how deep to submerge vertical supports for trellis?

I have some recycled wood pallets with between 6 and 8 feet long. I plan to turn them into several trellises.

My question is: For a piece that is 6 feet above ground level, do I need to bury it 2 or 3 feet down? Does attaching it to the raised bed framing mean that it doesn't need to go quite as deep?

I plan to grow pumpkins and squash on these trellises, so they need to be able to support a fairly large amount of weight, without toppling!
