8-box cantilever, 8'×26'2"
In short
Mitchell Metals supplied and installed an 8′ x 26′ 2″ cantilever CBU mail kiosk cover at Tessa Sugar Hill in Sugar Hill, Georgia. The structure is Bronze on 6×6 extruded aluminum posts and beams, with an 8-box capacity delivered turnkey with its cluster box units.
Overview
A first order, and then several more
Tessa Sugar Hill is a townhome community on Bailey Avenue in Sugar Hill, Georgia, in Gwinnett County north-east of Atlanta. The developer came to Mitchell Metals new in 2026 and has placed several further orders for canopies and cluster box units since.
What the second order means
Winning a first project is a sales result. Winning the second is a verdict on the first — it means the structure arrived when it was meant to, fitted what was already on site, and did not generate a week of phone calls. That is the only review worth having in this business, and it is the reason this page says more about the sequence than the structure.
Eight cluster box units in a single uninterrupted run, cantilevered so nothing stands in front of the boxes. At twenty-six feet it is the same structure as Ashwood Springs in southwest Atlanta — not a coincidence, but the point: the configuration that answers a townhome mail center with eight boxes is a solved problem, and solved problems are what make a second order easy to place.
Why cantilever for townhomes
Townhome sites run tight. The mail center usually lands between the kerb and the walk with a few feet either side, and a standard cover with posts in front of the boxes would make that approach awkward for a resident and worse for a carrier working the full run. A cantilever puts the single post line behind the boxes and leaves the frontage clear.
Supplied turnkey — cover and cluster box units together. The frame is extruded aluminum, so nothing rusts. It is engineered to ASCE 7-16 wind and snow loads and designed to meet ADA and IBC requirements, with cluster box placement following the USPS Builders/Developers Guide.

Why these specs were chosen
Cantilever configuration. One post line behind the boxes. On a tight townhome site the clear frontage is the whole argument.
8′ x 26′ 2″. Eight cluster box units in one uninterrupted run, at the depth cantilever geometry needs.
6×6 posts and beams. A cantilevered roof puts bending into its posts. 6×6 is the section that answers it at twenty-six feet.
Turnkey supply. Cover and boxes from one party — which is part of why the next order was easy to place.

Questions
Frequently asked questions about this project
Who built the CBU mail kiosk cover at Tessa Sugar Hill in Sugar Hill, GA?
Mitchell Metals, LLC of Marietta, Georgia manufactured and installed the 8' x 26' 2" CBU mail kiosk cover at Tessa Sugar Hill. The structure is Bronze on 6x6 extruded aluminum posts and beams.
Who is the builder of the Tessa Sugar Hill community?
Tessa Sugar Hill is a Two Resi Build community in Sugar Hill, Gwinnett County, Georgia, built by the Two Resi Build. The developer of the Tessa Sugar Hill townhome community in Sugar Hill, Georgia, and a new Mitchell Metals client in 2026 who has placed several further orders since.
What are the specifications of the Tessa Sugar Hill structure?
The structure is a cantilever CBU mail kiosk cover measuring 8' x 26' 2", finished in Bronze. Posts and beams are 6x6 extruded aluminum. It is rated for ASCE 7-16 wind and snow loads and designed to meet ADA and IBC requirements.
Why do townhome communities usually get cantilever covers?
Because townhome sites are tight. The mail center normally lands between the kerb and the walk with little room either side, and a cover with posts in front of the boxes makes the approach awkward for residents and slow for the delivery carrier. A cantilever carries the roof on one line of posts set behind the boxes, so the frontage stays clear.
How quickly can Mitchell Metals turn around a repeat order?
Faster than a first one, because the specification is already settled. Once a developer has a configuration that works — finish, post section, box count, scope — a repeat order is a fabrication slot rather than a design exercise. Call 470-870-7733 for residential projects.
