Default Why not nails?

"JC" wrote in

A friend was talking to my wife and said "I wouldn't install those deck
boards with a nail gun, I'd use screws instead".

The wife didn't think to ask why not so I will. Why not?



deck boards move due to outdoor moisture and temperature changes and the
nails pop out. Screws will not pop out.
