What is the Right Size of a Nail Gun for Fence Pickets?
Prefer to Leave the Nail Gun to the Pros?
If the job is bigger than a weekend project, Ark Fence Company installs wood fences across North Houston. No nail guns required on your end.
If you are attempting a DIY repair or build, using the wrong fastener is the fastest way to a failing fence. For standard cedar or pine pickets, the size and type of nail gun you use determine if your pickets will stay attached during the next Houston windstorm.

The 2-Inch Galvanized Standard
For 5/8" or 3/4" thick pickets, we recommend a 15-gauge or 16-gauge finish nailer or a coil siding nailer using 1-3/4" to 2" ring-shank nails. Most importantly, ensure the nails are Hot-Dipped Galvanized or Stainless Steel. Standard nails will react with the natural tannins in cedar, causing ugly black streaks to run down your fence within months.
