I have some leftover stone tiles that I want to make a letter box similar to this photo wiith my leftovers. I also have some blue board that I thought I could also use to recycle what I have .. my project 😊
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Janettetucker. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about building a letterbox.
Using leftover stone tiles and blueboard is a great way to recycle materials and create something unique. To get started, you’ll need to build a substructure first that will support the cladding and tiles. This could be made from exterior H3-treated pine if you want a timber frame, or concrete blocks if you prefer something more solid.
Once the substructure is in place, you can clad it with the blueboard and then tile over it with your leftover stone tiles. The key thing is to make sure the structure is strong enough to hold the tiles and also has an opening that fits the letterbox snugly. It’s a good idea to take measurements of your letterbox first and sketch a design for the substructure, including the exact position and size of the opening, so everything fits together nicely.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
