How to install a mailbox and mailbox post:

Installing a mailbox post depends on a few factors. Do you intend to install a 4x4 post into the ground using concrete (most common)? Or will you use the Mayne No-Dig Ground Anchor for a faster installation? Or will you install a surface mount post or pedestal directly into a concrete slab using anchor bolts?

For installing a residential post mailbox, we recommend this article, which lists the following steps: 

  1. Contact your local Post Office: The USPS can outline the proper mailbox placement rules and measurements. Request a mailbox mounting height and a mailbox distance from the road or curb. The typical post mount mailbox height usually is between 40 in. to 44 in. above the ground. The typical mailbox setback usually is between 6 in. to 8 in. from the curb.
  2. Before you dig, be sure to speak with your local utility locating service. The last thing you want to do is accidentally dig through your cable line.
  3. Wear protective clothing: be sure to wear proper protective eyewear and gloves during your mailbox installation. Secure the digging area, so no child or adult stumbles into an unprotected, open hole in the ground.
  4. Dig an 8 in. to 10 in. diameter hole for the mailbox-post installation.
  5. Refer to USPS Guidelines for more details.

How to install a mailbox on an existing metal post:

We recommend consulting a handyman or a local hardware store for installing a mailbox on an existing metal post. However, you may be able to install a mailbox on an existing metal post by following these steps:

  1. Position the mailbox over the pole. The closer it is to the center, the easier it will be for you to install it.
  2. Set any included mounting brackets where they need to go, according to the mailbox's instructions. For example, if the bracket meant to attach the mailbox to the pole needs to be directly below the bottom front edge, set it there.
  3. Drill the included screws through the bracket holes, the pole, and the mailbox to attach the two.
  4. Ideally, any mailbox you purchase should include instructions for mounting to an included metal post or an existing metal post.

How to install a mailbox on an existing post or wood post:

For installing a mailbox on an existing wooden post, we recommend this video tutorial. Things you will likely need:

  1. A 1x6 piece of wood cut to fit the bottom of your mailbox. Note: you should cut this piece of wood short enough so that the mailbox door still opens and closes.
  2. A power drill.
  3. Screws for mounting the mailbox to the 1x6 piece of wood and the wooden post.

How to install a mailbox post without concrete:

The easiest way to install a mailbox post without concrete is to purchase the Mayne No-Dig Ground Anchor for 4x4 mailbox posts. Here is a helpful video showing how the No-Dig Anchor works.
