Default Fence building.

I want to make a 6' tall, wood fence, on 8' centers, using 4" x 4" wood
posts.

When I attach the 2" x 4" horizontal members to the post, is it best to
use lag bolts, decking screws or nails?

The fences I have seen all used nails for that part. Ring shank nails
are the way to go and have incredible widthdrawal resistance. The wood
will fail before that type of nail with come out. If you use an air
nailer it is fast too.
