Questions and Answers for Architectural Mailboxes 38 in. Steel 1-Mailbox Post in Sand

A:  I bolted mine to my wooden deck.

A:  Yes this should work. If you're unsure contact the post office.

They also suggest to not bury your post more than 24-inches deep. Requirements vary, so to be safe, I would recommend contacting your local mail carrier/USPS for their specific height requirements. Thanks for reaching out!
