4x4 Rust-Free, Adjustable Trimmer Guard for Mailbox Post Protection

Works perfectly to protect our wooden mailbox post from the weed-whacker when trimming the grass. I like that it's adjustable since our post was a kind of strange size. Screws were included and went in easily.

This was easy to install. It's not a seamless design but I think it'll work just fine for a long time. Not a bad price for the product. It truly is just four pieces of aluminum bent at 90° with holes punched. It's cheaper than I could make it in a timely manner. Good deal!

Good quality and easy assembly with self-tapping screws. Would have been perfect with a little more height.

I used this to protect a 4x4 post...that was not a mailbox. It was an end post on the bottom of some deck stairs, almost exactly 4x4 square. The lawn guys were hard on that post because it meets the ground and there's little to no margin around it. I used some JB Weld wood epoxy to fill in and stabilize the very bottom of the post, and used 2 of the 4 brackets to wrap around the sides of the post that were exposed. It worked out very well. Self-tapping screws are included and the aluminum on the brackets is relatively thick, but pliable enough to still be tapped with no pre-drilling from the provided screws. Very adjustable, which was key in my case to compensate for some variation due to the epoxy filler. Accepted opaque deck paint well so it's now essentially invisible. I expect it will last a long time.

It takes just a few minutes to install these and they protect the wood mailbox post from my lawnmower sliding across it and the string trimmer whacking it and they lend a professional appearance to my yardwork. Don't be afraid to do it yourself. I installed a few weeks ago and I don't worry about banging up against my post any longer.

My landscaper would run into the corner of my wood fence posts with riding mower or with line trimmer. This occurred only during ingress or egress from my gated yard. I bought this to protect the lower portion of my fence posts at the corners. I stained the fence and posts so the shiny finish is almost invisible. Works great!

Wish the plates were taller to protect little more of post. Fairly easy to install, could be better self taping screws as I had issues with them. Overpriced for what it is.

Fits rough sawn 4x4s thanks to a good design. This is, however, something that you can make yourself for just a few dollars if you have an hour or two of free time and a nonferrous metal blade on your sliding miter saw. No fault on the seller, still a quality product that is well thought out.
