At what depth should I bury wooden fence posts?
A general rule of thumb is to place 1/3 of the length of the post in the ground. Use a diameter of 10″-12″ for all postholes. We also suggest burying all gate posts, end posts and corner posts 6″ deeper than the other posts, especially in areas with high wind or extreme weather. Check your local building codes through your city or county government for further details.
