Instructions / Assembly

With the Wooden Post Assembly removed, we are ready to put the basin into its permanent location.
You will need to check with your local post office as to the desired height of mailbox. If the Post office
gives you a range you can use, then a typical mailbox is 42" from pavement to the bottom of mailbox
and the front is flush with the edge of the curb or end of the road.
Step 7) Set the basin in the desired location and check to make sure it is level. If needed, remove the
basin and use a shovel to make the ground level.
Step 8) Slide the Wooden Post Assembly back into the basin and checked for the desired height. If the
top of the 3
rd
post is above what your local Post Office requires, you will need to trim the bottom of the
Post Assembly. Remove the Wooden Post Assembly from the basin. However much you exceeded the
Post Office’s limit will have to be cut off the bottom of the 1
st
and 3
rd
post. Example, if the limit is 42”
and you measured 45”, you will need to cut 3” off the bottom of the 1
st
and 2
nd
post. Make sure that the
cuts stay even so that the mailbox stays even. Place the Wooden Post Assembly back into the basin
when finished.
Step 9) Use a level on everything and in every direction. If anything needs to be adjusted, do it now.
Step 10) Use two 1.5" torx screws and secure the post in
place to the basin. There are two predrilled holes on the
inside of the basin (pictured right). Repeat for both posts.
Step 11) Put about 12 inches of gravel inside the basin to keep the basin in place.
Step 12) Put the two included black planters in place and fill as desired.
Step 13) Attach a Mailbox to the end of the 3
rd
post (Mailbox hardware is NOT included)
Step 14) Take Pride in a job well done.
