3D Grevillea Free Standing Letterbox, Aluminium or Corten Steel

Description

A letterbox is the first thing anyone sees at your address, and the standard powder-coated box from the hardware store does nothing for a home you’ve spent years getting right. The 3D Grevillea is the only letterbox in our range with 3D artwork as standard — the same 1200 mm tall body as our Standard Parcel Letterbox, with the design standing out from the face instead of sitting flat.

Every one is laser-cut to order at our workshop in Berkeley, NSW, with your house number cut into the face.

The design

Grevillea is our favourite Australian flower to cut. On this letterbox the flowers and foliage are layered out from the face, so they catch the light from different angles through the day and throw shadows of their own. Add frosted perspex and internal lighting and the cut-outs glow at night — the night shots above show the effect.

Want a different native in 3D? We’ve cut hundreds of one-off designs over the years. Send a photo, a sketch, or just a description of what you’re after with a quote request and we’ll price it. For a flat-cut pattern instead, browse our pattern gallery.

Choose your finish

Cor-Ten steel develops a natural rust patina that deepens over years and never needs painting. On a 3D design the rust settles differently on each layer, which adds depth. It suits rendered, timber and natural-stone frontages, and pairs with Cor-Ten garden edging or planters if you’re doing the whole yard.

Powder-coated aluminium comes in the full Dulux powder coat range, weighs around half as much, and holds a crisp colour edge — the choice for contemporary builds and darker palettes like Monument or Deep Ocean. Browse the Dulux colour chart →

Ordering something custom

For a different size, a different native, a parcel box, or a design of your own, fill in the quote form below, email info@ironbarkmetaldesign.com or call 02 4229 2222. Custom orders run on a 50% deposit, after which we produce a computer mock-up for your approval before anything is cut.

Lead time, delivery and installation

Each letterbox is personalised and made to order, so allow 3–4 weeks for design and fabrication (3–5 weeks on custom orders). 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.

Installation is straightforward — the supplied internal fixing plate dynabolts to a concrete pad roughly 50 mm larger than the letterbox footprint and 50 mm deep. Any local handyman or landscaper can handle it.

Cor-Ten letterboxes ship un-rusted for mess-free delivery, and develop their patina on site over the first few months. To speed it up, dissolve a handful of table salt in 500 mL of white vinegar and apply in a shaded spot. Internal lighting is not included.
