We had a problem mailbox location on a ditch, at the edge of the pavement, with a steep bank behind. We have lost mailboxes from being hit, breaking the post and denting the mailbox. We have also had problems with the post tilting due to the water in the ditch. This swing-away system looks like it is working! We were able to set the post into the bank across the ditch because the arm is long and the 24 in extension gave us the extra height we needed. Only time will tell how it holds up to being hit! It was as easy as the video showed to install. We are very pleased!

It has saved me probably 2 mailboxes by now. With distracted drivers, the snow plow, and jerks that play mailbox baseball, I was going through mailboxes every 2 years or less. It looks nice and performs great!

Was easy to install and set up. Missing good mounting for a mailbox though. Bolts to hold a piece of wood to mount mailbox to where too short. Had to countersink them hald way through a 2 by 6. Pole also took a bit to find ground solid enough that it feels sturdy.

Over the past 30+ years of fixing, repairing and replacing my mailbox which seemed to be damaged with every snowstorm. The town plows bulldoze them at least 3 times per winter usually it’s a simple but an annoying repair. It’s the same all over my neighborhood where a pressure treated post is the most popular setup. With this SwingClear system the post is driven into the ground 54” from the road keeping it clear from plow damage 2 storms since I installed it no problems at all. If the box itself is hit it can swing out of the way and gravity should take it back to its original position. It cost me a bit more than the old system but installation was easy just using a small sledge hammer. No need to waste a few hours digging a hole in frozen ground and mixing cement.

LOVE this!! After losing my mailbox to the plow driver several time last winter, I was fed up and looking for an alternative that was easy to assemble, to put up and also affordable. I looked elsewhere and saw several makers who offered pretty much the same thing for about twice as much; then I found this one. This unit is very good quality, and super easy to put together and erect. I have no talent at things of this nature, and if I can so it, pretty much anyone can (-: The most difficult part was driving in the bottom piece without help ( because it's hard to handle a maul, a board and keep the piece upright at the same time...so having an extra set of hands would be helpful at that point...but I got it done!) That said, if you have hard ground, it will be worth your time to either soak the site well a few days in advance to soften up the ground, or to drive in a T-post a little ways to make a "guide hole" so that the bottom piece will stand on it's own while you pound it in. ( I did both) So now, for a change, I hope to have a winter where I actually have a standing mailbox all winter. Update 10/23....I just bought a second one of these for my new place, also out in the country in a snowy state. The mailbox that was there was wiped out by a snowplow, so clearly I'll need one of these at the new place too.
