Masonry Built Mailboxes
Is it time to get a new mailbox? Don’t settle for a standard tin box on a stick. Brick and stone mailboxes create a look of lasting elegance. They add an architectural element that’s practical and beautiful. Here are five good reasons to choose a brick or stone mailbox.
1. Match Your Style
A new mailbox is an instant upgrade that improves your home’s curb appeal, increases its value and adds an impressive finishing touch. Stone and brick are durable, maintenance-free materials that create lasting beauty.
You can find stone or brick to suit every style of outdoor landscaping and building elements. Whether your preferred style is classic, rustic or modern, you can find a stone or brick mailbox to match it.
2. Keep Mail Safe and Secure
Your stone mailbox will probably come with a box you can lock. Nothing is as secure as a locked mailbox in a stone setting. Once your mail is inside it, there’s no way for anyone to break into it. There’s also no way for mail to accidentally fall out.
A regular mailbox can be flimsy and insecure. If you want the total peace of mind that comes with knowing your important documents, bank statements, checks and personal information are not left open to prying eyes, get a stone mailbox.
3. Create Curb Appeal
Stone and brick mailbox pillars are classic parts of stately home designs. Even if your house isn’t on the historic register, you’ll give it an instant upgrade with an attractive mailbox.
Standard flat-top styles are not your only options. You can add interest to your stone mailbox with some of these additional features:
- Archtop: Add visual interest with an arch or eyebrow arch.
- Steeple top: A pointed, steeple top is a nice touch if your home has gables.
- Projecting brick: Lines of projecting brick add an interesting design element. You can run these along the top or bottom.
- Planters: Add room for color and life with a planter attachment on your mailbox.
- Stone number block: Make your mailbox truly elegant with an easy-to-see, durable stone number block.
4. Get a Uniform Design
A sweeping stone driveway topped by a stone mailbox makes a dramatic statement. It’s a unified, elegant look.
If you’ve installed a stone patio, stone veneer over your walls, a stone gate or other stone elements, get a mailbox that ties your design together.
Stone and brick add natural charm to any home. Once you add stone design to your house, you should extend that look to the rest of your outdoor elements. Don’t ruin your home’s exterior with a cheap-looking, tin or rubber mailbox. Make your mailbox an attractive, appealing part of your overall design.
5. Install a Mailbox That Lasts
Have you ever lost your mailbox to bad weather or bad driving?
With a stone or brick mailbox, you never have to worry about your mailbox getting knocked down by the wind, run over by a bicycle or mowed down by a car. No matter what hits it, it will stay standing. Your stone mailbox will stand up to years of use and weather of all kinds.
Your mailbox will never get a dilapidated, lopsided look. It won’t rust or lose color. Over the years, its attractiveness will only increase as it takes on the patina of age.
