Never had that happen to me. Maybe you should be using the correct nails for the application (16d for rails and 6d for pickets, galvanized for treated or raw pine) instead of whatever's on sale at Homer Depot.Nails end up backing out of fences and decks over time.
You use those if you're gonna speed fence the place because it adds enough value to make sense in the sale listing you're gonna post upon completion of the fence.
If you're gonna live there for a while you use exterior grade screws.

Those are called ring-shank nails and they're obviously what you should use outside.The ones with ridges or spiral on them are a good improvement over plain nails. Screws are still better.

Screws are neither a better fastener nor a time save when compared to ring shanks in a deck or fence application.

we're not assholes. If you need a tool once, get the tool, and you'll have it alwaysThanks for NOT considering buying one and returning it when you’re finished. I fuckin hate that shit.
Yeah, that's something that would just sit in my garage though.we're not assholes. If you need a tool once, get the tool, and you'll have it always

edit: I'm somewhat surprised that Harbor Freight doesn't sell them. That might be worth it.
