I love the post but where I live, that would last about 2 minutes before someone would destroy it.

My favorite spotted DIY mailbox was a stack of bowling balls drilled out and slipped over the post. it must have been 1/2 dozen or more multicolored balls.

It seemed to last through many seasons, which in an area where snow plows have to carry a stash of extra boxes for all the ones they mow down is no small feat.
