I like it! I used a 6x6 pt set 42 deep in concrete . I found a postal approved box called Ironsides that I attached to the post with 1/2 in lags and bolts. The plow trucks haven't knocked it over since. Also the kids must be getting smarter no one has tried to use it for batting practice. Sort of disappointed.

My BIL went to one after all the repeated batting practice thru is neighborhood also.
He wanted to put a camera out there to watch the next drive by batter and the recoil of the bat:laughing:

Similar in design to the one I purchased at Home depot a couple of years ago for same problem . Ours unlocks on the front and it would be rather difficult to get it off the Post Office approved mount since you have to unlock it to get to the bolts . So far , no one has touched it , ( 2 years anyway ) . S.O.B.'s did take my old stop sign that I had bought at a yard sale , painted blue with our address numbers on it . They also tried to take neighbors solar gate , but he heard them trying that and chased them off . Anyway , Great Job !!

The OP did a heck of a nice job with his mailbox, and all stainless steel to boot!

We have numerous mailboxes embedded in brick, stone, concrete, etc monuments in my neighborhood, and the USPS hasn't griped about them. On one street a mailbox-monument was struck by a vehicle. It's no longer vertical; but it's intact.

As for junk mail. I signed up for the junk mail "do not call" equivalent at https://www.dmachoice.org and my junk mail has been reduced by 90% or more.
