Us mail box height
The standard height of a US Mail mailbox is typically between 41 and 45 inches (104 to 114 cm) from the ground to the top of the mailbox. This is specified by the United States Postal Service (USPS) in their regulations.
Here are the specific guidelines from the USPS:
- The mailbox must be at least 41 inches (104 cm) above the ground to ensure that mail carriers can easily deposit mail into the box.
- The mailbox must not exceed 45 inches (114 cm) above the ground to ensure that mail carriers can easily reach the box.
- The mailbox must be mounted on a post or bracket that is sturdy enough to support the weight of the mailbox and the mail it contains.
It's worth noting that these guidelines are minimum requirements, and some mailboxes may be taller or shorter depending on the specific design and installation. However, the standard height of 41-45 inches is the most common and widely accepted height for US Mail mailboxes.
