Your outdoor projects are your most visible, so how good they look and how well they last is a huge reflection on you. Have people asking for your contact information by following these quick and easy construction adhesive tricks that your competitors may not even consider.
On Wooden Fences:
Use LIQUID NAILS Heavy Duty Construction Adhesive (LN-903) at the joints in addition to standard fasteners to achieve:
Increased Durability — Fasteners alone tend to loosen up over time and cause loose boards. A little Liquid Nails Heavy Duty Construction Adhesive can help keep the connection strong. Watch Fido try to push through that.
Protection Against Corrosion — The Heavy Duty Construction Adhesive can help keep water from seeping in at the fasteners and therefore help prevent unsightly and dangerous rust.
On Sheds:
Improve the wind uplift resistance of the shed roof by running a bead of LIQUID NAILS Subfloor & Deck Construction Adhesive (LN-602) or LIQUID NAILS Subfloor & Deck Construction Adhesive for Extreme Temperatures (LN-902) along the junction of the sheathing and the rafters. Next time a bad storm comes, your customers might be the only ones around whose sheds still have roofs.
On Low Retaining Walls:
Use two beads of LIQUID NAILS FUZE*IT All Surface Construction Adhesive (LN-2000) between layers to achieve a long-lasting, impact-resistant structure. This product works well as a retaining wall adhesive because it bridges gaps to create a flexible bond that will withstand seasonal movement and temperature extremes. It's also easy to work with, providing 10 minutes of open time to allow for position changes.
Once dry, the wall adhesive will have locked the landscape materials into a single, unified wall that will add lasting appeal to the outdoor space to impress your customers and their guests long-term.
*Higher structures require professional engineering for safety reasons.
On Outdoor Kitchens:
While concrete or stone is commonly used when constructing outdoor kitchen islands, wood can serve as a viable alternative when paired with construction adhesive. Despite its lighter weight, there are steps you can take to help make a wooden frame almost as sturdy as traditional construction at a fraction of the cost and hassle.
Please refer to the Product Label, Technical Data Sheet (TDS) or Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for safety and detailed application instructions.
