Step 1: Choose where to place your box
1)
Accessibility:
The box should typically be visible from the street so the delivery people can find it quickly.
2)
Light
The ParcelHome 3 is recharged by solar power. Only the top sheet needs to receive light for
the system to work. The box does not require direct sunlight, but should be placed in an
area where it can directly see a significant amount of sky – if you are looking from the box,
you should have at least 25% of sky or sun reflection on light-coloured buildings. If no such
spot is available, the box will likely work, but please choose one of the best-lit areas of your
property. As a general rule of thumb, areas where plants grow well are good.
3)
Areas to avoid:
•
Areas where they may obstruct passage on the street
•
Indoor or roofed areas (e.g. inside a shed or an open shed)
•
Places which are often damp
•
Places where moss grows (close to the level of the top sheet of the box)
•
Places where are lot of leaves fall
4)
Size and surface type
At a minimum the wall must allow an item position from 0.12m high to 1.10m and 0.5m
wide.
