Our favorite painted mailboxes, wall mounted and post mounted

The painted mailbox is a creative expression for your home or rural yard.  There are many different themes to choose from.  Generally the shape of the box is the traditional style, but it is the painting that makes it unusual.  They are often made of heavy duty galvanized steel to ensure durability too.  Make sure that they are sealed over the weatherproof paint to ensure that it will last.

Some are painted on the front, back, and all sides, others may just be two sides.  You can find them in dolphins, birds, different flowers, cows, tractor, dogs, cats, farm scenes, and more.  The background color may vary as well.

The craftsmanship that goes into these is done with pride and you are sure to take pride in it as well.  Depending on which one you choose, it may be made of wood or aluminum.  The paint is a strong weatherproof  paint and then sealed so that it won’t wear.  You want it to withstand snow, rain and sunshine.
