Telephone pole how deep is it sunk in?

[Banvaktarn]

As the headline says, what is the norm on that?

 

[Jocke Best]

This much. So about 2 m.

Okay, that was a lot, have one that is to be used as a light pole but it leans a bit and I will try to straighten it.

Yes, under 1.5 meters deep is likely quite uncommon, but in very rocky ground, they can actually stand very shallow, but then there are supports in the form of lines or leaning short posts that provide support.

Okay, that's a lot, I have one that is to be used as a light pole but leans a bit and I will try to straighten it up.

If you have machines, you can nudge it a bit more, and knock down stones on the side it's leaning towards, use a crowbar and sledgehammer to get the stones down (not gravel now, but larger ones).
