How to keep a rod vertical as I drive it into the ground

rebar

I am trying to insert rebar into the ground to hold an art project. I cannot get it straight. I am starting with a drill bit, then hammer, then fence post banger. I is angles every time. Suggestions?

Put the rebar into the ground so it comes out a few inches.

Then connect to it with the uprights etc that you need using bolted joints. That way you can get them upright irrespective of the rebar angle.
