Bought the post. Very strong as advertised. Here's how I installed it - one man job. I dug a hole to the proper depth plus 6 inches. I filled the hole with 3 inches of crushed stone bought at the hardware store. I also bought a white plastic pipe fitting that fit inside the 2 3/4" inner diameter of the pipe. I drilled holes in the base of the plastic piece to let water escape. That allowed the pipe to stand on its own, making it unnecessary to build something to hold the pipe upright. By adjusting the stones, I used a level to make sure the pipe was plumb. Then I used quick set cement from the hardware The pole was tight in 5 minutes as advertised. I then made a 11" x 22" form, leveled that and used high strength cement to build a cement base around the base of the pole. Any fool that wants to use their car to hit this post will have some bumper damage in return.

The pad I made will eliminate any need to trim grass around the post. My riding mower now clears the mailbox easily. Finally I attached the mailbox and the decorative pieces around the base of the pole. I changed all the hardware and used stainless instead. for the base, I used special screws that require an Allen wrench (vs the Phillips provided)to slow anyone down who wants to make off with the decorative pieces.

Think this is a solid mailbox and in my eyes the best looking one in the neighborhood with a large capacity to hold a weeks worth of mail or more depending. I now don't worry when I leave for vacation. Don't have to tell the neighbors to get my mail. I would have given it 5 stars, but I was unaware that the key opening is in the back of the box and there's no place to leave mail to go out, so I need to get behind it to retrieve the mail which is on a dirt area and I need to get to a mailbox for outgoing mail....oh well....auto bill pay is the way to go anyway.
