Mission Mail Box - Verdigris Patina

Post-mount models suit curbside delivery, wall-mount is ideal near doors, and column units integrate into masonry for extra security and style. Choose based on delivery point and site access.

USPS defines small, medium, and large sizes. If you receive small parcels frequently, pick a large or parcel-style box with an oversize door and anti-fish baffle.

Powder‑coated aluminum and stainless steel resist rust; galvanized steel is durable when well coated. For salt air, look for marine‑grade finishes and stainless hardware.

Quality locking designs include anti-pry panels, anti-fish chutes, and cam locks. Verify USPS approval and ensure the slot accommodates your typical mail.

USPS guidance is 41–45 inches from road surface to mailbox floor and 6–8 inches back from the curb. Confirm with your local carrier if roads are crowned.

Set a concrete footing below frost line for posts; use rebar in masonry columns. Ensure plumb alignment and allow cure time before mounting the box.

Yes—reflective address numbers and low‑glare LED accents improve visibility. Confirm power routing and weatherproof wire entries for lights.

Wash with mild soap, avoid abrasives, and touch up chips promptly. Lubricate hinges and locks yearly; wax painted metals to repel salt.

Many HOAs regulate size, color, and placement. Some municipalities require breakaway posts at curbs for safety—check before you pour concrete.

Consider newspaper holders, parcel lockers, post skirts, and rain hoods. Use stainless mounting bolts and thread‑locker to prevent loosening.
