Nail Gun for fence work

Dewalt with battery or dewalt drill with battery for screws

Battery impact with good screws

Will you use the nail gun for other projects? On picket fences I like to use screws. More time and labor intensive, but they'll last longer. If you do go nail gun, make sure you get nails that have some sort of adhesive coating.

Future use of the nail gun would determine whether I decide to buy the nail gun or if I decide to use impact.

Been framing up a room and I've been using a nail gun. I don't know if it's just been awhile since I've used a nail gun or if this one is different, but it sounds like a gunshot going off. It plants the nail in the wood though which is all I need it to do.

I had a coil siding gun. That’s what you need to nail fence. It has a thinner shank and was like a smaller roofing nail. I let so many people borrow it I have no clue where it is anymore.

I put up 300' of fencing about 4-5 months ago using a Husky pneumatic nailer and it worked like a charm. I did modify the trigger however to be able to do the quick/double nails.

Worked great after I realized I got 22 degree nails and it kept jamming

And make sure the nails you use are either galvanized or stainless steel. You don't want them bleeding onto your wood year down the road.

Nails are quicker, a battery dewalt should be sufficient. Be sure to use ring shank galvanized nails. Adhesive coated nails won’t stick because of the moisture it treated lumber.
