Our wooden fences aren't nailed or stapled together.
Instead, our fences are built to last in an area such as this, (where
we are constantly threatened by hurricanes, hailstorms, high winds
and bad thunderstorms). We attach 3 rows of 2" x 4" rails to
the posts using 3" deck screws. Pickets are then attached to the rails
with 2" deck screws.
