Can you help with my garden fencing project?

I am replacing my garden fencing with some friends this weekend. It will be shiplap wooden panels with concrete gravel boards and concrete posts.Overall I will be installing 10 6'0" panels.





The garden slopes away from the house and I will have to step down the panels to the bottom end of the garden. Also I will have to start at the top of the garden, where there already is good substantial fencing.





Does anyone have a simplictic way of calculating the step-down I will need for each panel?|||you only need to know one thing





how much is the drop in the land from top to bottom of slop





after you have placed the first one in place at the top the slope.


then measure the drop and if you are placing 9 more panels then divide the measurement by 9 and lower each panel by that amount|||Put the first one in level, and drop each one by 4". This should be able to take the slope.|||First, measure a diameter|||set post at top. fit temporary post at bottom, tie string line over top and top of bottom post, from the string line you will be able to measure down to ground level at the post spaces. there could be problems if the ground is on an incline but also curved? the actual panels would be in steps. you could plan it on paper first.|||Without seeing it its hard to say


If the slopes really steep then you could step it down with the gravel boards (so the bottom of one end is just under the ground and the other end is above ground level) so that each section steps it down by the depth of the gravel board|||As above re the calculations but you also need to remember that if you are using concrete posts that you should use close board sections. Shiplap wooden fence panels are not designed to go with concrete posts and will blow out in heavy wind.|||just build the panel in place put the post in string from top to buttom and fill in the rest it will come out perfect.
