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?
 
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
 
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.
