Re: Mailbox Cover Roof

Around here, the State owns the mail boxes. A truck takes out the
stand of 1-5 boxes and the state comes out and puts in another free.

Naturally the person if caught pays big time.

Would cedar from a cedar fence board be a good choice of material?

Most cedar shingles are tapered, so the thin side can slide under the previous course. I could do this with the table saw, but is there an easy way to prevent constant readjustment of the blade? I'd take a slice at 10-
15 degrees, then the next one would be 0, then back to 10-15 again.

Is it worth putting felt paper down?

I don't build little mailbox houses any more. The first one was blown up in the middle of the night near the 4th of July. The second one was run over by a tractor trailer.

Fool me once...


And my mailbox post was cracked by the teenager up the street first
learning to drive. The painted mailbox survived with a few scratches.
Anything built around a mailbox either rots or gets invaded by
insects. My vote goes for a plain painted mailbox with painted
numerals. The painted numerals last 10X longer than the stick on kind
and do not rust. Reflectors on a mailbox encourage target practice.
