[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1478065, member: 24027"] So far I haven't found anything specifically illegal about but I'll ask a friend of ours that's an attorney. The USPS guidelines state: The best mailbox supports are stable but bend or fall away if a car hits them. The Federal Highway Administration [b]recommends[/b]: A 4" x 4" wooden support or a 2"-diameter standard steel or aluminum pipe. Avoid unyielding and potentially dangerous supports, like heavy metal pipes, concrete posts, and farm equipment (e.g., milk cans filled with concrete). Bury your post no more than 24" deep. The nearest house is a mile away and there are about 5 houses along that mile stretch of road, 3 of which have farm implements (old plow, etc). There's not a lot of traffic in my neck of the woods.
