I got a mail box made of 11 gage steel (1/8 inch thick) and mounted it on a swing away system. The post is 1 1/2 inch pipe and rests in a 2 inch pipe sleeve so the box can swing away if anything hits it. The box support is cantilevered about 3 feet. If the snow plow or a piece of farm equipment, etc hits it, the box will swing back out of the way. It's been there about 5 years and it's only been pushed back once in that time. There is a cross bolt in the post that sits in a notch in the 2 inch sleeve. No dents, but it's gonna need some paint soon. Before I got this box, I was putting up a new one every few months. The box came from Lowe's and cost about $50. There are also heavy duty plastic boxes that are supposed to withstand the vandals. Several neighbors have those and they seem to work too.
