- Think about your future fencing needs.
- Make sure you have all the necessary tools to complete the job.
- Note any natural obstacles - streams, gullies, etc.
- Clear the fence line, removing brush and any obstacles.

**2. Set the posts**

- Build horizontal brace members to support tensioning of wire.
- Remove knots to tie off horizontal wires to end posts.

**3. Tension the horizontal wires**

- Tension the fence sections using a [stretcher-bar](https://www.louispage.com/blog/bid/63632/how-to-pull-your-fence-to-get-it-tight).
- Splice lengths of fencing together.
