How Do I Vandal Proof My Mailbox

A vandal proof mailbox should be securely placed in the ground with either an In-Ground or Surface Mount Steel Mounting Post, and then secured with concrete or heavy-duty mounting bolts.

Is it illegal to make your mailbox indestructible?

The answer is no. You don’t owe a duty of care to someone to pad your mailbox so it is soft for them when they maliciously try to destroy it.

How do you reinforce a mailbox?

Choose firm materials, such as rocks, cut-down cedar shingles, or even mixing concrete. Using a level, move the post so that it is straight up and down. Wedge materials next to the post to fill the gaps, ensuring the post stays straight. Once secure, pour sand inside the hole to fill any remaining gaps.
