In anticipation of another gorgeous summer, I'm planning on sticking a couple of posts in the ground to hang a hammock between.
Two 4x4" posts dug in 3-3.5m apart. Will add concrete mix, and will also be using a round pole to act as a brace between the two posts at the top.
A bit like this:

Question is, will 3m posts be long enough given that they have to stand at just over head height?
Is 2/3 above ground and 1/3 dug in adequate? (given that the horizontal pole should act to stop the posts from falling in)
Edit: Forgot to mention soil is clay rather than sandy.
