In-Ground Mounted Pedestal Installation Instructions

Installing the In-Ground Mounted Pedestal or Post

When you install a curbside or roadside mailbox, make sure that it is
easily accessible to the mail carrier. By regulation a locked mailbox
should be 41” to 45” from the ground or street surface up to the point
of mail entry. The door should be set back 6” to 8” back from the
front face of the curb or the road edge. However, you should check
with your local postmaster to ensure that the mailbox is installed
according to local regulations. It is important to note that it is not the
responsibility of mail carriers to open mailboxes that are locked,
accept keys for this purpose, or lock mailboxes after delivery of the
mail.

To install the in-ground mounted pedestal, begin by digging a hole for
the concrete footing and then prepare the concrete. The top surface
of the footing should be about 12” by 18”. See the illustration for the
relative position of the rectangular footing to the pedestal and
mailbox. The concrete should extend into the ground 24” or greater if
your local frost line is deeper. Installing the concrete below the frost
line will prevent movement during ground freezing and thawing. The
bottom of the hole for the concrete footing should be filled with a
depth of about 6” of gravel to promote drainage under the post. The
top of the footing should be sloped for water runoff.

When digging the hole for the footing, be careful to not puncture
water, sewer, or gas lines.

After digging the hole, set the pedestal in the hole and fill the hole
with the prepared concrete mix. Prod the mix with a stick while filling
to reduce any air pockets. If you want to conceal the concrete, pour
it to within a few inches of the top of the hole and cover with soil after
the concrete has set. Use a carpenter’s level on the sides of the
pedestal to ensure that the pedestal is aligned vertically. Periodically
check the vertical alignment of the pedestal as the concrete is curing.

Bolt Mounted Pedestal Installation Instructions

Installing the Bolt Mounted Pedestal

When you install a curbside or roadside mailbox, make sure that it is
easily accessible to the mail carrier. By regulation a locked mailbox
should be 41” to 45” from the ground or street surface up to the point
of mail entry. The door should be set back 6” to 8” back from the
front face of the curb or the road edge. However, you should check
with your local postmaster to ensure that the mailbox is installed
according to local regulations. It is important to note that it is not the
responsibility of mail carriers to open mailboxes that are locked,
accept keys for this purpose, or lock mailboxes after delivery of the
mail.

To install the bolt mounted pedestal, begin by digging a hole for the
concrete footing and then prepare the concrete. The top surface of
the footing should be about 12” by 18”. See the illustration for the
relative position of the rectangular footing to the pedestal and
mailbox. The concrete should extend into the ground 24” or greater if
your local frost line is deeper. Installing the concrete below the frost
line will prevent movement during ground freezing and thawing. The
bottom of the hole for the concrete footing should be filled with a
depth of about 6” of gravel to promote drainage under the post. The
top of the footing should be sloped for water runoff.

When digging the hole for the footing, be careful to not puncture
water, sewer, or gas lines.

Hardware for attaching the pedestal to the concrete footing is not
included. J-bolts are shown in the illustration as an example. The
concrete footing should include reinforcing steel and four (4) 1/2”
anchor studs protruding at least 1” above the concrete surface.
Place the anchor studs in a 4” x 10” pattern in the concrete to align
with the holes in the pedestal base.

When the concrete has cured sufficiently, install four (4) leveling nuts
on the anchor studs. Set the pedestal on the leveling nuts with the
four (4) anchor studs protruding through the holes in the pedestal
base plate. Adjust the leveling nuts to square up the pedestal.
Install four (4) nuts and washers on the anchor studs and tighten
securely.
