Kathy,
I don't envy you the task of putting in post like that. When I was a teenager we put in cedar posts that size, and it is no fun!
Here are a couple of corner and gate posts in one of this years fences.
Most of the pipes were driven in four feet, but you can see the concrete around one which would not drive, so was set four feet in concrete. The nine wire fences will hold any livestock- goat, cows sheep and hogs. Will also keep coyotes from crossing unless they can find a spot to dig under.
These are 2 3/8 pipe, since these were in short stretches.. Corners for long sections are 2 7/8 pipe.
These posts are 5 feet tall.
