Post boxes, also known as mail boxes, are a type of enclosed compartment which is used to house mail. They serve a practical function by protecting letters and packages from the wind and rain. There are several different types of post boxes available on the market. This article takes a look at some of the most popular choices, and it explains where you can purchase a post box from. Free Standing Post Box These types of post boxes are secured into the front lawn area by a post. They are more popular in America than in Europe, and they are often used on properties that have a long driveway where access to the house is inconvenient. The most common design is an aluminium or metal post box that has a lever to be able to access what is inside. There are a huge range of shapes and styles available so you can choose a post box that complements the look and feel of your property. In-Wall Post Boxes These types of post boxes are built into the wall of an existing property. They provide a secure way to be able to collect your mail, and they also look visually attractive. In-wall post boxes will require a professional to come and install them for you. Letter Boxes If you don't want to have a freestanding or in-wall post box then you can also choose to have a letter box. A letter box is a small opening which is built into the front door. The postman will then post your mail directly through the letterbox. Novelty Post Boxes If you want to stand out from the crowd then there are also some novelty post boxes that are available to purchase. These include miniature red British post boxes, birdhouse post boxes, and post boxes that are made out of an old computer tower. You can also decorate and customize your own post box with stickers for a more individual look. Where to Purchase Post Boxes Post boxes can be purchased from specialist online retailer, or from some large homestores. A metal post box makes a great accessory outside a home or office.
