Can I attach Trex composite pickets to wood rails?

Trex pickets can be attached to wood rails by screwing through the pickets into the rails. We recommend that the screws be fastened at the edges where the pickets interlock. Wood exterior screws with color matching heads are best.

While we recommend the entire Trex fence system as the best overall solution for an elegant, low-maintenance alternative to wood fencing, upgrading your pickets has specific benefits such as full privacy and reducing maintenance. Here are additional benefits.
