Is it better to use screws or nails when building a deck?
This is always really a question of personal preference, but I think screws are the better way to go. Nails usually work themselves out after a while. The heat and the cold as well as the effect of the elements tend to make the nails work out. Screws take a little more work to install, but don' usually work their way out like nails will. Good luck. Without a doubt, screws. Make sure they are galvanized, stainless or coated.
