Screw or nail boards?

Screws hold better so I use them as much as feasible when building anything out of wood.
Have never built anything out of cedar though.

Always screws and use exterior grade screws.

How big of a fence?

Screws obviously are the best option but ring shanked nails are plenty for a fence. When a few come out in a year then put a screw in those.

I used galvanized ring shank nails. Also I stained the fence boards with clear stain with the fungicide SW sells three times before nailing them up. Wall is 8 foot. I do not expect it to warp or rot.

Stainless screws are the best. Galvanized screws or nails will stain cedar eventually. But if you are installing hundreds of feet of fence, I would nail it with ring shank galvanized nails with a coil nail gun to save time and money.

I used stainless ring shank with a coil nailer. Work smart not hard.

You would be amazed at the durability of a well built fence using only screws. It cost more, but will pay for itself in the longevity you gain.

I screwed with those star head tan coated screws. Fence is about 9 years old and the screws look brand new.
