Any tips on how to get a panel up six feet to drop it in.

You do what I did last weekend abd enlist a neighbour to give you a
hand. Even that was pretty awkward. I can't think how you'd do it alone
without substantial equpiment, as even if you can get the thing up 6
feet in the air, unless you slide it in exactly level it will jam in the
slots.

I've done it, not too difficult, though I do lifting and manual work
every day, so maybe I'd find it easier.
The best thing is to lift it 4 or 5 feet high, then sit it on something,
leaning against the post - a couple of wood offcuts of the right length
would be good. Far easier then to lift it the foot or so to get it on
the top. Once it is 8" or so in the slot, the jam it at an angle, it
wont fall out then, and just lift the end that is jammed to get it a bit
further down.
