    I replaced a rural mailbox 📬 after the old 1 was hit.I didn't reuse the old bent metal post that's in cocrete 4 the past 50 yrs.I mounted it on an old 4x4 wood post and installed it just as your video.Works great.😊

    Modification: Make this project Plow Proof by attaching the mailbox mounting board to the top of a FLAT Bollard 7" sleeve by Innoplast or any other Bollard company (about $43.00) and place the sleeve over your 4" decking post. You must add a small piece of 1" board to each side of the 4x4 post which will make the diagonal 6.36" as the 4x4 is actually 3.5". Order a 7" Bollard cover with a FLAT top. Mount mailbox mounting board to the flat Bollard cover with 4 or 5 stainless steel wood screws as opposed to the traditional method of securing it directly to a wooden post. There are a bunch of Bollard cover colors to choose from. That way, if a snowplow hits your mailbox it will swivel in a circle instead of snapping off. If your mailbox is hit, simply swivel the mailbox back into position. As a precaution, it might be advisable to spray the Bollard sleeve with a silicone spray so it will not stick to any ice.

    DANG! I have been putting this off because I thought it would be a big deal! Thank you! Can I assume if I want the new box to be bigger than the existing one, I just use two 1x6s or what would be best?

    Less than 1% of mailboxes are meant to be installed this way. Make a video showing how to do the other 99% (which require no cutting!)
