ABSTRACT:
A rural mailbox cover has a slat assembly which overlays the arcuate roof and opposite side walls formed by a center panel of the mailbox, the assembly having parallel slats of equal lengths which are arranged in a row and joined by elongated flexible and preferably resiliently extensible elements that extend transversely of the row of slats and are fixed to each slat at the interiorly facing side of the assembly. A center group of slats are beveled at their opposite side edges to facilitate a contiguous slat edge arrangement for the group as they overlay the arcuate roof of the mailbox and the opposite ends of each slat are beveled to accommodate the location of the door flange and a bead at the juncture of the center and rear wall panels of the mailbox. The opposite end panels of the mailbox are covered by components that have a plate with a decorative strip that forms a flange that projects inwardly to overlay the adjacent ends of the slats in the slat assembly.
