After moving here about thirty years ago I got tired of buying new mailboxes every few months. I can't see the box from my house so I guess that makes it fair game. Seemed so anyway. I made a mail box out of 1/4" thick 6" square tubing and cut 6" pipe to round the top off. Looks just like the real thing. Also built the lid and flag out of heavy iron also. I put it on a 3" schedule 40 pipe with 6" channel iron to mount the box to. The pipe has "wings" welded in the lower (ground) section of the pipe so it can't be twisted out of the ground. No problems except for the paint getting beat up. It's a favorite for bottle practice but I bet the perp only does it once. Someone tried to pull it out of the groung once but it was just too much for them.
