Rural Mailboxes

If a roadside mailbox is required or you'd prefer something more closer to home than a post office box, a rural mailbox will offer the sturdy construction and convenience you've been hoping for.

Sturdy construction
Built of materials like aluminum, galvanized steel, or sturdy plastic, rural mailboxes are designed to resist rust and offer years of dependable performance.

Styles
A rural mailbox doesn't have to just be functional. Mailboxes are available in a variety of stylish shapes and colors. A mailbox can say a lot about your personality and interests. Popular mailbox themes include gardening, animals and sports.

Choosing a post
Posts come in several materials including wood and aluminum. There are two basic post types. The ground mounted mailbox posts are installed in the ground and many of them are equipped with a burial system kit for easy installation. Surface mounted posts are designed to be mounted above the ground and most of these also have installation kits included. The surface mount mailboxes are installed by burying a plate in the ground and pouring concrete to secure the post into place. Finally, the post is mounted onto the plate with bolts when the concrete is dry.

Additional features
Many rural mailboxes offer other handy features. Newspaper holders are perfect for ensuring the newspaper is clean and dry. Sturdy polypropylene flags resist fading and are connected to rural mailboxes with rust-resistant hinges. Larger sized rural mailboxes offer plenty of extra interior space for holding multiple magazines and other bulky mail. Dual access rural boxes allow you to retrieve mail from either the front or rear of the mailbox.

A rural mailbox can become much more than a functional necessity. With the many types of rural mailboxes and different options available, everyone can find the perfect mailbox to suite their taste.
