Coil nails, also known as fence staples, are commonly used for the following fencing applications:

Wire fencing

Coil nails for fencing are extensively used to attach wire fencing, especially barbed wire and woven wire fencing, to wooden posts. The nails securely grip and hold the wire to the posts.


Rail fencing

Coil nails can be used to attach wooden rails to split rail fence posts. The nails are driven through the rails into the posts to permanently secure the rails.

Board fencing

While less common, coil nails are sometimes used to affix wooden boards to fence posts when constructing board-on-board fencing. The nails are driven through the boards into the edge of the posts.

Electric fencing

Coil nails are often used to attach electric fence wires and fence posts for permanent electric fencing. The nails create a secure attachment point for the electric fence wiring and components.

Gates

Coil nails are frequently used to construct and hang wooden fence gates. The nails are used to join the wood pieces making up the gate, as well as to attach the gate to the fence posts.

Post bracing

To provide support and reinforcement, coil nails are often used to secure wooden boards placed between T-posts and other fence posts. The bracing boards are nailed to the front and back of adjacent posts.

Signage

Coil nails can also be used to affix fencing signs, like "No Trespassing" signs, to wooden fence posts. The nails are driven through the corners and edges of the signs into the posts.

The most common uses for coil nails in fencing applications are for attaching wire fencing, rail fencing, boards, electric fence components, gates, post bracing, and fence signage to wooden posts. Coil nails provide a simple yet effective means of creating secure attachments for these types of fencing materials.
