On this page we will give you tips on how to install our post and ways to keep them looking their
best for years to come.
Installation
First call your post office and ask them how high the mailbox needs to be off the ground.
In Ground Installation: measure from bottom of post to the top of the arm to determine how deep of a hole you need.
Dig hole and insert post. Make sure the post is straight and fill hole with concrete or dirt. (if refilling hole with
dirt make sure you pack the dirt in to ensure sturdiness)
Stake Installation: cut bottom of post to length. Insert stake into ground and attach post to the stake.
