Usps height of rural mailbox

According to the United States Postal Service (USPS) guidelines, the maximum height for a rural mailbox is 41 inches (104 cm) above the ground. This is specified in the USPS Publication 32, "Rural Mailbox Installation and Maintenance Guidelines".

Here are some additional guidelines to keep in mind:

• The mailbox should be installed at a height that allows the mail carrier to easily deposit mail without having to bend or stretch.
• The mailbox should be installed at a distance of at least 6 inches (15 cm) from the curb or road edge to ensure safe and easy access.
• The mailbox should be installed on a sturdy post or bracket that can withstand wind and weather conditions.
• The mailbox should be designed and installed to prevent mail from being stolen or damaged.

It's worth noting that these guidelines are subject to change, and it's always a good idea to check with your local post office or USPS website for the most up-to-date information on rural mailbox installation and maintenance.
