Custom Mailboxes
Custom mailboxes offer a unique opportunity to express your hobbies, tastes and unique decorative style.
Not only do custom mailboxes add personality to your home, they also offer such functional options as locking doors, durable tamper-proof materials and extra-large capacities.
To further customize your mailbox you can also add your name, address or decorative accessory, such as an ornamental mailbox topper.
When choosing what type of mailboxes will best fit your needs and home decor you should consider the following:
1. Do you wish to display your family name or street address on your mailbox?
2. Would you rather have a wall-mounted or post-mounted
mailbox
?
3. Do you receive a lot of oversized mail? Or do you receive mail in bulk?
4. Do you require a mailbox with extra security?
5. Do you want your mailbox to serve a decorative, as well as a functional purpose?
Once you have a clear idea about what you're looking for in a mailbox, you'll want to consider the two most common mailbox styles.
Wall Mounted
wall-mounted
mailboxes
are available in a variety of materials and styles and can be ordered in both locking and non-locking versions. From recycled aluminum to brass to heavy gauge stainless steel, you'll want to find a mailbox that will complement your home, as well as stand up to whatever weather and security concerns you may have.
One advantage to a wall-mounted
mailboxes
is that your mail will stay close to home - meaning no long walks in poor weather to retrieve your letters and packages. There is also the added security of having your mailbox attached securely to your home's outer wall, rather than a Post-mounted
mailbox
Post Mounted
Like their wall mounted counterparts, post mounted mailboxes are available in a wide selection of materials and styles. Both locking and non-locking versions are also readily available.
When choosing a post mounted mailbox, you'll want to consider material, as well as size. For example
Whitehall, a leader in home accents for over 60 years, has created The Executive, an extremely durable, die-cast aluminum post mounted mailbox that offers a 20 percent larger capacity than average mailboxes. A mailbox of this size will allow your magazines and large envelopes to lay flat, as well as giving you ample opportunity to display your name, address and even a decorative mailbox topper.
Another plus: Post mounted mailboxes, often placed near the street or at the end of a driveway, are an easy way to instantly enhance your home's curb appeal.
Whether you choose aluminum or steel, locking or non-locking post mounted mailbox, you should also consider what type of post will work with your yard, driveway or sidewalk area. Most post mounted mailboxes are offered with a variety of posts options. Check with the manufacturer for further details.
Other Considerations
Whether you're looking for a post mounted or a wall-mounted mailbox, certain features make some mailboxes preferable to others. One of these features is rust and weather resistance. Your mailbox should be made of a rust-resistant material, such as rust-free steel or aluminum, for long-life and optimum performance. If painted or treated with a special finish, that finish should also be weather and rust resistant.
Customizing Your Mailbox
Most mailboxes, both post mounted and wall mounted offer a wide variety of customization options. From your name and address displayed in gleaming bronze, to a decorative topper in the shape of a leaping buck, there are many inventive ways to make your mailbox stand out from the rest.
