Fortified mailboxes, part 2
Fortified mailboxes, part 2
09/06/2004 09:30 PM
Mark Frauenfelder:
I received a bunch of great email about my
fortified mailbox entry. If you have pics of a vandal-resistant
mailbox,
email me!
Number42 sez: This one is my favorite
mailbox of all time...
Nicholas sez: I don’t have any photos, but I
have a suggestion. My mother kept on
getting her mailbox hit in by someone driving by with a baseball bat
or
similar object. To punish future bashers, I dug a good sized hole, and
planted a thick metal pole in it. After that set, I made a hole in the
bottom of the mailbox large enough so that the pole would fit in. I
put
the mailbox on top of it, and then using more cement, filled up the
back
of the mailbox with the cement, attaching the pole to the inside of
the
mailbox. Make sure the pole goes into the back half of the mailbox, as
to
still be able to get mail. This secures the mailbox the mailbox to the
pole, and from the outside, looks like every other mailbox, but if
someone
hits it with anything, their hands will sting for a while, and the box
should stay intact.
John Wilson sez: I remember seeing an article
in a magazine (popular mechanics?) about
4 or 5 years ago about a guy who went through three mailboxes in quick
succession. He was a welder, so he bought one of those great big
mailboxes, and modded it by replacing the sides and bottom with 1/2
inch thick steel, and the top with a section of 1/4 inch steel pipe
cut in half. Mounted it on a big-ass pole, deep hole, lots of
concrete, etc.
Couple days later he found a half broken baseball bat at the foot
of
the mailbox. Not a dent in the box itself..
I googled and found a lot of messages in welder mailing lists of
guys
doing similar projects. Another guy suggested putting down tire
spikes, or have some sharp, rusty metal scrap "accidently" fall out of
the back of the truck, near the approach path to the mailbox.
Googling for "welded mailbox" only brought up this
though
Pancho Cole sez: I don't have a good
picture, but I suspended my mailbox from an overhead
post using chains so that it was hard to do damage to it - the mailbox
just
moves when a bat or a snowplow hit it.
Then there is this approach: http://www.steelmailbox.com/ and
http://www.fortknoxmailbox.com/home.htm
the trick is to make your tough mailbx look "vanilla" - when they hit
it
with a bat you get the satisfaction of hearing them scream as the
shock
goes all the way up their arms. Of course you need a tough post to put
it
on, some local kids borrowed their parents Hummer and went around
driving
over mailboxes, they would have got away with it except they got stuck
in a
ditch behind one mailbox. I suggest a steel post filled with concrete,
buried at least 3 feet and hopefully with a concrete footer poured
around it.
Dave Hurley sez: Here is a link to a
mailbox that the venerable Norm Abram of the "New
yankee Workshop" built on his PBS show some time back. I'm not
sure
if fits in the category of "brick shithouse," but it certainly looked
stout enough on the show and it has the added benefit of being
good-looking to boot. I don't know about you, but I think
building
one from NYW would be fun and it would certainly have a certain
caché.
Nick Papadakis sez: Don't make the mailbox *look*
fortified. Just fill it with
cement, and put it on a spindly ole pole so it looks naked and
vulnerable. With any luck, they'll break an arm ...
Eric Thorsen sez: As a test: if the mailbox
survived a hit the pebbles would get knocked off. Or maybe someone is
buried in it...
Michael Green sez: How typical that people
would overlook the fun they could have with this and instead go for
the brut-force approach. I have a buddy who lived in a similar area
and, after losing two mailboxes in one week, went for the
“Q-Ship” approach. He found the most noticeable, but
flimsy looking, mailbox available, painted it day-glo orange, filled
it with cement, and mounted it at radiator level. Fortunately no
one was killed, but he did manage to demolish the engine compartment
of a Ford F150 pickup that tried to take it out later that
evening. He never had another problem after that.
Alan Macdougall sez: could the pebbles be the
markers of door to door itinerants? In the area
of rural New Zealand where I grew up, a small stone on the mailbox was
sometimes used by the Jehovah's witnesses to mark out which houses
they'd
visited. So a kid's small prank was to remove these and cause the
house to
be visited more than once, much to the annoyance of the inhabitants.
jeremy hunsinger sez:
just steel on a 4x4 post, like the
se.
you want a wood post because it is safer in case you run into it
yourself, you want it to break if you hit it with a car. to make
the
post, get a 5 gallon pail, fill it with a plastic bag, pour it 2/3
full
of concrete then sit the post in the concrete and let it set up, then
sink the concrete about 2 inches underground, so only the post is
sticking out, and put the rolled steel mailbox on top of it.
then...
tell your neighbors, once a few neighbors have these, it ruins the
whole mailbox baseball sport.
