I can't think of a picture tutorial I've seen for building fences and walls. The procedure is the same, though, with the difference between a fence and the two walls being that the walls have a 'cooldown' period after the first cornerpost is placed.

1. Build a cornerpost where you want the wall to be. For a roundpole fence, you can continue to build the fence one section at a time. For a palisade or brick wall, you will need to wait 12 hours before continuing construction.

2. Right click the cornerpost and you will get a menu of directions to extend it. Remember north is to the upper right corner. Click the direction you want to go. Make sure to leave room for your avatar to move and place the signpost.

3. To continue in a new direction or to build a gate, you will need to place another cornerpost. You can then extend in any of the other 3 directions with that cornerpost.

4. To build a gate, you need two cornerposts with exactly two empty tiles between them like this: X--X. If you have your cornerposts positioned correctly, you'll get an additional option on the cornerpost menu to build a gate in a direction.

Hope it helps.

And if it's a palisade, you absolutely need to seal the cornerposts if you're not going to expand very soon, especially the ones by your gate. It's prime griefer territory, they love to seal you in.
