Mailbox height ctl

The standard height for a mailbox is typically between 41 and 45 inches (104 to 114 cm) above the ground. This is specified by the United States Postal Service (USPS) in their publication "Mailbox Installation Guidelines".

Here are the specific guidelines for mailbox height:

• The bottom of the mailbox should be at least 41 inches (104 cm) above the ground.
• The top of the mailbox should be no higher than 45 inches (114 cm) above the ground.
• The mailbox should be installed so that the opening is at least 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) above the ground.

It's worth noting that these guidelines are for standard mailboxes, and there may be variations for specific types of mailboxes or installations. For example, mailboxes installed in areas with high snowfall or heavy rain may need to be installed at a slightly higher height to ensure that the mail can still be delivered.

It's also important to check with your local post office or postal carrier to confirm the specific mailbox height requirements for your area.
