How to Install Your Garden Wall Mailbox by Post & Porch, home of curb appeal accessories and modern mailboxes for the front porch and beyond

Step 1: Choose the Perfect Spot for Your Wall Mailbox

Select a location near your entryway that’s easy for your mail carrier to reach. Since this is a wall-mounted mailbox, the USPS recommends installing it 41 to 45 inches from the ground for comfort and accessibility.

Step 2: Mark the Drill Holes for Your Hanging Mailbox

Hold The Garden Wall Mailbox in place where you’d like it mounted. Use a level to ensure it’s straight, then mark the drill points with a pencil. Proper alignment ensures your wall mailbox looks professional and adds to your curb appeal.

Step 3: Drill the Pilot Holes for Your Wall-Mounted Mailbox

With your drill, create pilot holes on your marked spots. Use masonry bits if you’re installing the hanging mailbox on brick, stucco, concrete siding, or stone siding.

Step 4: Insert Anchors for a Secure Wall Mailbox Installation

Anchors are especially important for masonry or stucco walls. They keep your wall-mounted mailbox stable over time, even with daily use.

Line up The Garden Wall-Mounted Mailbox with your drilled holes, then fasten it with the included screws. Use your level once more to make sure the hanging mailbox is straight before tightening completely.

Open and close the lid, check for smooth movement, and give the mailbox a gentle pull to confirm it’s secure. Once it passes these checks, your wall-mounted mailbox installation is complete! Woohoo!
