Hello Jules, there is 55" from the bottom of the post to the top of the cross member. This will need to be installed at least 18" in the ground.

        What is the distance from bottom of the post to the top of the cross member? I have an 11 inch mailbox which leaves only 7 inches above the box (24 inch hole and 41 inch top of cross member) for me to see the "reveal" of the post and decorative shape.

        Figures don’t seem to make sense. With 55” to crossmember leaves only 10”-14” in the ground to get to the 41”- 45” recommended height. Measurements in illustration show post sunk 24”, leaves crossmember approx 30”

        By|Jan 26, 2026

            Lori, the board that the mailbox will rest on is 17-1/4" long. With the proper fastening, a 24" mailbox will be able to be mounted to the board.

                when can I prime and paint the wood?
                ByMar 15, 2025
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                You will need to wait until the wood is dry before applying any primer or paint. A simple test is to pour a small amount of water onto the surface of the wood. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet. If the water is quickly absorbed into the wood, then it's ready to be primed and painted.

                    Home depot should be ashamed to sell a product that is delivered chipped and split - and can't be returned!

                          It was disappointing that HD only had two of these...
                          It was disappointing that HD only had two of these in stock at the Rutland store and both had plenty of defects. It's surprising that whoever constructed these could use lumber with so many defects and then HD quality control would put them up for sale. It's only a mailbox post, but one still expects better from HD.

                          10” shorter than previous. But good quality and secure. Question: how long will it last?
