How North Carolina Weather Affects Your Mailbox

From humid summers to icy winters, weather in Charlotte can shorten the lifespan of your mailbox. Here's how to protect it.

Heat and Humidity

Moisture can cause metal components to rust and wood to warp. Consider weather-resistant materials or protective coatings.

Heavy Rainfall

Ensure your mailbox has proper drainage and a tight seal to prevent water damage to mail.

Winter Freezes

Freezing temperatures can make plastic brittle and lead to cracks. Inspect hardware regularly during cold months.

Wind and Storms

Strong winds may loosen posts or blow open doors. Securing your mailbox firmly in the ground helps prevent this.
