I've had plans to build a mailbox for quite a while. I'm wondering if I should build it around one of those plastic mailbox structures. I'm planning to construct it in such a way that it resembles my home. Cedar shingles to resemble the Timberline shingles on my roof. Cedar siding to resemble the aluminum siding on the house. Painted the same as the house of course.
Any thoughts? I know that if I build and design it properly I will likely not need the plastic structure, but it couldn't hurt, right?
