Just found this site. WONDER - FULL. Plant data base is great. Need information on fences. Looking at 6' cedar shadowbox with 4" pickets. Which is better: Treated wood 4"x4" posts in cement or steel posts in soil? Aluminum or galvinized nails or screws? Anyone with fence experience (poitive/negative) please respond.

Welcome!

We used galvanized screws in our wood fence which has posts in concrete. So much easier to replace boards, etc. with the screws.
