Does anyone have a plan for a simple letterbox made out of plywood or similar material? My son has asked me to make one to replace his weather-damaged one! The style is that of a pitched roof over a box, commonly seen around most neighbourhoods.
Thanks.

Thanks the video was very useful.
Could I have some dimensions please? for the pieces
Hello @Oxfred
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about the letterbox.
My apologies for the late reply, I'm currently in the process of trying to track down the original cut list of the letterbox. However, I do have a very good estimate of the size of the letterbox as the sheet size was given at the start of the video. As soon as I finish sketching it, I'll post it here.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
Eric
In the meantime.
Here's another mail-box set of plans...
Thanks Eric
Hello @Oxfred
Thank you very much for your patience. Unfortunately, I was not able to get the cut list for the original letterbox. However, based on the timber size that was provided, I've put together a possible cut-out pattern for you that resembles the assembly instructions of the video. If you have any questions about the sketch, please let me know.
Please keep us updated with your progress, we look forward to seeing your letter box assembled and ready for use.
