Outdoors: Rural Mailbox Roundup
From Janet
Today's Architect Visit: Dry Design in Los Angeles reminded me of how much I like the classic curbside rural mailbox.
Above: The mailbox pictured in today's post is Steel City's Galvanized Rural Mailbox, which, according to our sources, is no longer being produced (please prove us wrong). Following are some great alternatives.
Above: The classic GDM Newport Mailbox is available in nine colors; $89.99 from More Mailboxes.
Above: The Large Steel Rural Mailbox
Above: Another good deal is the Classic #2 Rural Mailbox with a mail slot by Flambeau; $37.25 at More Mailboxes.
Above: Steel Mailbox Company's Heavybilt Country Estate Mailboxes are available in nine colors (Caribbean blue is shown) and three sizes; $130 for the medium size through Steel Mailbox Company.
Above: We like the handle pull on the Antique Rural Mailbox shown in a nickel finish with all aluminum construction; $90 at Mailboxes.com.
Above: The ridiculously sturdy Stainless Steel Heavy Gauge Roadside Mailbox by Veeders comes with an equally hefty price tag of $649 ($389 in white or black) at Mailboxixchange.com; we like the sleek industrial look and feel.

I think it's true about Steel City. My box got crushed by a fallen tree and I scoured the Hudson Valley for a replacement -- no luck.
ok. so about a year ago I searched, searched and searched for a mailbox. One that was simple, yet strong---these were dancing in my head, but I didn't find them anywhere! I am so thankful for this post!!!
You can find a decent selection of the "rural mailbox" at Home Depot - keyword search is "Mailbox", all at decent prices.
