Congratulations on the purchase of your Mail Boss® surface mount post. The post is constructed of tough 14 gauge galvanized,
powder coated steel. Included with the Mail Boss® post are four 12 mm bolts for attachment to your mailbox. In order to mount this post
on a curb or sidewalk, you will also need a Mail Boss® base plate.
Instructions listed below are only guidelines: customers should contact the local post office of mail carrier before installing the
mailbox to ensure its correct placement and height at the street. Generally, mailboxes are installed at a height of 41 to 45 inches from the
road surface to the inside floor of the mailbox or point of mail entry and are set back 6-8 inches from the front face of the curb or road
edge to the mailbox door.
If you require assistance with assembly or part replacement or for any other matter, contact the toll-free Epoch Design Service Center
from anywhere in the Continental United States, Monday through Friday, 9 AM – 5 PM PST at 1-800-589-7990. You may also email your
request or comments to info@mailboss.com and a service representative will respond.
Thank You.
Locate the desired spot
for your mailbox and
mark a spot on the
sidewalk approximately
17” back from the edge
of the street.
Center the base
plate over your
mark.
1
Using the 8 holes in the base plate as a template,
drill 8 holes with an appropriate masonry bit.
*You may be able to skip this step if you
are using self-tapping masonry bolts.
2
Attach and secure 8 masonry anchors (there are various
kinds, typically ¼” x 3” masonry “outdoor” screws are
adequate) through the base plate and into the curb.
3
Slide the surface mount post onto
the base plate. Using the 6 bolts
included with the base plate,
secure the post to the base plate by
tightening the 6 bolts.
The top of your post should
now be 30 to 34 inches
above street level.
You can now attach your
Mail Boss® Mailbox to the post.
