Fence Fastening

[bwayne46]

Hi, I have an old fence that's starting to fall apart and I'm thinking of going to the lumber yard to buy some new wood, paint, and attach it. Do you have any helpful ideas on how to best attach the boards to this type of fence post? Previously, I've used what I assume are wood screws (torx) that have been a bit too long, so they've stuck out on the back side. Maybe shorter similar wood screws? I'm grateful for any help.

In response to your question, yes, a wood screw that is long enough not to stick through the other side.

Here, a screw with a conical head has been chosen, which doesn't look very nice. Choose one with a flat/rounded head. You will likely use panel boards, which are often 22mm thick, so perhaps something like these. https://www.jula.se/catalog/bygg-oc...r/traskruv-350037/?gad_campaignid=19699579817
