Review on πŸ“ͺ Gibraltar Decorative Medium Capacity Galvanized Steel Black Mailbox & Post Combo, T11KIT0B by Brian Trotter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

This is the first time I'm setting up a mailbox.

What a job. I didn't know our soil was so rocky and so grave-proof. Screw Tip: They were easier to tighten by holding the hex side with pliers and fully tightening them with a screwdriver. The neighbors have strong wooden poles so I'm hoping this will hold up. On the other hand, it looks way better than all those bulky wooden shelves. The only downside is that the lid is quite tight and I couldn't figure out how to adjust it according to the instructions. Did my postman bother me leaving my mail, so maybe it's not that big of a deal? Update Dec 2019: 1.5 years later and it's still holding up. It slopes slightly towards the road, as it is constantly being pulled in that direction, and the posts are buried relatively flat. In any case, he won't fall any time soon.
