Waterproof, proper job, external post box. Recomm pleeeeese

I live on the fell, the rain comes sideways

who can recommend a decently waterproof external postbox for me.

Max 500x500 by about 150 deep.

This item (in place, below) is about as waterproof as a napkin in November, it owes me nothing, It dies in April..
Photo provided for siting context.



Try and keep budget to 2 figures, not 3 ......?

you can even see the rain taunting me in that shot, I'm sick of soggy bills and the Beano ink runs badly..

How long have you had it and how well has it stood up to the rain at your end?

We’ve got a Brabantia. Ten years in it’s got no corrosion and we’ve never had wet post, despite it facing west and taking the brunt of the weather. I’d buy another.

Just buy one and try it?

If you don't like it, buy another?

It's hardly like buying a house.
