getting tired of repairng 4 times a year, came across a few.....


i like this one the best, I can attach to my wood post and its $50. Even a hack like me can install

PlowProof Mailbox Support Arm, post, mailbox post, - Mailbox Support Arm and Installation Instructions (http://www.plowproof.com/support-arm-and-assembly/)

other options....

Return-To-Center (http://shop.rtcmailboxsolutions.com/)

MailSwing, the Swing Away Rural Mailbox that is Snowplow and Vandal Resistant (http://www.ruralmailboxes.com/)

anyone have a homemade solution? I was thinking of a heavy machine spring mounted to the bottom

Ask Raider Ron or Niko which box would stand up to their whacks! :)

Back in the day we made an art form out of taking out mailboxes.
