1 Pack Adjustable Post Sleeve - Fits 4x4, 4x6 & 6x6 Wood Posts - Ideal for Repair & Protection - Sturdy and Durable Stainless Steel for Long-Lasting Use

Grrrr. My mailbox post is a 4x6. It’s almost impossible to find post weed-eater protectors for this size. Most everything comes in 4x4” or 6x6”. I did find a nice plastic one that you can order sets of two so I ordered two 4” and two 6”. Unfortunately their ordering information page was incorrect so every time I ordered 4x6 I received 6x4. THREE TIMES they sent me the wrong ones. Apparently they don’t read the notes you send when you return an item….Anyway I found these and since they are adjustable I thought I’d give them a try. My mailbox post was quite chewed up from the weed whacker. You can see the mangled wood (after I painted it) in the one photo. These were easy to put on and you can see the 4” side looks great! The 6” side doesn’t look as well for two reasons: 1. There was a yellow jacket nest in the ground next to it so I hurried and it’s a lil bit crooked. 2. You can see the light colored wood through the slots in the metal. I’m going to hit the slots with black paint in the morning. Overall these are nicely made and very adjustable. I’ll be thrilled if they protect my post and don’t rust.

What I received is two right angle brackets that have a slotted channels to allow some adjustment and to put screws in. Given that these are used to "mend" heavy duty posts, the metal was very thin. And, the cost is rather high for right angle brackets. Not recommended.
