Installing Your New Mailbox Post
Before installing your new mailbox pole or post, keep these tips in mind. If you're installing a new mailbox, contact your local "Call Before You Dig" number to avoid any buried utilities while digging the hole for your post. You’ll want to dig about two feet deep once getting the go-ahead.
Additionally, it's essential to refer to the United States Postal Service (USPS) guidelines for mailbox placement to ensure compliance. Here are some general USPS guidelines for mailbox locations:
- The bottom of the mailbox should be positioned between 41 and 45 inches above the surface of the road.
- Maintain a distance of 6 to 8 inches from the curb or road edge to the front of the mailbox.
