It's aready wired together and can be simply stapled to the posts of your fence with contruction staples. You can either get the small, thin reed fencing or larger diameter bamboo at most housing supply warehouses. If you want it DIY you could pick up bamboo from Bamboo Ben or Oceanic Arts, giving you an excuse to visit them, or check your local gardening center or housing supply warehouse, you can cut it to length with a chop saw & split it with a machete (half round bamboo will double the coverage you get from the same amount of round bamboo). For quickie DIY light up globes in netting you could take an unmirrored gazing ball or a round, white garden lamp cover, add a 40 watt colored light inside & put it into some of that string netting you can pick up at Michael's or Hobby Lobby.
