OT mailbox post?
"Ignoramus5876" wrote in message ... Our old mailbox was hit by cars, snowplows etc, too many times. It is falling apart. (no foul play involved, just a lot of idiot drivers and snowplow operators) I made a swinging arm for a mailbox, so that when the mailbox is hit, it swings away and then back. So, now is the time for installing a new mailbox post. I bought a 30" post support that is made to be beaten into the ground with a sledgehammer. It is like an arrow with four fins. Those things are for lazy homeowners or temporary use. Auger a hole about 36" deep (after getting utility/private markouts) then pound a galvanized pipe in with a pipe driver, as far as you can. Cut off the pipe at the desired height with a pipe cutter. Pour concrete around (best) or tamp around the pipe as you fill with a small headed tamper. |
