Description

A letterbox is the first thing anyone sees at your address. Our standard range covers most homes — this page is for the rest: the unusual frontage, the specific size, the design that only makes sense at your house.

Everything is laser-cut and fabricated at our workshop in Berkeley, NSW. Nothing is pre-built, and nothing is cut until you’ve approved a mock-up.

Some of what we’ve made

  • A pillar letterbox with the house number 7 cut out as the mail slot
  • A 740 mm × 870 mm parcel letterbox in Dulux Monument with an Agapanthus pattern
  • A letterbox mounted on a post
  • A letterbox powder-coated in Dulux Burnished Copper, with a built-in newspaper slot
  • A Wide Form letterbox with Grevillea, bees and dragonflies

You’ll find photos of each above.

What you can choose

  • Size and shape — pillar, wide, horizontal, post-mounted, or your own dimensions
  • Pattern — anything from our pattern gallery, one of the hundreds of one-offs we’ve cut before, or something new from a photo, a sketch or a description
  • House number and street name in any font, cut into the face or used as the mail slot itself
  • Material — Cor-Ten steel, powder-coated aluminium in any Dulux colour, or 316 grade stainless steel, copper and brass on request
  • Extras — a parcel box with a combination lock, an enlarged mail flap, a newspaper cylinder, frosted perspex, internal lighting, or 12V strip lighting around the cut-outs

How it works

  1. Send us your idea. Fill in the quote form below with what you’re after — size, material, pattern and house number — and attach a photo or sketch if you have one. Include your postcode so we can estimate delivery.
  2. We price it. We come back to you with a quote.
  3. You approve a mock-up. Once the 50% deposit is paid, we produce a computer mock-up of your letterbox. Nothing is cut until you’re happy with it.
  4. We make it. Fabrication takes 3–5 weeks. The balance is due before dispatch, and we deliver Australia-wide or you can collect from Berkeley.

If one of our standard letterboxes is close to what you want, it’s often quickest to start there and change what you need: the Compact, Medium, Standard Parcel, Wide Form Parcel, 3D Grevillea or Large Numeral.

Delivery and installation

We deliver Australia-wide with insurance through the courier, or you can collect free from Unit 2/7 Warehouse Pl, Berkeley NSW. See our Shipping & Returns policy for details.

Most freestanding letterboxes fix to a concrete pad with a supplied internal plate that dynabolts down — a straightforward job for any local handyman or landscaper. We’ll tell you how yours installs when we send the mock-up.

Cor-Ten letterboxes ship un-rusted for mess-free delivery, and develop their patina on site over the first few months.

Below is the Letterbox FAQ, see our general FAQ here

There are two ways to order:

Online (Standard Designs): You can order directly via our website at https://www.ironbarkmetaldesign.com/product-category/letter-box/.
Important: Please view the Dulux Colour Swatches here (https://duluxpowders.com.au/colour/) and list your chosen Colour Name and House Number in the “Order Notes” section at checkout.


Custom Orders: For custom designs, we will issue an invoice for a 50% deposit. Once paid, we create a computer mock-up for your approval. Fabrication takes approximately 3–5 weeks, and the remaining balance is due prior to dispatch.

Base prices for letterboxes (excluding delivery and optional add-ons) are typically:

The main options are Cor-Ten steel (which develops a natural rust patina) and powder-coated aluminium (available in the full range of Dulux powder coat colours). We can also create customised letterboxes in 316 Grade stainless steel, Copper & Brass.

Yes, you can choose any font for the house number. You simply need to advise us of the font name (unless you choose one of the standard options displayed on our website).

The prices for common letterbox add-ons are:

  • Frosted Perspex: Ranges from $80.00 (Compact, front only) to $180.00 (Standard, 2 sides)
  • Newspaper Cylinder: $120
  • Powder-Coated Mail Faceplate: $150
  • Rear-Opening Parcel Box: $400 for Standard size or $500 for Custom/Large sizes
  • Internal Lighting: Starting at $350 depending on the size of the letterbox

The dedicated parcel box is accessed from the rear and secured with a 3-digit combination lock. You provide the code to couriers, who use it to deposit parcels and then spin the lock to re-secure the door.

Yes, you can choose to have an enlarged rear access mail flap instead of a full parcel box for an additional fee (e.g., approx $150 inc GST on a Medium letterbox).

Yes, for Medium, Standard & Wide Form letterboxes, the pattern can wrap from the front to the sides. However, the Compact letterbox design (1000mm H x 300mm W x 300mm D) does not allow for pattern wrapping.

We strongly recommend frosted perspex because:

  1. It makes the pattern and house number stand out clearly during the day
  2. It evenly disperses internal light at night
  3. It restricts insects and spiders from entering
  4. It conceals the internal parcel box from view

The letterbox is secured to a concrete pad (we recommend a pad approx 50mm larger than the letterbox perimeter and 50mm deep) using the removable internal fixing plate (supplied) that is then dynabolted to the concrete pad.

We generally do not offer installation outside Wollongong NSW. However, installation is a simple job that a local handyman or landscaper can easily complete.

To accelerate the rusting process, dissolve a handful of table salt into 500mL of white vinegar. Apply this solution to the surface in a shady space and allow the patina to develop over a few hours.

The most cost-effective method is delivery to your nearest courier depot. Residential delivery is available but costs more and may include freight warranty insurance depending on your location.

Yes we can install it, starting at $350. We recommend using a solar option (like Gardenglo from Bunnings). However, the letterbox design includes an allowance (hole in the base plate) for you to install your own hardwired or low-voltage lighting if preferred.

We do not recommend 240 volt lighting with any of our products due to safety concerns. You can use low-voltage hardwired or solar lighting, but it is best to discuss specific electrical options with a licensed electrician or local lighting supplier. We can advise on the installation of strip lighting if you are including a parcel box.

Yes, the letterbox design includes an allowance for internal lighting. The internal fixing plate features a hole (e.g., 100mm diameter) for the light or cable to pass through.

To install hardwired lighting, you must remember to make an allowance for the cord or cable to come up through the concrete pad by running a small piece of flexible conduit through the formwork before pouring.

es, frosted perspex is crucial when lighting a letterbox. It ensures the pattern is visible during the day, distributes the light evenly at night, and prevents the internal mechanisms from being seen through the cutouts.

We can provide custom quotes for fitting 12V strip lighting around the front cutout design. This is a custom feature and prices will vary based on the complexity of the order (e.g., an additional ~ $350 – $450 for a standard letterbox).
