Mailboxes


In rural areas, roadsidemailboxes are common. These mailboxes are found along the road which is the walk through entry to the houses. Most of these mailboxes are made of durable materials such as aluminum, with non-lock front swing door access and a rear locked access. Roadside mailboxes is more advantages for postmen especially of homes that are far from the road or with dogs guarding their homes.

Once the mail is deposited through the front access panel on the front, it is secured and no one can get it unless it is opened at the rear door. Homeowners provide their own keys for security. These mailboxes are usually mounted in heavy duty standing columns made from masonry, wood or steel.
