Don't forget to hammer pickets in at 45degrees to the angle of pull and not vertical! They'll take alot more load that way and also hold for longer if they start to pull out.
Mark where your front picket is in the grass and also your rearmost picket (ie paint, rock etc). If the front picket moves then the system is tensioning and possibly reaching capacity. If the rearmost pickets start to creep then you have exceeded the capacity of the system....Time to add more pickets to the rear.
