Hello all,
Have posted in the TOOLS AND MATERIALS section in relation to my intended purchase of a nailer for numerous projects.
Garden-wise, I have two projects - fencing (featheredge) and a shed (shiplap)
On the subject of fencing, whilst researching nailers, I came across a lot of information suggesting that screws may be better than nails for the fencing.
I will be purchasing a nailer anyway (for other projects if not for the fencing etc.) but wanted to know your expert views on whether SS screws were better than nails for attaching the featheredge to the arris rails.
If they ARE then do they need a pilot hole to prevent them splitting the wood?
Thanks in advance.
