Some of us old welders who have suffered the teen sport of mailbox bashing like to make them out of 8" [20 cm?] steel pipe and deep channel iron. Painted with aluminium paint they look very realistic in the dark until the little vandals hit them with a baseball bat. It makes them vibrate all the way back to town. Bugs

Hmmm... interesting project. I tried looking for patterns on the web with no luck. I assume you are talking about the rounded top square bottom rectangular base type.
I have seen them made either with rolled seams or welded seams.
Might be cheaper to order one and then measure it.

--What he said. There was a loooong thread here some time back about what constitutes an adequate mailbox in hostile territory, heh.
