Description

Most letterboxes carry the house number. This one is the house number — 1000 mm tall, with a lockable mail chute built into the numeral and your street name cut into the side or front if you want it. It’s for frontages where the address should be the feature, and for anyone tired of couriers driving straight past.

Every one is laser-cut to order at our workshop in Berkeley, NSW.

“We just received our custom numerical letter box and it’s top shelf!” — Simon P., Google review

Choose your number

Pick any digit from 0 to 9 above. Every numeral is the same height and depth; the width follows the shape of the number, so a 1 is narrower than an 8.

Two- or three-digit address? Add each number to your cart separately — for 81, add an 8 and a 1. Put your full house number in the Order Notes field at checkout so we know which order they stand in. Every order is reviewed and confirmed before we start cutting. The photos above show some of the sets we’ve made, including 7 & 2 and 1, 2 & 3.

Street name: select “Yes” above and we’ll cut your street name into the side or front of the numeral.

Pattern and perspex: we can also cut a pattern into the numeral and line it with frosted perspex, so the pattern stands out clearly against the metal. That’s a custom order — request a quote and tell us the pattern you have in mind, or browse our pattern gallery for ideas.

Choose your finish

Cor-Ten steel develops a natural rust patina that deepens over years and never needs painting. Rusting is a natural process, so every numeral weathers to its own shade — we can’t control the final hue, and most people like that about it. 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 a lot less, 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 online

Select your material, number and extras above, then add to cart. Repeat for each number in your address.

Ordering something custom

For a pattern cut into the numeral, perspex lining, a different font, a custom size, 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 numerals 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. Patterns, perspex lining and internal lighting are not included in the online price.

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).
