We live in a rural area and have a mailbox near the road at the end of our driveway. My hubby has gone through several mailboxes and address signs but when the snow plows come through in the winter they damage and destroy the boxes and especially the address signs. Last time we had to have the box replaced because the snow plow actually hit the mailbox and knocked it down, completely destroying it. The county gave us a new box but it was a really cheap one and it is now rusting and falling apart.
We are thinking that maybe a solid address plaque mounted behind the mailbox might be the best way to come up with something that will last. We need to find a place that makes address plaques that are durable and long lasting. Hopefully we will not have to replace it every other year like in the past.
