1
Pull the wire along the length of the fence so that the wires square up to you.

2
Overlap the fence and trim the excess fence off. You should leave yourself enough overlap to finalize your measurements and splice the fence. Tie the overlaps together to maintain an easier work area. (If you have assistance, they can help hold the overlap together.)

Crimp the wire with the crimping tool.
