Probably should use powder or vinyl coated screws, like deck screws. Also maybe stainless.
I put my gutters on with square drive stainless screws.

My first carpentry job was a cedar roof, when I was 13.
Been using SS ever since. |

You want to use drywall screws on your fence? How well do you think it’s going to work?
Of course it’s going to be a rusty shit show. Stainless, or at least coated as typical deck screws. |

Don't do it if you want it to last and/or look good.
Outside of stainless (the way to go if you care about lasting results), all screws seem to bleed/rust eventually in cedar although purpose made screws do a lot better. |

A common problem I’m told with most deck screws is that they may have a ceramic coating that strips off of the threads when the screw is driven into the wood. So you believe that you’ve installed a good, quality screw but it doesn’t last. Stainless or galvanized is the way to go.
