In this pic he is securing 1x4 strips across the BACK of the fence , 2 screws each will make sure it stays straight in the ground.
Here's the materials:
4x8 preassembled wood fence panel
1x4 lumber, 8-foot (to re-in force the fence across)
4x4 fence post (decorative top looks the best)
4x4 Metal post holders (to hold fence in ground)
Deck screws (they don't stain or weather)
Exterior paint (it's moisture resistant)

1x1 furring strips (that's for the tomato cage)
You'll be left with this:
Lay sections on saw horses or drop cloth
and paint away.
Once paint is completely dry, hammer the post holders into the ground & then slip posts into holders & tighten screws. The ones I bought were 24 inches long and came with screws.
Next, attach fencing to the posts with deck screws. You can touch screws up with a Lil paint once done...just in case you need to make a last minute adjustment.
I'm going with navy blue posts with khaki fence because that's what I have left over from my house being painted.
Paint the post a contrasting color like they
did here or re-use what you have lying around. Just make sure it's graded for outdoor use.
Have Fun!!!
Wow! fantastic project!
