Common mailbox installation methods

01 · Traditional

The most common setup. The aluminum leg installs directly into the ground with fast-setting concrete for a clean, durable curbside installation.

02 · Modern

Selected mailbox systems use two slim aluminum legs. Both legs are leveled and secured in concrete for a balanced, modern appearance.

03 · Hard Surface

For compatible mailbox systems installed on an existing concrete slab or hard surface using the appropriate mounting plate and anchors.
