This was probably the thing I cared about but once the fence had silvered you could really notice them at all. I dunno what the cost difference would’ve been for screwing and hiding the heads under plugs but I imagine more than I would’ve cared for considering we never planned to stay that long
You don't need to hide screw heads under plugs - we (well, our builders) used a nail gun and shot stainless nails in from behind/below so they weren't visible. Probably quicker and easier than screws tbh!
But yeah, can imagine the nails looked better when the wood had silvered. What wood was that?
He doesn't care, he doesn't own it any more!
(It's the visible fixing nails in the wood that would drive me mad. None were allowed for our larch fencing.)
