qualm, " quickly quoth:

I'm planning to build a fence for the yard, using 6" Cedar pickets and
ACQ lumber for the horizontal pieces.

My question is about the type of screws to use. I have been told that
the 'green ceramic' ones are what I need (they're rather expensive) as
I don't want screws that are going to rust, or do anything to discolor
the pickets.

The new ACQ lumber is almost always brown. I use the primed deck
screws. They're a bit more expensive at $4.50/lb but they don't
corrode in a year like untreated screws would.

ACQ needs triple galv hardware, stainless hardware, or primed hardware
to last. Think what the extra labor will cost if you don't use it.
