Our experts explain how to install a mailbox on your rigid mesh panels without damaging them or spoiling the look of your outdoor area! <\/p>\n\n<!--more-->\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"la-r&#xE9;glementation-des-bo&#xEE;tes-aux-lettres\">Mailbox regulations<\/h2>\n\n<p>Yes, there are <strong>regulations<\/strong> for installing a mailbox, and few people know it! When installing your mailbox, you cannot do it any way you like: <\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>A mailbox must be installed <strong>between 0.90 m and 1.50 m high<\/strong> to meet the needs of people with reduced mobility (PRM).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The door facing the mail carrier must be <strong>easy to access<\/strong> so they can deliver mail and parcels without difficulty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The mailbox lock must be <strong>approved by La Poste<\/strong>, so the mail carrier can open your mailbox using their PTT master key.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Once you follow these rules, all that is left is to <strong>choose the right solution<\/strong> to install your mailbox on a rigid fence.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"la-plaque-de-montage\">The mounting plate<\/h2>\n\n<p>An attractive solution, <strong>the mounting plate<\/strong> is a frame designed to recess your mailbox into it. After neatly cutting a square in your rigid mesh using the right tools, you simply need to screw the two frame plates on the inside and outside of your property. <\/p>\n\n<p>Once the plates are securely fixed to the mesh, all that is left is to fit your mailbox using screws. Available in <strong>several colours<\/strong> depending on the supplier, this mounting support looks great and will blend in with your garden and the view from the street. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"les-barres-de-fixation\">Fixing bars<\/h2>\n\n<p>You have just installed your beautiful, sturdy rigid fence, but you do not want to cut it? <strong>There is a solution<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Metal fixing bars<\/strong> are affordable and quick to install if you want an effective, long-lasting solution. No special tools are needed; you just need a <strong>mailbox pre-drilled at the back<\/strong> so you can pass the support rods through it.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Once the rods are secured on the inside using the nuts, you will need to fit the <strong>retaining plates<\/strong> and set everything at the correct height on your rigid fence.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"la-consultation-aupr&#xE8;s-dun-professionnel\">Consulting a professional<\/h2>\n\n<p>If you have any doubts about the method to use, or if you are simply afraid of doing it wrong and damaging your fence, do not worry! You can absolutely <strong>call in a professional<\/strong> (or the person who installed your fence) to advise you, guide you and, if you wish, install your system for you. <\/p>\n\n<p>The installer will review your options while understanding your needs (and also your concerns about doing it alone). They will recommend the best installation method to make your mailbox a decorative feature that is integrated into your rigid fence. <\/p>\n<div class=\"rpbt_shortcode\">\n<h3>Dans le m\u00eame th\u00e8me<\/h3>\n<ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloture-discount.fr\/distriblog\/en\/advice\/an-aesthetic-fence-with-patterned-aluminum-fencing\/\">An Aesthetic Fence with Patterned Aluminum Fencing<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloture-discount.fr\/distriblog\/en\/advice\/solid-or-openwork-aluminum-fence-how-to-choose\/\">Solid or Openwork Aluminum Fence: How to Choose?<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloture-discount.fr\/distriblog\/en\/advice\/garden-ideas-the-slatted-aluminum-panel-fence\/\">Garden Ideas: The Slatted Aluminum Panel Fence<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloture-discount.fr\/distriblog\/en\/advice\/which-garden-fence-is-easiest-to-install\/\">Which Garden Fence is Easiest to Install?<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloture-discount.fr\/distriblog\/en\/advice\/solid-rigid-fence-or-rigid-mesh-panels\/\">Solid Rigid Fence or Rigid Mesh Panels?<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once your rigid fence has been installed, do not forget to put your mailbox back in place so you can receive your mail and small parcels.
