I have used PD 6547 for this in the past. (UK)

With 2' embedment... they would last one winter in our environs. Should be an inch or two above grade and slope away from the post, and even in good climate should be about 3' min depth, I would suspect.

It depends on where you are located and what the environment conditions are.

If you are in a location with wind, the document below provides a methodical way of designing the drilled shaft foundation:

It doesn't use EC or BS8110 but it follows the IBC, which is quite conservative for stuff like this.

Another option is the Process Industry Practices standard: PIP CVS02830 "Fabrication and Installation of Chain Link Fence and Gates".
