Anyone else see a problem with nails in a board fence backing out?
Some of the board fences I've built in recent years seem to have problems with nails backing out of the posts.I'm using oak boards and nailing into treated posts or some creosote.I've used the hot dipped galvanized nails to keep the treated posts from corroding them.
I've even gone back and put some decking screws in to help hold but I'm not sure the smaller heads won't pull through the oak unless I'd put a small washer on them as well.
