Freestanding pillar letterboxes are an excellent option for homeowners wanting a clean, modern look without relying on existing walls or fences. These units are typically made from fibro cement or other durable materials and are installed on a purpose-built concrete slab to ensure stability and long-term performance.
Instead of wet-pouring concrete onsite, our team supplies a precast slab and secures the letterbox using industrial adhesive — delivering a strong, tidy result without exposed bolts or brackets.
The entire installation usually takes 1.5 to 2 hours, and the finished box sits at the required 900–1200mm height per Australia Post standards. This style is ideal for front gardens, driveways, or entryways where fencing isn’t available, but a more architectural finish is desired. It offers a great middle ground between simple post-mounted options and full brick-in builds. Just note that once installed, the box is fixed in place and not easily moved — and if an old box needs to be removed first, that’s quoted separately. Overall, a freestanding pillar letterbox offers both function and street appeal without the need for brickwork.
