Stone mailbox..

The old.

Base pored.

Cinder blocks laid.

Stone going on.

Finished product.


Just need to pressure wash it after the mortar dries. Got about $200 invested.

Very nice, I like it!


Got to be careful what you make them out of. If it gets hit by a car. It is possible you can be sued if a passenger was injured by it. That depends on what it is made of.
Or at least that's what I have heard before.

How is the box attached?

[Tailboard2523]

Box is set on mortar, the bottom has a textured design to help grab the mortar. The cinder blocks are not anchored to the base with any rebar, only mortar,if its hit by a vehicle it should sheer off the base.

I hung some stone like that in the 70's. "Perma Stone" ! Like the look!

Nice

I think the stone is formed with regular cement. It was the leftovers from a friends shop he had built a few years ago.
