The second pipe has a first pipe portion having a lower end which is adapted to be journaled to the upper end of the first pipe, the first pipe portion being adapted to extend generally upwardly from the upper end of the first pipe to a first elbow, a second pipe portion extending laterally outwardly from the first elbow in a generally horizontal direction generally laterally outwardly from the first pipe portion to an outer second elbow, and a third pipe portion extending laterally to the side from the second elbow and the second pipe portion to a third elbow, and a fourth pipe portion extending angularly from the third elbow in a direction toward the second pipe portion. The third elbow and the fourth pipe portion form a protective shield for protecting the mailbox. At least the second pipe portion provides a support for mounting a mailbox.
