The Rural Mailbox

If you live in the country, but don't like driving into town to pick up your mail in a post office box, a rural mailbox may be the thing for you. Durably built to withstand fierce country winds, the rural mailbox is a convenient option for rural residents.

Sturdy construction

Built from tough plastic, aluminum, or galvanized steel, a quality rural mailbox resists rust and offer years of faithful performance.

Styles

Your rural mailbox can combine both function and style. Available in a variety of distinctive shapes and colors, a rural mailbox can reflect your hobbies and interests. Popular rural mailbox themes include nature, pets and sports teams.

Choosing a post

Available in wood, aluminum, and other materials, rural mailbox posts can be ground or surface mounted. Ground mounted rural mailbox posts are buried directly into the earth. For simple installation, many manufacturers include a burial system kit.

Surface mount rural mailbox posts are mounted above ground. The surface mount rural mailbox is installed by burying a plate in the ground and pouring concrete to secure the post. When the concrete dries, the post is bolted onto the plate. Like the ground mount rural mailbox, most surface mount mailboxes come packaged with installation kits.
 

Additional features

You can add a diverse array of features to your rural mailbox.

Newspaper holders keep the daily news clean and dry.

Sturdy polypropylene flags resist fading and connect to your rural mailbox with rust-resistant hinges.

For bulky mail and magazines, a large sized rural mailbox offers the space you need.

Dual access rural boxes let you retrieve mail from either the front or rear of the mailbox.

Whether you like to show off your favorite hobby or just want to read a dry newspaper, a rural mailbox can meet your unique needs and personality.