David Friedman sez:
While those homebrew solutions are nice, check out the Fort Knox Mailbox.
Their website comes complete with confusing rollovers, a promise to
be "The
Last Mailbox You Will Ever Need to Buy!" and even a gallery
of ugly
mailboxes.
According to the FAQ, the 1/4" thick steel mailboxes ("Most
skyscrapers and
bridges are made of the same material") can withstand:
Baseball bat = Definitely!
Pumpkin = Pumpkin Pie!
Sledge Hammer = Sure thing!
Rock / Boulder = Boing!
M-80 (explosive) = A 1/4 stick of dynamite has been tested with no
phase to
the mailbox. It is equivalent of the force of four average M-80 bombs
together at once. Your mail will be ashes, but they won't steal it!
Dump Truck = Pulled the mailbox out of the ground in 180 pounds of
concrete
& dragged it down the street for about 100 ft. A little exterior
paint
patching and it was back to work the next day receiving mail.
28 Ton Boom Truck = Let's just say there was more damage to the
boom truck!
James Goggin sez: Why don't you just dig a
hole, put a large metal casing in the ground
with lockable hinged lid, yellow marking around a slot so your postman
knows what to do, and you'll have a mailbox with no further concern
for
structual damage or, indeed, disapperance?
Michael sez:
i saw your entry on boingboing.
i am looking for information on a mailbox that i think i saw on the
hdtv network.
when vandals hit it with a baseball bat a spiked probe locks into
the bat, also two vials of liquid release and spray the vandal. the
first vial has a phosphor paint, the second vial has a very strong
skunk odor.
if someone happens to email you about this mailbox, could you please
forward the info to me.
clifford
hedin sez: This is a mailbox my dad put in about twelve
years ago after a few
teenaged bashings and careless drivers. He made it out of four
railroad ties, the 8 x 12 pieces of wood they lay down to support
railroad tracks. Those are tied together with several metal straps
hidden by some decorative rope. The whole thing got buried in the
ground about four feet. The original box is embedded inside. A few
years after he put it in, the road was repaved. That added a few
inches to the road height, so we attached a new mailbox to the outside
to appease the complaining mailman. The only time I can remember
anything happening to it, a car hit it and ran off. The impact tilted
it about four inches, not such a big deal to fix. I'm sure the
car
had a bigger problem than we did.
Joe Schneider sez:
There's an interesting mailbox on my commute work.
It appears that the homeowner had some problems in the past, as
they
used what appears to be a 4-5 inch "I" Beam, which I can only assume
is sunk more than a few feet down. Painted on the side is "HIT
ME."
As I thought about it, it's a hell of an idea, and would do major
damage to anyone who hits it. I just wonder if it's legal, as
anyone
hitting it is going to have some serious problems.
Anyway, i'll get ya the pics as soon as I get a chance.
dfghdfgh sdfg sez:
The brick shithouse can survivae a car based attack,
but not pedestrians. It is usually quite fragile. A
6' 180 lb person can easily separate the brick 'house'
from it's concrete foundation. Once separated, the
center of gravity is high enough it can easily be
rocked back and forth until it topples.
take it from one who knows...

How does IKEA import carpets from Iran?
How does IKEA import carpets from Iran?
03/17/2005 03:24 AMThe only thing that attracts more New England women than a Larry
Summers hatred rally is the IKEA furniture store in New Haven,
Connecticut. Inner minivan harmony was achieved by stopping
there on the way back from New York City last night. In ancient
times I ran a small company and hired an architect to set up our new
building. He chose systems furniture (cubicles) that cost
$3000 per employee. When delivered the desktops were so shallow
that they couldn't hold a 20" CRT monitor. One of our customers
had a similar big open office. They bought each employee a desk
and a table from IKEA for $300-ish. Their office looked a lot
better and was more functional with more work surface per
employee.
One thing that struck me as odd about IKEA: many of the carpets for
sale there are labeled as being from "central Persia" or "east Persia"
and smaller tags say "Land: Iran". IKEA is importing carpets
from Iran! How do they do this? My impression was that
we had a trade embargo against Cuba, Iran, and North Korea.
[Within about six months Bostonians won't have to drive to New
Haven for their complete-with-plumbing-and-appliances $2000
kitchens. IKEA is opening a store in Stoughton. It is
unclear why they didn't pick sales tax-free Nashua. Maybe
Scandinavians aren't comfortable unless they are being sufficiently
taxed. IKEA tried to open a store in the Assembly Square
slum/highway area of Somerville but various community groups objected
(this is one reason that residential property taxes in Somerville are
about 2X as high as in Cambridge; there are few business
taxpayers). Meanwhile, Somerville thrives on conceptual art
projects.]
