There are a few ways to suspend and support your fence material.
1) direct suspension: The most common way is to attach material directly to trees using galvanized staples or similar. The material has some flex and will move as the tree grows out, the staples not harming the tree. Material is attached to posts with ties. This is the best method for distances of 15' or less, as the material isn't spanned a great enough distance to create a sag in the middle. For a garden fence, this is done 95% of the time.
2) cabling suspension: Heavy-duty protection by suspending the fence line by nylon cabling, at the top of the fence line minimally. Cabling is attached to trees and posts (using ties, bolts or similar) and fence material is then attached to the cabling using fence ties or hogrings. Cabling gives the fence line rigidity but also some bounce; if a tree branch were to fall on your fence, more often than not you can cut away the branch and the fence will spring back up into place. If using a chew-proof base, this method is preferred because of the added weight on the fence (prevents sagging). Use gripple connectors to connect two pieces of cabling together. This method of suspension is suggested for spans greater than 15'. For instance, if you directly suspend fencing at 7' over a span of 25' the middle of the fence line (without suspension cabling) would be closer to 6'6" rather than 7'. Use the cabling to create uniform height across large spans.
