Concrete Letterbox DIY or Get It Made?

Hi guys,
I want to have a concrete rendered letterbox for my house.
Have no idea if I should do it myself. No idea what stuff I need or where to get it from in west Melbourne area.
Or pay someone to do it?
What would ozbargainer do?

    apply rockcote render.

    as for the letter box itself, depends how you want to construct it.

      Does it have to be applied on top of some specific material? Trying to avoid bricks

        it's like a textured paint with sandy surface to mimic render finished.

        can be applied to any hard surface though the website didn't list timber/wood, but i can't see why a water based acrylic binder paint can't be applied on timber/wood as long as it has been properly sealed & primed prior.
