Screws! I feel it secures the wood and metal posts if you go that way.
Here in the desert the wood warps and when surface rain hits the nail and wood you have a black line running down where it was pounded in. The right size wood screw goes a bit deeper from the exterior surface leaving no tell signs.
is it all wood?
Scews of course. Faster to install and a better fastener. Easier to remove if any boards need replacing in the future.
Tara...Yes, William is right on the money!
Definitely use screws.
Screws for sure!
Always screws nails pull out with heat and cold
