| Question: Is using railroad (stone) ballast to set mailbox wood 4x4 post a good idea? Posted: 19 Apr 2015 03:50 PM PDT I think that railroad ballast would be too coarse. For a mailbox post, 3/4 inch gravel, or 3/8 inch gravel, would be much easier to work with. You'd be able to pack it tighter, as well. (The advantage of using gravel instead of concrete is that you can remove it if the post gets damaged. That happens to mailboxes a lot. Concrete is stronger, but you're only holding up a mailbox and post. How strong does it have to be?)  |
