This design will provide long-lasting durability, ensuring your mailbox stays vital for years. Building it is fun and budget-friendly. Please follow the instructions carefully to understand when to cut and organize each piece. Pressure-treated pine is a popular choice of wood for this type of design. It's also very durable and budget-friendly.
 
The bottom of a mailbox should be 41 to 45 inches above the road surface. This height allows mail carriers to drop off mail without leaving their vehicle. You can check your local post office regulations for specific mailbox height requirements.
 
Here are some other mailbox guidelines:
Position the mailbox 6 to 8 inches back from the curb. 
If there is no raised curb, contact your local postmaster for guidance. 
The mailbox should be properly attached to the post so it doesn't fly away if struck. 
The numbers on the mailbox should be at least one inch high.
