The latest batch of our Stella 2 letterbox (SKUs 573S-xxx) now includes a refined rear cover designed to keep your setup looking tidy from every angle. Whether you’re installing on PVC, timber or brick, the rear cover neatly hides the fence cut-out and gives the back of the letterbox the same polished finish as the front.

This update comes directly from customer feedback — homeowners loved the clean look of Stella 2, but wanted a way to tidy the rear opening when mounting through a fence. So we redesigned the rear detail to match the standard our customers expect.
Most fence-mounted letterboxes require a rear cut-out so the parcel door and mail access can function. Without a cover, that opening can look unfinished — especially on lighter-coloured PVC or timber fencing.

The new Stella 2 (SKU 573S-xxx) now comes with the rear cover included by default.

Both versions function the same, but the covered rear offers a more seamless look for modern fences.

These images make it easy to see how much tidier a fence letterbox can look with the new rear panel.
The cover sits neatly over the rear access door and mounting bracket, hiding structural elements without affecting parcel capacity or daily use.
This update is part of our ongoing focus on refining each model based on real homes, real installs, and real feedback. Stella 2 has always been one of our most practical fence letterboxes — the rear cover simply completes the picture.
If you prefer the clean, fully finished look on your fence, the new 573s series is the way to go.
