Postal Regulations recommend that the floor (Mail entry point) of the mounted Mailbox be between 41”-45” above road surface and that the front of the mailbox be set back 6-8” from edge of road or front of curb. The USPS suggest that all customers contact their local Post Office before erecting your Mailbox/Post to ensure correct placement and height at the street. Install Ground Mounting Post The PP200 Post is designed to slip over a Mounting Post made from a standard 4x4 wooden post. Two 2x4 boards can be combined to provide an alternative Mounting Post. Mounting Post should be set 18 inches in to the ground and between 18-23 inches above ground. The height above ground will need to be lower than 23 inches to allow for PP200 Post to mount completely over wooden post.
WARNING: “Call before you dig” – Call 811 . 811 is the designated call before you dig phone number that directly connects you to your local one call center in your area. Each state has different rules and regulations governing digging to insure that buried utility lines will not be disturbed.
