Does anyone have any patterns for brick mail boxes?

  • Not so sure about any pattern, but you should purchase a steel or aluminum mailbox to brick around. A brick only unit is porous and will allow water to seep in to the area where the mail will be located. Placing a mailbox into the brick will prevent water from getting in and ruining the mail. As far as any pattern, It can be as simple as a square or more complicated with lights etc. The style you would choose would be something along the design of the house or your exterior decor.
