Frequently Asked Questions
Adjusting the height of your mailbox can be challenging. With our mailbox posts, you can easily adjust the height using a single bolt. This allows you to customize the position of your mailbox based on your preferences. We understand the importance of visibility and aesthetics in your mailbox.
How far should the base and post be installed from the road surface?
According to the USPS, your mailbox should be set back 6" to 8” from the front face of the curb or road edge to the mailbox door.
Once you receive your mailbox kit, install the mounting board and mailbox onto the boom arm first. Lay the boom arm down so that the front of the mailbox is at a desired location, with the back of the boom pointing toward the ditch/away from the road. The location of the back of your boom arm is where the base pipe should be installed.
Is there a particular requirement for the height and placement by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS)?
Yes, only to the extent indicated above and approximately 42" from the road surface (or shoulder) and the bottom of the box. According to the USPS, a final convenient positioning can be agreed upon with the authorization of your regular letter carrier.
SwingClear, with its easy one-bolt variable height adjustment after installation, has become a favorite among postal workers. At our mailbox post company, we are committed to continuously improving our products to ensure they meet our customers' specific requirements.
My base location is in a drop-down ditch, so what do you recommend?
We provide a wide range of mailbox solutions. When the installation location is 6” or more below the road’s surface, a SwingClear Upright Extension (model 025) is needed. This allows you to adjust the height of your mailbox up to an additional 21" above the road's surface to meet the USPS's recommendations.

Can concrete be used with the base if I prefer?
Yes, some people prefer to add a small amount of concrete in exceptionally light soil, but it is usually completely unnecessary. Concrete can sometimes contribute to post movement caused by frost action.

Rural Mailbox Post: Our Best Seller
Our Rural Mailbox Post is the ultimate solution for your mailbox needs. With its swinging boom arm, your mailbox can easily swing up and out of harm's way if impacted, automatically recentering itself.
It has a long-lasting design suitable for all locations and climates, especially in snowbelt regions, rural America, and high-traffic roadways nationwide because it was constructed with galvanized steel and a durable powder coat.
Weight-Tested and Built to Perform
We believe in the functionality and performance of our #1 post. We tested it by adding a 25-pound weight inside an 8-pound mailbox. The results? It remained unaffected. Our posts are built to handle whatever comes their way.
