Digging post holes is a necessary element of any fence installation. The depth of the pit depends on several factors, including the height and type of fence, as well as the width of the fence post. Generally, you should dig holes with a depth that is at least half the size of the fence post. The minimum depth you need to dig fence post holes for panel sections is 2 feet, but you should dig deeper holes if the fence post is 7 feet or longer.
A general formula is to dig the holes between one-third and one-half the height above the ground of the pole. The deeper you dig the holes, the more stability your fence has, but you should also buy longer posts.
