The decorative mailboxes available today are a big improvement on the unattractive mailboxes sold in the past. Materials have improved considerably over the years and today’s newer materials are durable and are available in many colours and finishes. There is sure to be a mailbox design to perfectly suit your home.
A good choice in material is cast aluminium which is extremely durable and high quality and are finished with enamel finishes which are highly coloured and very durable. Many different designs and decorative effects are available and these types of decorative mailboxes will look good for many years.
Another favorite material for decorative mailboxes is copper which gives an attractive finish. With the newer coatings to prevent the copper mailbox from corroding a copper mailbox will keep its good looks for many years. Brass mailboxes are also good choices. Other materials include the traditional wood and steel. Steel is particularly durable and will not corrode easily. Plastic and vinyl mailboxes are also available.
There are many different styles of mailboxes to choose from. The first decision to make is to decide between wall mounted or post mounted. The most convenient is a wall mounted mailbox next to the front door. They look good and it’s easy to collect the mail. However you may have to have a curbside post mounted mailbox to comply with your local post office regulations.
In rural areas or urbam areas where post is delivered by vehicle a post mounted mailbox will be needed. If your mail is delivered on foot you may have the choice of a wall mounted or post mounted box.
