It should be at least 12", and maybe deeper, depending on the type of pipe you use. Even in a PVC sleeve, if could get the pipe through it, the material you use is critical.

Contact your local gas supplier for exact requirements in your area. 6" is definitely too shallow for any pipe.

I would hope that was width.

Some people should not be playing with gas.

One more thing: you will probably need a permit for what you want to do.

Doing gas line work is not a job for homeowners or DIYers, even though digging a trench is. Call a lic plumber.
