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

Easy install, does the job

I was tired of chipping up the paint around my mailbox post when weedeating the grass around the bottom of it. These guards work perfectly and makes my mailbox look great. I would definitely recommend them.

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

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!

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.

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.

Overall product is good quality but the screws are very poor quality. 2 of the 8 self tapping/drilling screws stripped out the Phillips head during mounting.

Buy it! Easy install (I’m a novice DIYer) No guess work, no frustration, no whacked up post! Perfect solution for an annoying problem!
