Mailbox and 6x6 In Ground Post · Mailboxes & Posts
Installing the In-ground Post
1Watch our "Preparing Your Post for Installation" video.
2Time to dig! Check for utility lines first. You need a hole about 12" in diameter and 16" deep for the 6x6 post. Note the "front" directional sticker on the post and orient accordingly.
3Add ½ a bag of quick setting concrete to a few inches below top of hole.
4Add water! You want it to hold the post but still be moveable — like a concrete smoothie. (Stir a bit.)
5Check final orientation height, and for level in both directions.
6Cap off the hole with extra dirt, packing down as you go. Check level as you tamp.
7Check level one last time and let concrete cure for an hour or so. Wash off any concrete residue.

2The mounting plate is centered on the mailbox. You can shift it rearward to push the mailbox about 5" forward for a more overhung look.
3Set the mailbox on the post and use these 4 bolts to attach. TIP: Partially start all 4 bolts before tightening. Do not overtighten.

12V LED Light Upgrade on New Mailbox
What's included
✓Set of wired LED panels — pre-installed on your mailbox
✓“Y” wire harness — pre-wired to the panels
✓In-line dimmer
✓Power supply — one of two options chosen at checkout: a 12V AC/DC converter, or a 120V AC power supply
12V LED Light Upgrade on New Mailbox
What you'll need
•Wire connectors / wire nuts
•A power connection at the mailbox for your converter / power supply

Connecting your LEDs
1Your LED panels are already mounted and wired to the “Y” harness inside the mailbox — no shell removal is needed.
2Route the wiring down to the base of the mailbox and into the post cavity — run it through a hole near the base and up through the top of the post (drill one if it isn't already there).
3Connect the in-line dimmer to the “Y” harness output so it sits between the LED panels and the power supply.
4Connect your power supply to the dimmer using wire nuts — either the 12V AC/DC converter or the 120V AC power supply, whichever you selected at checkout. (A timer can be wired in here if you're using one.)
5Set the mailbox on the post, tucking the wires into the post cavity, and secure with the four bolts.
6Restore power and test — the address numbers should illuminate. Use the dimmer to set your brightness.

LED Panel Installation
1Remove the mailbox from the post by removing the four screws attaching the base to the post tabs. Set it on a soft surface to avoid scratching the finish.
2Run the hardwired line into your post through a hole near the base and up through the top (drill a hole through the post if one isn't present). Tape the wire off there while you work through the next steps.
3To attach the light panels to the inner kit, the outer shell must come off: unscrew the six bolts connecting the outer shell to the inner housing, then slide the shell off onto a soft surface. Be careful to avoid scratching the shell.
4When observing the LED panels, note that there is a LEFT and a RIGHT — the wire will be at the back of each panel.
5Align the middle hole on the LED panel bracket with the second rivet on the inner kit. Using the included self-tapping screws (two per side), attach the bracket to the inner kit with a drill. Repeat on the other side.

LED Panel Installation (cont.)
6Bring the wires from the LED panels together at the base of the mailbox and plug each panel wire into the “Y” harness. (You may need to remove the post plate for this step.)
7Carefully slide the outer shell back onto the mailbox and secure with the six screws you removed earlier.
8Connect the in-line dimmer to the “Y” harness output at the base of the mailbox — the dimmer sits between the LED panels and the power supply.
9Connect your power supply to the dimmer using wire nuts — either the 12V AC/DC converter or the 120V AC power supply, whichever you chose at checkout. (A timer can be wired in here if you're using one.)
10Set the mailbox on the post, tucking the wires into the post cavity as you do. Use the four bolts you removed to attach the mailbox. TIP: partially start all four bolts before tightening — and do not overtighten.
