Gather your materials.

Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary materials on hand. This includes star pickets, fencing wire, a post driver, a tape measure, a spirit level, and a shovel.

Mark your boundaries.

Start by marking out the boundaries of your fence with stakes and string. This will help you visualize where the fence will go and ensure that it is straight and level.

Install the star pickets.

Once the holes are dug, it's time to install the star pickets. Start by placing a picket in the first hole and use the post driver to hammer it into the ground until it is secure. Make sure the picket is straight and level before moving on to the next one.

Attach the fencing wire.

Once all the pickets are in place, it's time to attach the fencing wire. Start at one end of the fence and thread the wire through the holes in the pickets. Use pliers to tighten the wire and secure it in place.

Before you finish up, double-check that the fence is straight, level, and secure. Make any adjustments as needed to ensure that your fence will stand the test of time.

Add finishing touches.
