Alternatives to post holes?

Are there any alternatives to digging a post holes? I'm not confident in my ability to keep the post flush and upright + I'm not confident in my ability to make sure that all the posts all protrude out the same length + the ground underneath may be full of gigantic rocks that I can't dig through. Would something like a 50inch adjustable helical pole be easier to work with instead of a post hole and post? Screw it in and mount the post on top of it. Frost line is 4 feet which matches length of this thing. For reference, this is for an uncovered / open car port submitted by /u/korkvid [link] [comments]
