[QUOTE="Bez__, post: 1136948, member: 22126"] I have a twelve foot long / 6 inch diameter / solid steel bar driven all the way into the ground with only enough for the mailbox to sit on. I needed three guys to hold it up while we pounded it in with the bucket of the tracked excavator. I have a 1/4 inch solid steel box with a solid steel door that has to be opened to put the mail in. The door is balanced to close naturally and also allow it to open easily by the delivery guy. It is bolted [b]and[/b] welded to the solid steel bar. I have it nicely painted. There have been wooden bats found in the vicinity of the box from time to time - did not even chip the paint - I would have loved to seen their expressions as they drove by and hit it. I catch anyone doing this I promise I will use the same bat on their vehicle - to heck with the consequences. In the meantime I built one that is virtually indestructible - looks good and conforms to all postal requirements. It even has a solid steel flag mounted on the side of the box painted silver so it is easy to see from the house if I use the binoculars to look at the mail box. Beat the pricks at their own game - never surrender Bez [/QUOTE]
