Will this mailbox hold up to snow plows? I live right on the edge of town, so they are typically traveling ~35-45 mph.

This box is a pretty heavy duty. If you have it on a strong base it should be fine.

I would say yes. The snow plow here put a big crack in the post but the mailbox itself was fine.

The box is heaver than most and unless hit by the plow it should be able to take the punishment. It really does depend on how the base is constructed

While I live in Michigan and don't see extreme temperatures, there have been many reviews on this mail box that indicate it will fade in the sun. I would invite you to do a search on the mail box you're looking for in a warmer climate these reviews may be more suitable for the climate/environment you plan on using it in. We purchased it for the storage capability (which is the best we've found) it has if you travel a lot an need the mail storage instead of coming home to a box jammed with junk mail.

This mailbox is much more durable than my previous metal one. We too have mailbox bashers...also snowplows that occasionally go off course. I will know more after this winter.

We just got ours 2 weeks ago, but were very pleased with how sturdy it is, I think it will hold up for years to come. And yes I think it would handle the snow no problem. It's also very spacious for a 2 to 4 bird coop, we are very impressed with the house.

I've had this box for several years. I live in northern Wisconsin, where we get more than 125" of snow annually. The box gets abuse from the weather and the snowplows that brush it when they come by. I've had no problems with the box or the flag.

If you put it under a covered area it might be OK but . . . the slot is ON TOP so any rain or insects might get in it. It does not seem like it would hold up well to be outside (made of steel that seems like it could rust and not real heavy duty), although it might be OK in a covered area (but again, bugs?). I have mine just inside the apartment primary entrance where the mailboxes are located so not outside.

It is pretty sturdy all right, but uncertain about snow load. You would need to ask the company about that. I have kept mine up all year with rain and wind and no damage. I love Coolaroo.

I'd say you will have no problem. I'm in Chicago, and last winter was absolutely terrible. I have 2 of these and they survived just fine. Mine are in a corner protected from wind however

Though we have not done so, I would expect keeping it outside would be fine. Ours has travelled many hundreds of miles in the back of the truck; rain, snow, etc. It has held up well. We have had no problems with rust.

Our backyard is protected by a fence. There have been winds of perhaps 50 mph and the entire structure is still standing, no damage. We have experienced over 3 ft of snow and it continues to be intact. In a few weeks we hope to be able to get out in the back yard and start enjoying it again. The kids used it this winter to jump off of into the snow. Very happy with our investment

Mine has done well in rain and snow. bought a second one for the walkway. Both are hung on garden stakes so no protection from the elements.

The supports are close together so the snow should not be a problem. The first ShelterLogic I had lasted for 5 years then started getting holes in it.

So far it is totally water resistant.Annual rainfall in my area is around 70" and it has rained quite a bit since I installed the mailbox. I haven't found any moisture inside the box.

This box isn't heavy; I screwed it directly to the siding on my porch. I wouldn't put it where it can get wet. (FYI - I've gotten compliments on it; plus it holds much more than the typical mailbox.)

it all depends, they seem quite durable...I have a few lining a driveway, but can't say i've driven over them.

It holds up fine as long as you scrape the heavy snow off it. That is until the material degrades which in my case only took a few years.

I have had my mighty mule covered in snow several times with no problems. This is the best driveway alert system I've ever owned... and I've owned several.
