to the creation of high-performance fasteners capable of withstanding extreme conditions, such as the SCRAIL® nail screw fasteners by BECK.

They may look natural, but hiking trails don't happen without help. Building a hiking trail is a process, one that often involves constructing a wooden walkway or footbridge. Wooden pathways carry hikers along the ground, while footbridges take hikers over small dips. Both can help hikers’ clear tough terrain while enjoying the natural beauty around them. Although they’re simple structures, there's an art to creating hiking paths that will bear the weight of hikers, but that also fit in with the natural surroundings and stay safely in place.
The Splitless.Decking.SCRAIL® system from BECK was designed for projects like this. The cordless equipment allows for construction that occurs off the beaten path (literally). Whether you're deep in the woods or deep in your backyard, the Splitless.Decking.SCRAIL® System gets the job done.
