Sorry forgot to mention the gravelboards are concrete as well

Depends on your soil conditions and wind exposure - but even 2 feet sounds shallow for a six foot solid panel fence. 18ins and they might shift if someone leans on them! I was advised by the fencing company to set the post in concrete as deep underground as I could get it.

You should get away with it if you are generous with the concrete around the posts: you are concreting them in? Why not dig the hole 2 feet deep, then fill with 6" of concrete, then add the post and add the rest of the concrete? Are you in an exposed position?

=============================== If you haven't already bought the panels etc. shop around for different sizes. Gravel boards are usually 12" high and you can get 6' x 5' panels to make a total height of 6'.
