My box is 30 years old, and very strong, so it just has a small dent where they wacked it a few years ago. I bet that hurt. My neighbor had one of those cheap aluminum ones, and they gave that the el kabong on the top, and flattened it. He works at Pratt and Whitney Aircraft, so had a nice stainless steel one made from 1/4 inch plate. No more problem. My brother just got mail delivery in his tiny town in Vermont, so he bought his new box at mailbox.com and he said they had them from cheap to 1/4 inch plate. I have mine mounted just past the telephone pole, so it is difficult to hit, and the plow trucks would have to take down the pole first. I remember hitting a pole when I was plowing many years ago, it still has the scar where the top of the blade hit it a glancing blow. Years ago when I lived in Vermont, my neighbor installed a brand new box on a new pole, and as we were admiring his work, I asked if he had his candy for trick or treat that night. You should have seen his face when he realized it was oct 31. Sure enough, the box was history in the morning, and he went to the PO and rented an indoor box.
