I myself will proly just use an 8# sledge, some wood on the top, and an
extree pair of hands to hold/level/guide the post as I bang away.

This is all you need. Works great and isn't that
expensive...

Yes! This purely beats a sledge and it's easy to make if you can
weld.

The professional approach would be to rent an auger post hole digger,
drill holes, insert sonotube, plant posts, backfill with concrete. The
holes need to go below frost line. That'd be 4 feet here, don't know
about Yonkers.

jeez, yonkers, i wonder if you'd have to call that "buried utilities"
number.

i always remember this story from fine homebuilding magazine, their funny
back-pages "great moments in building history" column.
