We have a new change worth noting! After receiving a few requests about how to repair mailbox posts and pieces due to age, rust, or accidental damage, we discovered that the cost for our current Wynfield Mailbox Design is custom enough that the cost has become very expensive for our neighbors. Some of the pieces are discontinued and require custom corrections to change them resulting in a full replacement cost of over $650! During a Board meeting in 2020, the HOA Board of Directors found a solution that is significantly less expensive and a classy, modern design.
Our goal is to begin the transition to the new mailbox design over the next 5 years as we face challenges with our aging mailboxes. The new design is by Better Box Mailboxes in South Carolina that you will need to purchase online. Their kit involves a cast aluminum mailbox and post framework that is rust resistant and sturdy. The cost for the whole kit is $269, plus any extra installation costs which involve the concrete base & wood or metal post for the mounting if your exiting post is no longer usable.
You can choose your option of numbers to post onto the address plate using either the Brass Mailbox Numbers from Better Box Mailboxes ($16 for 4 numbers) or an attachable style from your local hardware store.
Your new Better Box Mailbox post can be mounted directly onto the existing concrete pad and the current round metal post. Another option is to install a new 3″ – 4″ round metal or wood post into a new concrete pad if necessary to mount the new design.
To Anchor the Aluminum Post: Drill hole into the concrete using a carbide tipped bit that meets ANSI standards. Bit size = anchor diameter when working with wedge anchors. Drill a hole 1/2″ deeper than the anchor will penetrate into the concrete making sure that the minimum embedment requirements are met.

Wynfield’s charm is found in common elements, so if a mailbox post is damaged, it will need to be replaced with the new model that is used throughout the neighborhood with Better Box Mailboxes.

Our annual WHOA dues are among the lowest in Forsyth County for subdivisions with similar amenities. The WHOA uses the money to meet its day-to-day financial obligations, including electricity for street lights; common area landscaping and maintenance; operation, maintenance, and utilities of the pool, two tennis courts and clubhouse; management and accounting costs; insurance expenses; non-collections-related legal fees; newsletter printing and postage; annual meeting expenses; rules enforcement expenses; and reserve fund obligations.
The existence of these activities and amenities supports the property value of every homeowner. However, money collected does not cover the actual amount of labor needed to run the Association. The WHOA relies heavily on the voluntary contribution of countless unpaid hours by Board members and other volunteer neighbors. If we had to rely exclusively on paid employees and contractors, the dues would need to be several times higher than they are now.

If you have lost your pool key card, please immediately report the loss to your Wynfield Webmaster.
You can request a new key card, but there will be a $20 fee for the replacement or additional card. If you have changed devices or have a new family member needing mobile access, you can also register a new device for no additional cost.
