What length concrete slotted posts for a 2m high panel fence?

2.4M, but dig a few holes first and see what their like at that depth. If its very soft/loose, go another bit (2.5M). Then get the posts to fit?

If you can hear the theme turn for Neighbours, well ............... stop!!
 
Generally speaking the posts should be burried 1/3 deep. For a 2m fence you should use 3m posts. 2.4m posts are really for 1.8m fences.

In reality it depends on the ground conditions. Sometimes you can get away with less than 1/3, and sometimes you need more, but I would not expect 40cm to hold a 2m high fence upright for very long. You'll need double that.

Thanks fellas - I'll dig some exploratory holes first and take it from there then. :)
