Instructions / Assembly

Step 1) Locate the smallest post (1
st
Post). In the top of the basin, there are 3 holes. Slide this 1st post
into one of the smaller holes. Make sure that the thin end of the post goes down and the think end
overhangs the inside of the basin. Slide the post down until it contacts the bottom of the basin.
Step 2) Locate the longest post (2
nd
Post). Slide this 2nd post into the matching hole. Make sure that
the thin end of the post goes down and that the overhang is on the inside of the basin. Slide this 3rd
post all the way until it touches the bottom of the basin.
Step 3) Take the 3
rd
Post and place it in position. Both the 2
nd
and 3rd post have a grove cut into the
side. When placed together they form a cross. The longer end of the 3
rd
post should rest perfectly on
the 1st post.
Step 4) On top of where the 1
st
Post meets the 3
rd
post, there are some pre drilled holes. Using a drill
and torx drill bit, drive the 6" long torx screws straight into the pre drilled holes. Tighten until the
screws are flush.
Step 5) Where the 2
nd
and 3
rd
Post meet, there are more pre drilled holes. Drive the 3" torx screws into
these holes and tighten until the screws are flush.
Step 6) As pictured below, use four 1.5" torx screws and the pre drilled holes to attach the Colonial
Braces into the corners where the different post meet. A brace should go in
the following locations:
1) Inside bottom corner where the 1
st
and the 3
rd
post meet.
2) Inside upper corner where the 2
nd
and 3
rd
post meet.
3) Outside bottom corner where the 2
nd
and 3
rd
post meet.
Finally, screw the gothic post cap onto the top of the 2
nd
post. Once the
Mailbox kit has been fully assembled you may remove it from the basin.
