Outdoor Post Boxes

Outdoor post boxes are designed to incorporate a number of security features, including strong galvanised steal cases, secure locking mechanisms and robust wall fixing bolts. There are different box designs, that not only offer aesthetic options, but also can be more focussed around your specific requirements, such as whether you might receive a large number of A4 documents. While outdoor post boxes are secure, we’d recommend keeping them within view of a CCTV device or smart doorbell to further deter any potential thieves.

Being designed to be located outdoors, an outdoor post box has to be impervious to the weather, with features specifically designed to accomplish this. The post box cases are typically made from rust resistant high quality or galvanised steel, ensuring that they won’t deteriorate with long exposure to rain. Those with top loading functionality have flaps in place to cover the postal slot ensuring that the contents don’t become wet in the rain and the way in which the boxes are constructed means that water is channelled away from the contents.

While many outdoor post boxes are designed to accept letters and large A4 envelopes, they do not typically allow for parcels. This is largely due to the restrictive size of the postal slot. Smaller parcels that would fit through a standard letter box size could be accepted by some outdoor post box models, depending on the box construction. To accept parcels, we’d recommend a specific parcel box, designed specifically to accept larger letters and parcel deliveries.
