Will this mailbox withstand people hitting it with a baseball bat?

No, it is reasonably strong, but not indestructible. If someone is determined to destroy it, he will find a way.

Seriously??? Did you not read the description of this "wonderful" product? It is made of military grade aluminum alloy; and believe me, I don't think you or anyone else would want to take a hit from it. As to "will it break if used like a bat", don't know as I have not tried it in that capacity. I have no doubt that it can do serious bodily injury if used properly and probably break a window(s) if needed. My sister and two friends now own a Barbarian after seeing mine.

Shouldn't be a problem. There are two wood screws, one at the top and one at the bottom. Easily installed this on my mailbox post.

Yes! This is the very reason I bought this. Older type of construction with metal flag and the upper and lower metal latch. Nothing cheap about this mailbox!

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.

The post is made to attach a standard size mailbox. This pounds pretty standard so shd hold it. The problem would be screwing it into the braces to hold box in place if it's too wide to fit snugly against the braces.

It is a solid construction and poured concrete base. It probably would not stop a plow. But really hardly any of them in this price point would. For some reason, snowflakes find their way into the closed mailbox. It's a nice mailbox.

I've sat mine on a bed of loose pavers, it's not at all perfectly flat and the box turns out to be ideal for it as the plastic components are fairly flexible whist the whole thing has remained rain proof. A good buy.

NO it will not, only a standard mail box BUT it is a great product. I had tried several other solutions and this is the best ever. Good quality product.

My mailbox has nine predrilled holes at various heights and widths. Two rows of two holes and one row of five. Any two should hold the mailbox as securely as the material you attach it to. You may need washers or spacers.

I would say it will definitely hold up unless you are throwing things on it abusively. Its Aluminum and plastic, but well put together

It completely would depend on the size and how sturdy the gate is. The mailbox is heavy and would need a stout mounting post

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.

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.

Yes, this Mailbox does survive winter weather, cold, wind and rain. My Master mail box is just asbeautiful as when I bought it. I love it ! I bought this Mailbox in the winter.

I don't think any mailbox can be completely weatherproof and still allow the mailman to open it every day. It depends on where you place the mailbox, and how quickly you retrieve the mail.

It's more of a decoration peice. You could probably swing it lightly but any vigorous motions will probably result in damage.
