Yep, there are...but in order to use them, you have to know pretty much the exact dimensions (distance from the base of the post to put the stake - distance up the post to wrap the string/wire around, etc.) so that you can "tweak" in the turnbuckle to set the post vertical.

I guess you could use a slide-adjuster for the line coming down to the stake to help take up/add the slack you'll have/need, then turn-buckle the post to vertical, but you'll still want to have 3 sets of each item to set the thing up...
