I was very surprised at this, caused by getting too close and the rear end swinging out as I passed by very sturdy mailbox while turning sharp. It's about 6" long by 1/2" tall and all the way thru, best as I can tell...
Funny thing is, I'm very close to a wall going into my backyard and the rear corner has never scraped the wall. So I didn't think the rear swings that much.
Anyway, as a big DIYer, looking for suggestions and assessments of the damage based on this pic. I've already got the metal corner reasonably in place, it was bent back a bit. Also covered area with clear tape just for temporary rain protection.
