Dig a 24" deep hole in the desired location and insert a 4x4 wood post.
Leave 48" exposed above ground
(53" above ground required for the
Woodhaven Sign Post).
Fill in the hole with pre-mix concrete (not
included) and level the wood post. Once the concrete has been given
time to cure slide the decorative post over the wood 4x4 ensuring that
the base sits flush with the ground.
Optional Ground Screw: Twist the screw into the ground and attach a
4x4 post (approx. 48" length, not included) with the Sx lag bolts
provided. Slide the decorative post over the 4x4.
Westbrook Planter Arm Installation:
Fasten the planter arm to the
post as shown. Use a 3in lag bolt with a washer for the top and a 3in
screw with a plastic snap cap in the bottom of the arm.
NOTE:
Planter installation only applies to the Westbrook Plus model.
We recommend drilling a 3/4 inch drainage hole in the bottom of the
planter arm (See
Diagram 3).
For the Newport Plus, Westbrook Plus, and Charleston the mailbox arm
requires the use of a mounting board or bracket to secure the mailbox.
Using wood screws attach the board (or bracket) to the mailbox arm.
Next, attach the mailbox to the board by securing screws through the
holes on each side of the mailbox.
(mailbox, mailbox mounting board, and screws not included)

For the Westbrook Plus, Newport Plus, and Charleston models, the arm
is installed on the front of the post. Two lag bolts with washers are
required in the top holes of the arm. Secure the bottom of the arm with
one 3in screw using a plastic snap cap to cover the screw head (See
diagram
A). For the Newport Plus Double, the arms are installed on
either side of the post using two 3in lag bolts with washers in the top
holes of each arm and one 3in screw with a plastic snap cap in the
bottom of each arm (See
diagram
8).
Woodhaven Address Arm Installation:
To install the arm for the
Woodhaven Sign Post configuration flip the arm upside down as shown
and secure it to the post using a 3in screw with a plastic snap cap at the
top and a 3in lag bolt at the bottom. Suitable for plaques measuring up
to 14 inches in width (plaque not included).
The Newport Plus Double arms also require the use of a mounting
board (or bracket) to secure the mailbox. Use wood screws to attach
the board to the mailbox arm at a 90 degree angle as shown above.
Next, attach the mailboxes to the boards by securing screws through
the holes on each side of the mailbox.
