STEP 1 Determine location for mailbox. Using post hole digger, dig a hole
24" in depth. Install treated pine post by burying 24" of the post in the
ground - leaving at least 26" of post above ground. The 4x4 post can be up
to 38" above ground, but only 26" is necessary. Use level to ensure treated
pine post is in correct vertical position. Stabilize the treated pine post by
rmly tamping down loose soil around post base.
NOTE: Customers are required to contact
the local post oce before installing the mailbox
to ensure its correct placement and height at the street. Generally,
mailboxes are installed at the height of 41–45 inches from the road
surface to inside oor of mailbox or point of mail entry (locked designs)
and are set back 6–8 inches from front face of curb or road edge to the
mailbox door.
