I thought this might ge a good topic that could even lead to some positive results.
What is your favourite letter box design?, is it the one at home , did you find it on the www or was it something you saw passing by & snapped a photo.
Lets see what is around the globe in letter box designs. You never know you might see something you like and adopt it yourself, if anyone is interested that is.
I'll start it off with this one
for those who don't know, these are mailboxes, not letterboxes. lol. Grumpy, I had no idea what this was talking about till I saw the pictures. I hope I set you crazy Australians straight. thanks for an interesting post (get it post?).
Those are all great designs but living in a rural area requires vandal resistant (and theft proof) mail boxes and those would only invite trouble. Mine is made of 1-1/8" plywood designed similar to the USPS "blue" boxes with the drop in opening. Mounted on two 6X8" treated posts planted 4 feet in the ground. The flap opens in the front and the mail drops to the bottom where I can retrieve it through a lockable door in the back. It is about as close to vandal and theft proof as you can get without using steel plate.
