Mailbox Post Kit Assembly Instructions

Note: Most assembly should be completed before setting the post in the hole.
On the main post locate the pre-drilled dowel pin holes for the crossarms.
Place dowel pins in crossarm holes. Crossarms will face front (street) and back (residence).
(If you have the dualie MBP the holes should face left and right as viewed from the street)
Attach crossarms: long on front, short on back (Dualie equal size side-to-side).
Using pre-drilled pilot holes apply glue then screw the cross-arms to the post.
Attach curved support brace to front of post (Dualie on the sides).
Using pre-drilled pilot holes apply glue then screw curved support brace(s) to the post.
Attach mailbox mounting plate.
If you purchased a base, slide it on to the bottom of the post (base sits at ground level).
Dig post hole minimum of 24” deep (up to 30” deep) and twice as wide as the post.
Add gravel or crushed stone in the bottom of the hole.
Set the assembly in the hole (base will sit at ground level).
Backfill around the post with more gravel. This allows water to drain away.
Apply a bead of caulk around top of post base to prevent water from collecting between.
Screw and glue post cap down.
