Is this mailbox strong enough to withstand a disgruntled plow driver doing 90 MPH?

It is a solid construction and poured concrete base. It probably would not stop a plow. But really hardly any of them in this price point would. For some reason, snowflakes find their way into the closed mailbox. It's a nice mailbox.

Sadly, no. Nor will it withstand a F250's side mirror at 10mph. But, it sure is pretty.

No! And their quality is not there. The Chinese worker that built was drunk! The mailbox sits on a platform and is croaked! So I wouldn't worry about plow, it may straighten it out! BkK

the mailbox has been powered coated inside and outside. it is not water or air tight, but I have had no problems from the wind and the rain. You will need the box and post, but you don't need the spreader plate, unless you are wanting to set two mailboxes on the same post.

I installed this mailbox in Mililani (central O'ahu) and it's quite rugged. Although the temperature never really varies between the low 80's and the low 70's, we do get very heavy rains, gusty winds filled with salt air, blazing sunlight, and pesky Mynah birds that perch themselves on it's "rooftop." Through it all, it looks as clean and sturdy as the day I pulled it out of the box.

The Z shaped shank is extremely strong, I traveled from Philadelphia to Georgia then Florida with more than 350 LBS loaded on it. It withstood hurricane winds and rain. I recommend this item for any hitch.

Yes, It is very sturdy, I only added weight so I could free stand it in the back of a van. (plus keep it from being knocked over in the garage.)

It's pretty strong I would have no fears of putting a 75lbs child in it. But then again that might be fairly old for a child with a wagon.

I have had this up for about 2 yrs. It is mounted on the front of my house and subjected to all weather conditions. There is not rust anywhere. Love this mailbox!

This box isn't heavy; I screwed it directly to the siding on my porch. I wouldn't put it where it can get wet. (FYI - I've gotten compliments on it; plus it holds much more than the typical mailbox.)

Definitely. It could withstand anything except something like a huge drop or being run over by a car.

kimdon't know for sure but know it held up under a full wheelbarrow of 2 50 lb bags of top soil. would definitely hold up on a payload of at least 100 lbs.hope that helps.

I am not sure...my mailbox is metal....but so far it is sticking and holding up well after several months.

The mailbox is exceptional quality with high quality steel and strength but the post does not begin to match the strength of the box. I would get a 4x4 post from a local welding shop while you get the custom bracket made. And have them powder coated to match the box

I'd run a strip of tape or a strap around the box, just for insurance, because it's possible the handle/lock could be hit and lifted up. The box itself will survive nearly anything!

I would be concerned that the pvc would not hold up in high winds. Mount would not have an issue.

It will definitely be strong enough. It supports two 80ish pound Labradors in my Silverado on long road trips with no worries.

Yes. It is strong enough, but would require an extension rail. Chamberlain 8808CB 8-Feet Belt Drive Extension Kit. Amazon carries it.

It's not the strongest thing in the world, and it has near zero ground clearance. It's best for holding big boxes of light stuff over smooth streets. If you want to go over rough surfaces, definitely get something with bigger wheels and more ground clearance.
