What about the post snapping off above the bracket? Is this a real danger?
Or rather, the post coming loose in the bracket?

I think the most likely failure would be the bracket coming loose in
the ground. It may go 30 inches deep but isn't it like a sword, just
a flat piece of metal?

I thought these things were for mailboxes, or repairs.


It's crossed - two pieces perpendicular to each other. Tapered, maybe 1" at
the bottom. 4" at the top. The box they come in shows mail boxes and picket
fences, and larger fences. I vote for mailboxes and picket fences, they
would work very well for that.
