Easy Install. Built to Last.

Mark the location

Mark a spot 6–8 inches back from the curb where your mailbox will be installed. This keeps it USPS-compliant.

Door should face the road for carrier access.

Attach the post

Place the mailbox base upside down. Attach the provided post to the bottom of the mailbox with the provided screws. (Some bases have the post already attached.)

Dig the post hole

Dig the post hole the same depth as the post (~18–24" deep) and 6" wide.

USPS: the bottom of the mailbox should sit 41–45" above the road surface — check your depth.

Optional rock bed

Also dig a rectangle or circle 5" all the way around the base and 2" deep (for rocks later).

Set the mailbox

Place the mailbox post into the hole, ensuring the base sits approximately 1 inch below ground level.

Tip: If you ordered a rock bed border, position it around the base first.

Pour the concrete

Pour concrete into the hole and around the mailbox base. Concrete should be slightly below the ground line and go up the base about ½ – 1 inch.

Level Mailbox

Use a level to check both top and sides.

Adjust if needed before concrete sets.

Add decorative rocks

Pour decorative rocks of your choice around the base. 1 bag should work, use 2 if you make a larger rock bed.

Have LED numbers? Checkout power options below

Mark the location

Position the mailbox 6–8 inches back from the curb, with the door facing the street.

Dig two post holes

Measure the spacing between the two posts. Dig two holes approximately 6 inches wide and 8–12 inches deep, matching the length of the posts.

Prepare the rock bed

Dig a rectangle approximately 16 × 26 inches around the base, about 2 inches deep, for decorative rocks or the included rock bed.

Set the mailbox

If included, place the rock bed border in the rectangle first. Lower both posts into the holes, with the base approximately 1 inch below ground level.

Pour the concrete

Pour concrete into the post holes and around the mailbox base. Keep concrete slightly below ground level, extending approximately ½–1 inch up the base. Leave room for decorative rocks.

Level the mailbox

Check the top and sides with a level. Adjust before the concrete sets and allow it to cure according to the concrete manufacturer's instructions.

Finish and turn on the lights

Add decorative rocks around the base. If fitted with solar lights, turn on the switch underneath each light and select Warm, Neutral, or Cool White. Position the mailbox where the solar lights receive direct sunlight.

Wipe the mailbox as needed with a microfiber cloth and ZEP or Sheila Shine, following the cleaner’s label instructions.

Mark the location

Mark the position 6–8 inches back from the curb to the front of the mailbox frame.

Prepare the concrete footer

Use standard 2 × 4 lumber to build a footer frame at 30"x30" minimum. Or Use rock bed if included with your order (36"x36"). Excavate the ground inside the frame approximately 4–6 inches deep, with the bottom of the frame at ground level.

Position the Vaultbox

Place the Vaultbox in the center of the frame. Its bottom should sit approximately 2 inches above ground level, about halfway up the frame.

Do not allow the Vaultbox to sit below ground level.

Insert the anchors and level

Insert the provided concrete anchors through the four holes in the bottom of the Vaultbox. Check that the Vaultbox is level before pouring concrete.

Pour the concrete

Pour concrete on all sides so it fills the entire base. The concrete should extend approximately ½ inch above the bottom of the Vaultbox. Optional rebar can be added during this step.

Keep the LED wire out of the concrete.

Allow the concrete to cure

Follow the concrete manufacturer's curing instructions. Remove the footer frame afterward if desired.

Finish the landscaping

Place decorative rocks along the sides. Keep rocks clear of the rear door and check that it opens fully. Replace any grass or landscaping removed around the frame.

LED numbers require the correct transformer or compatible solar supply. Never connect the mailbox LEDs directly to standard 120V power.

Choose the location

Position the front of the Vaultbox frame 6–8 inches behind the curb. Allow clearance for all doors to open.

The Vaultbox base is 26" x 25"

Prepare a smooth, level slab

Pour a concrete slab at least 30" × 30" and 5–6" thick. Finish the surface smooth and level. Allow it to fully cure according to the concrete manufacturer before drilling. If using an existing pad or sidewalk, confirm it meets these dimensions and thickness requirements and is sound and level.

The Vaultbox base is 26" x 25" so you can make the concrete pad larger if you prefer

Position the Vaultbox

Place the Vaultbox on the cured concrete pad. Check that it is level and all doors open freely. Locate the four mounting holes in the base and mark their positions on the concrete.

Drill the concrete

Move the Vaultbox aside and drill the marked holes with a hammer drill and 1/2" masonry bit for the provided anchors. Follow the anchor instructions for hole depth, cleaning and required distance from concrete edges. If using Tapcons, use the bit size specified for those screws.

Secure the Vaultbox

Clear drilling dust from the holes. Reposition the Vaultbox and secure it through all four base mounting holes using the provided concrete anchors. Tighten according to the anchor instructions, then check stability and door operation.

Alternative: use suitable Tapcon concrete screws with washers, following the screw manufacturer's installation requirements.

Position and dig

Position the front of the mailbox opening 6–8 inches behind the curb. Dig an area approximately 25 × 25 inches and 6 inches deep. Adjust for uneven ground.

Set the pillar

Place the pillar in the center of the hole with the mailbox facing the street.

Level the mailbox

Check front-to-back and side-to-side. Adjust the pillar until it is level.

Pour the concrete

Pour 3–4 bags of fast-set concrete around the pillar. Slope the concrete away from the pillar for drainage. Follow the concrete manufacturer's curing instructions.

Add rocks and clean

Add decorative rocks around the base and clean the mailbox with a microfiber cloth.

Connect the solar panel

If ordered with solar power, attach the solar panel to the base using the provided screws and plug it in.

For landscape power or a transformer, follow the separate electrical instructions. Consult a licensed electrician for new wiring, outlets, or circuit modifications.
