Mailbox Specs

List of Materials for the Mailbox Posts (Photos Below)

The original instructions required Cedar posts or planks. However, Cedar may not be currently available for individual purchase. If Cedar is not available, you may use pressure treated wood of the same dimensions. We recommend allowing the pressure treated wood to "dry" first before applying paint.
