We have been searching for a "modern" mailbox for a year and have been discouraged by asthetic and price. We actually removed the existing post and built it as a stand-alone. Frame is pressure treated and sheathing is cedar fence board. Anchored into the ground with concrete and steel angle brackets. For modern numbers, check out the Architectural Cast Brass numbers from Home Depot. Similar to Neutra but at 6 dollars a pop! This is beyond brilliant. Thanks!

Original mailbox was a simple post and box set in the ground with concrete already. By using the gravel, we prevent rot to the new frame.
