MAILBOX AND POST
Mailbox and post must conform to the specifications indicated in the following drawings.
The mailbox post shall be at least 8 inches square (7.5” finished size), treated for underground use and at least six feet long to provide adequate burial depth for strength and proper elevation of the mailbox to meet the local Post Office requirements.

See the specifications listed below. All currently installed mailboxes and posts are “grandfathered” until the need for painting, replacement and/or repair are needed at which time this item shall be made to meet these current requirements.
