It depends on the type of fence that you are installing as well as the height and even the climate. A good rule would be 2-3 ft below the ground. For colder climates you want to make sure you bury the post below the frost line.

How much does a split rail fence cost in Michigan?
You should visit your local home store to find out how much the posts are and how much each rail is. You can then estimate the cost yourself. You will want one post every 6' and three rails. Measure your yard or area you plan to fence. Divide the number of feet by 6 to see how many posts. Be sure to add an extra post for each corner. For each post you will 3 rails + 3 extra rails to finish. Add the concrete to set the posts and labor costs and you have a good idea of the total cost.

How do you install cedar fence posts?
You need a post hole digger and cement. YOu have to measure out the area that you are putting the post. YOu can space them apart every 6-8 feet. You dig the hole and have the cement prepared and when the hole is done you put the cement around the post. The cement should come with directions for mix. You should put the post down at least 10" for it to stay in the ground well. I don't think 10 inches will quite do it. A good rule of thumb is half the heaight of the fence but nothing less than 30 inches deep. The diameter of the hole should be at least 4 inches greater in diameter than the post but nothing smaller than 6 inches. Make sure your holes look more like a bell than an ice cream cone because frost in the winter time can actually lift the post out of the ground.
