Six-Mailbox Rebuild

Project · Upper Marlboro, Maryland

Six-Mailbox Support Rebuild After RV Impact

A roadside mailbox structure serving six mailboxes was destroyed after being struck by an RV. The replacement was rebuilt from solid pressure-treated lumber and anchored with a deep concrete foundation.

Before and after

Original structure destroyed. Rebuilt to carry six.

The original wood support was knocked over and heavily damaged. It carried six individual mailboxes, so the replacement needed a long, rigid horizontal span and strong roadside anchoring.

  • A destroyed roadside wooden support for six mailboxes, knocked over after an RV struck it.
    Before: the original six-mailbox support after the RV impact, Upper Marlboro, MD.
  • The rebuilt pressure-treated support carrying six mailboxes on two posts.
    After: the rebuilt support on two posts, each in its own concrete footing, Upper Marlboro, MD.

Rebuild scope

Removed, rebuilt, set in concrete.

  • Removed and assessed the damaged support

  • Rebuilt the structure using solid pressure-treated lumber

  • Dug replacement supports approximately 3 feet deep

  • Set the support in a concrete foundation

  • Built the frame to carry six mailboxes

Finished result: the rebuilt support uses two pressure-treated posts, each set approximately 3 feet deep in its own concrete footing. The damaged original structure was removed completely before rebuilding. Comparable rebuilds would normally be scoped as roughly 1 to 2 working days of field labor, excluding concrete cure time and unusual site conditions.
