There are screws designed for your issue.

Is this DIY, or are you asking to be able to hire someone?

In the old days, one would use a few nails, they would usually die before the nail worked loose. Today, one should use screws because screws take longer to work loose.

If you are old and on the way out, pound a few nails, if you feel you will outlast nails, use screws.

Will have someone try using the special screws designed for this.
