Bolt Mounted Pedestal Installation Instructions

U.S.P.S. APPROVED

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.
