STEP 1: Remove the old mailbox by rocking it back and forth and side to side to free it up. Then lift it straight up to remove.

• Note: If the original post is in good shape with a firm foundation, you may be able to reuse it. If post needs replacing, remove original and follow next steps. If original post was set in concrete, dig up around hole to remove.
• Note: According to the USPS the front of the mailbox should be 6" to 8" from curb and the inside surface 41" to 45" from street level.

STEP 2: Determine hole location for your mailbox post. Using yardstick, position front of mailbox 6" to 8" back from curb. Mark your hole location.

STEP 3: Using post hole digger, dig a 12" to 14" diameter hole below the frost line. We suggest a hole depth of at least 24" deep.

STEP 4: Pour 4" to 6" of gravel into the bottom of the hole to assist with drainage.

STEP 5: Attach post level and place post cut to proper length in center of hole. Be sure that post is positioned square to street using yard stick as a guide.

STEP 6: Pour half of the bag of concrete evenly around post and add half of the required water. Pack with packing stick to remove any voids or air pockets.

STEP 7: Using attached post level or standard level, check post for level in both directions and squareness to street. Adjust if necessary.

STEP 8: Pour remaining concrete evenly around post along with remaining water. Pack with packing stick to remove any voids or air pockets.

STEP 9: Recheck post for level in both directions and squareness to street. Readjust if necessary. Allow post to set according to concrete directions.

STEP 10: Add dirt to level off around hole. Install mailbox and secure to 4" x 4" post according to mailbox instructions.
• Note: According to the USPS the inside surface 41" to 45" from street level.
