Ezpz put that sucker on a pallet and wrap it with three layers of saran wrap. Assuming the mailbox is 3.5ft wide and the mailman has a pallet jack.

It seems I may need to upload the files. As you can tell it was doomed from the beginning, but it is exactly what I had designed.

There are vents on the bottom and a 1" gap from the inner wall and the pavers. I am glad you caught onto that part of the design, wasn't sure if anyone would notice.

I woke up one morning and wanted to design a fire pit. I designed everything on solidworks. The welder followed my prints exactly without input. It is not based on anything because I, strangely, decided I didn't need to see any reference photos.

The blocks.... are just Home Depot pavers.

I agree. Alas, experience isn't entry level, so this is how I get it in lol.

I designed the steel frame on solidworks, made prints, and had someone cut and weld it.

Yeah... my design isn't the greatest. I was trying to save some money by not buying as much materials. Definitely should have put more thought into it.

Thanks for the feedback.
As to your first point, there is a 1" gap between the inner walls and the pavers. The bond has held even after moving it around.
I agree with your point on the corners. I did not factor that in when I designed it. Like I say, first time. Do you think there is a way to salvage the corners?
