plow-proof mailboxes
 
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

other options....

Return-To-Center

MailSwing, the Swing Away Rural Mailbox that is Snowplow and Vandal Resistant

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! :)
