For western red cedar, it's best to use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized nails to prevent rust and corrosion, as the wood's natural oils can react with regular steel. Ideally, use ring-shank nails for better grip and holding power, especially in outdoor applications. A nail size of 8d to 10d is typically appropriate for most projects involving cedar.
