Galvanized nails vs coated outdoor screws Nails and screws are the unsung heroes of the fence and deck industry. We talk a lot about the best type of wood to use for your planks–FenceWorks NW sources our cedar from a sustainably managed forest for a long-lasting fence or deck that’s good for the environment. And you’ve likely heard us wax poetic on the merits of pressure-treated vs. galvanized steel posts.  https://fenceworksnw.com/blog/galvanized-nails-vs-coated-outdoor-screws/

To paint or to stain: the best way to protect your fence Nothing beats that new fence or deck look. Freshly painted or stained wood is like Botox for your home– transforming a tired yard into a welcoming haven. Many of our customers ask us, “Is paint or stain the best way to protect my fence?” That’s a great question! The climate in the Pacific Northwest exposes your fence to high moisture levels, and choosing the most protective finish is an important decision. https://fenceworksnw.com/blog/to-paint-or-to-stain-the-best-way-to-protect-your-fence/
