Upgrade to 4" Exterior Screws for Superior Fence Durability
Experience the difference of professional-grade fastening that outlasts traditional nailing methods in Seattle's demanding Pacific Northwest climate.
Why Choose Screws Over Nails?
Traditional nailing methods have been the standard for decades, but they come with significant drawbacks. Our 4-inch exterior screws provide a superior alternative that addresses the common failures we see in nail-fastened fences throughout the Seattle area.
Superior Holding Power
Screws create a mechanical bond that resists pull-out forces far better than nails, keeping your fence panels securely attached for years.
No Nail Pop-Out
Unlike nails that work their way out over time, screws maintain their position and won't back out, eliminating the need for ongoing maintenance.
Prevents Rail Failure
Nails tend to bend and loosen, causing fence panels to give and fail. Screws provide rigid, lasting connections that maintain fence integrity.
Perfect for PNW Climate
Seattle's wet winters and dry summers cause wood movement. Screws accommodate this better than nails, reducing stress and failure points.
Our Professional Installation Process
We don't just swap nails for screws—we take the time to do it right. Every 2x4 rail is carefully pre-drilled before installing 4-inch exterior-grade screws, ensuring optimal performance and preventing wood splitting.
The Problem with Traditional Nails
In our decades of experience working on fences throughout the Seattle area, we've seen the same problems repeatedly with nail-fastened fences:
- •Nails bend during installation or over time, reducing holding power
- •Wood movement causes nails to work loose and back out
- •Fence panels begin to sag and separate from posts
- •Constant maintenance required to re-nail loose boards
- •Eventual fence failure requiring costly repairs
Investment in Quality
While screws represent a modest upgrade cost, the long-term value is substantial. You'll save on maintenance, avoid premature repairs, and enjoy a fence that maintains its structural integrity and appearance for decades.

Pre-Drilling Every Hole
We pre-drill pilot holes in all 2x4 rails to prevent splitting and ensure screws drive straight and true. This extra step takes time but guarantees professional results.

We use premium exterior-grade screws with corrosion-resistant coatings designed specifically for outdoor wood construction and Seattle's climate.
Quality Control
