Essentially, without knowing the exact height of the fence, it will be impossible to determine the required depth of fence posts. To give you an idea, average height fences, would typically require 3 to 4 deep fence posts. So, if you have shorter or taller fences than average, you will then need shallower or deeper fences, respectively. When digging for fence posts, also leave enough space for concrete, which is necessary for stability.
