Architectural Mailboxes DPK000AM Drive-in Post, No Size, Aromatic Cedar

Hardest part was getting the old one out. This was easy to install, and inexpensive. I don't expect it to last more than a couple of years. Biggest problem is postal clerk closing the lid too hard and snow plows pushing snow up against the post and wallering out hole. A small angle-iron is not very secure. This is a quick & cheap solution. It is NOT a long term solution.

Looks great and so easy to install. No concrete or other difficult post methods. Install during height of summer when ground was hard. Looks great. Will see if it holds up during the rainy weather and stays stable.

This is very straight forward. First turn over and pound iron bar into cedar wood in the predrilled hole. Next unless you like a wobbly mailbox i suggest using concrete mix in hole the just wait till next day and apply mailbox. Mine arrived with the mailbox mounting board broken into two pieces. I tried to glue back but was warped so i had to source another piece of wood. I also sealed the cedar before installing so keep its great look. Very pleased with results. I always have scrap wood so fact piece arrived broken was not big deal BUT TO YOU IT MIGHT BE. Be warned.

Quality product at a reasonable price.

Replaced our mailbox after a wind storm. Only took an hour to install

The wood was rough-cut, and was clearly cut while wet, so that it twisted while it dried. A lengthy split in the post we received is likely to reduce its strength significantly. The screws sent with the post were flimsy and had to be replaced after breaking.We had high-quality screws and a tablesaw, so we were able to make it work. But you’d probably be better off just buying wood and shaping your own.

I was pleasantly surprised. Driving stake into the ground was much easier than digging a hole. Might not work as well in very rocky ground. Mounting post to stake was easy. Final assembly was easy as well.

My landscaper installed this and it was not sturdy at all.Ended up buying something else.
