Heavy Built Mailboxes that are Rugged and Stylish

Stop Having to Regularly Replace your Mailbox due to Vandals with a Heavy Built Mailbox

By: Mark J. Donovan

 

If your mailbox has the propensity to get hit by errant objects such as baseball bats and snowplow blades and even waves of snow you may want to consider installing a heavy built mailbox. Yes there are rugged yet stylish mailbox alternatives that can hold up better to vandals than your standard $10 metal mailbox. So why live with either a beat up mailbox or having to go out every few months and install a new one. Heavy built mailboxes are specifically designed of strong materials and of high quality to be resilient to vandals and extreme weather conditions.

They also typically come with warranties not found with standard mailboxes. Moreover, they are also designed so that they are aesthetically attractive and meet the approval of the United States Postal Service.

A heavy built mailbox is different than a vandal resistant mailbox. A vandal resistant mailbox is specifically designed to prevent damage and theft from vandals. Consequently they are very expensive, and to be honest neither look that attractive or actually offer any greater protection, if a vandal is absolutely intent on destroying your mailbox.

 

 

A heavy constructed mailbox, on the other hand is simply a sturdier built mailbox that is designed to hold up better to the one-off incident where someone drives by and gives it a swing with a baseball bat. Consequently a heavy built mailbox is less expensive than a vandal resistant mailbox and typically looks more common in appearance. They are often designed with attractive finishes and decorative looks, unlike a vandal resistant one.

So if you don’t want to spend your weekends installing or repairing mailboxes due to vandals constantly damaging your mailbox by throwing bricks at it, hitting it with a baseball bat or exploding M80 firecrackers in it, I suggest installing a heavy built mailbox.

These types of mailboxes are extremely durable, have a multi-step paint job, and often come with lifetime warranties. They’re also reasonably priced and overall the best solution for dealing with the vandals and weather elements. You can buy heavy duty built mailboxes on line or at home improvement stores and they come in a variety of styles and colors to satisfy even the most discriminating customer.
