can it be used to repare a mail box post that was brocken by a snowplow.

I believe that it could be used to repair a mailbox post IF you can remove the portion of the post from the ground and support the two post pieces while the tape is hardening. I'd recommend using the 4" tape for this job.

Unfortunately, no. I did not find this to be heavy duty. It did rip with the first usage due to ice and snow accumulation. And I was as gentle I as could be trying to remove it after removing as much snow from it as I was able to.

Not cleanly. You will need to build up the end of the post as they are designed to fit over a plastic covered post. Worst of all, they are shipped from Canada and if you want to return them the postage costs $135.

I backed into the mailbox last winter it was about 10 degrees out and it shattered the thin plastic next to the post that was the problem I had. Don't know if it would hold up to the bashers in real cold weather or not.

No. The post is metal. It was part if the hole set. The screws will be to short with a wooden post.

The height requirement varies depending on where you are. You only have to get a post long enough to get the box at the required height. Nothing else is required (except the post) to mount it. It can survive harsh winters since a heavy berm thrown up by a plow will merely knock the box off the mount. Dig it out of the ditch and put it back on, or in anticipation of heavy snow, take the box off until the plows have gone by. It just slide on and off from the front.

Yes it does, it even survives snow plows if not set too close to the road. We live on a major 2 lane highway and it has survived everything that can happen. One note, we did not "secure" it to the post for a reason, when the big snow plow comes through it simply turns the mailbox slightly to the right with no damage, our neighbor secured hers and it had been damaged by the big snow plow. She replaced hers and set it up the same way ours is and it survived the winter with no damage.

Yes, but it will be twisted, but don't think you can't use it. Out here in the country a lot of people just leave their mailboxes disfigured after somebody tries to destroy them, I think because the owners just get tired of replacing them. The postal service still puts mail in them, but the mail gets wet when it rains. Hope this helps.

No it will not fit over a post. This works with Liberty Hardware's APANCHR-HSG-U Vortex Mailbox Ground Anchor

Yes, absolutely - otherwise it will be wobbly.It put mine up years ago and the post is still sturdy. The slow plow has taken out the cross arm and mailbox, but the post remains secure. I bought a second kit to get a new cross arm. The new post cover part is still in the box in my garage rafters, just in case.

I can't specifically answer your questions but I can tell you that a heavy snow plough pick up truck fell off my driveway and down a gentle grade and I used them to get him out in about 8 minutes. The truck broke the locking ends but I think some heavy gauge wire should be able to do the same job, maybe even better.

That is exactly what I did. I had an existing wooden post that was in rough shape and the arm was falling off of. I sawed of the post below the arm and put this mailbox over it.

The mailbox does not fit over the post. It attaches 'via the bracket that come with the mailbox.

I don't know. You might ask the owners. My mailbox is metal. I suspect it would.

I installed the same mailbox last year. It will not fit the post you have. Your local lowes or home depot sales the kit that fix it perfect. Just pour a little concrete in the bottom of the hole once the post is in place.

A 4x4 would fit in the lower portion of the post but not the upper portion. Even if the upper portion was wide enough the bolts used to secure the mailbox protrude into the interior of the post and would block the 4x4. You will need to remove the post from your current mailbox.

My assumption is yes. You might have to buy some insulation foam from your local hardware store to add in extra padding around the part that wraps around the post, but I don't see why that wouldn't be possible.
