For conventional 2x framing practices the accpeted nail is a 16d nail. The length ranges from 3.25" to 3.5" and has a large head. If nailing through treated material it is recommended to use a galvanized nail, however some treated materials react adversely with galvanized materials so it is best to follow manufacturers recomendations when selcting a fastener. In general a good rule to follow is at least 2/3 of the nail or screw should enter the adjoining material for any project.
