We are trying to find a letter box that is wind,rain and weatherproof!! We live by the sea and have horizontal rain blown in on a gale regularly, resulting in soggy post !! Any suggestions?
Bridget, Penzance
For coastal areas I would always suggest Brabantia post boxes or if you need something quite large, Bobi post boxes. Both brands offer excellent protection from the corrosive salty air and will not leak.

You might have a problem under extremely windy conditions as the letter flap may blow open. You could solve this by attaching small magnets to the letter flap or choose the product 480829. Rather than a single metal flap, this model has a series of plastic flaps that are designed to resist wind.

What security measures are there to prevent theft of mail from this box?
Hilary Brett, Hayle
The post box is fitted with a steel cam lock supplied with 2 keys, keeping the contents locked away until retrieved by a key holder. The Front loading letter slot has a protective flap and is of a size that will allow A4 size deposits to be made but makes it difficult for items to be removed by hand.

Can the Decayeux - D560 Post Box be mounted on vertical iron fence railings and still be waterproof.
RD, Bournemouth
You would need to find a custom method of affixing the box to railings, as standard it should be mounted flush to a wall. Providing the fixing holes are covered its weather resistance should not be compromised.
