Here is what I did for the mailbox post. Took a 4"x 4" x 10' and cut it in half. Rounded the top cut end of one of the five foot pieces. Measured up 4 foot on that post and cut a groove half way through the thickness of the post. The width of the 4" x 4" and cut a piece three foot long off the other five foot piece at a 45 degree angle and cut a groove to match the first groove on the five foot post. Tap the two pieces together and secured them with screw. Cut a 45 degree angle on the remaining two foot piece and braced up the cross piece with it . Bought a 4" x 4" ground bracket. Pound it into the ground and took the post and placed it into the bracket and tighten the nut to secure the 5 foot post and attached the mailbox to the cross piece and it been there now for three years. When the snowplow hit it this year, all I had to do was reset the post into the metal bracket and secure it with the nut.
