I have the following fence one which some of the stakes came out:

What glue do I use to put them back together? It looks like there was some clear plastic type glue used previously (bottom of picture). Also, is this fence vinyl or pvc?

That's a super cheaply made PVC fence that looks like Lowes used to sell and have since been changed and is now screwed and glued.
Glue all you want it's just going to fall back off.
lol, I was thinking someone would say this.
I have that EXACT fence on a property I own. Mine looks a lot nicer though. The previous owners installed it about 8 years ago and it still looks good. The neighbor behind has a lawn service that rips pickets off regularly. I have tried clamping with Liquid Nails and even super glue gel and they do not hold more than a couple of months. What I finally started doing is drill a 5/8" hole from behind through the "2x4" plastic. It will give you a window to put your power driver to drive 1" screws into the pickets. I found some white painted screws that work well. I'm going to rig a jig out of wood scrap soon so the whole repair will be faster. To plug the 5/8" hole you can get some plastic plugs off eBay.
Thanks, I noticed that the beam that the pickets are connected to has a piece of wood inside. Maybe I could just get some screws, make a hole, and screw the stake into the beam?
I have used liquid nails to stick those back on. Put some blue tape around it to hold it place till the adhesive sets.
Liquid nails is not a bad idea. Hmmm...
