Landscaping with timber accents has become a popular trend in recent years, due to its ability to add a touch of natural beauty to any outdoor space. However, incorporating timber accents into landscaping projects can be challenging, requiring contractors to think creatively and use the right tools.
One essential aspect of building a timber structure is ensuring that it is structurally sound and can withstand the elements for years to come. Developed by BECK, Jumbo SCRAIL® nail screw fasteners are specifically designed to hold large, thick items in place, starting from a length of 100mm. When working with massive timber pieces, these fasteners are more than capable of getting the job done right, ensuring that your landscape creations stand up to the test of time. These fasteners are versatile enough to handle different types of timber applications, making installation quick and easy.
Let’s explore further how to build outdoor spaces with timber that will look beautiful, function well, and stand up to the elements!

When it comes to roofing, there are a variety of options to choose from, and deciding between them can be difficult. Two of the most popular options for contractors are shingles and metal roofing. Each has its own unique advantages and drawbacks, so it's important to understand the differences between them before deciding on which one is right for your project.
Another consideration is if you have the right tools to ensure efficient and proper material installation. For example, the SCRAIL® ROOFLOC® Metal Roofing System developed by BECK is the ultimate installation device when it comes to metal roofing. Since the SCRAIL® ROOFLOC® fasteners are pneumatically driven in, metal roofing can be put in quickly and efficiently.
But which roofing option is best for your client? Let’s compare the two options!

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.

Fastener failure happens. Machinery vibrations and heavy use are the primary causes of fastener failure, but poor installation of staples and nails can exacerbate the problem. Fastener failure is a common cause of leaks and deterioration of exterior structures, but most failures can be avoided.
The best way is by using BECK’s patented Diamond Coated Fasteners—they are designed not to fail. They have a proprietary coating composition that stops staple and nail failure before it begins, by controlling friction and destroying fewer wood fibers. But first, let’s investigate the causes of fastener failure and then review the solutions.

Quality subfloor installation is crucial to the overall stability and appearance of your finished projects. What you may not know is that a lot goes into the flooring assembly to create a stable subfloor. Most flooring systems start with a well-designed joist structure, sometimes followed by installation, then the subfloor itself, and last of all, an underlayment if necessary.
In this article, we’re going to examine why it’s important to make sure the subfloor layer is done properly—and we’re also going to take a look at the SCRAIL® SubLoc® PRO System from BECK, which is the ideal system for installing a strong, stable subfloor.
