Installing a letter box is a straightforward process that can greatly enhance both the functionality and appearance of your front yard. Whether you’re upgrading your home’s exterior or setting up a new property, securing your letter box properly ensures it stays stable and lasts for years.
Step 1: Choose the Right Position
Select a flat, stable surface where the letter box will be easily accessible for mail delivery. Make sure the location complies with your local council or postal service requirements.
Step 2: Mark the Drilling Points
Place the letter box in the desired position and use a pencil or marker to outline the base. Mark the drilling points at the bottom where the expansion bolts will be inserted.
Step 3: Drill the Holes
Remove the letter box and drill holes into the ground at the marked spots. The holes should be deep and wide enough to securely fit the expansion bolts.
Step 4: Fix the Expansion Bolts
Position the letter box back over the drilled holes. Insert the expansion bolts through the base of the letter box and into the ground. Tighten them from inside the box, at the bottom, to ensure a clean and secure installation.
(Our letter boxes are designed to be fastened from the inside bottom, which improves both security and appearance.)
Step 5: Check Stability
Once all bolts are tightened, gently shake the letter box to ensure it’s stable and firmly fixed. Make any final adjustments if necessary.
Step 6: Finishing Touches
Wipe down the letter box to remove dust from drilling. You can also apply sealant around the base for additional weather protection if desired.
Why This Installation Method Works Best
-
Neat appearance – No visible bolts from the outside.
-
Improved security – Bolts are hidden inside, making it harder to tamper with.
-
Long-lasting stability – Expansion bolts provide a firm grip, even in harsh outdoor conditions.
A properly installed letter box is not only practical but also adds a clean, modern touch to your front yard. With the right tools and a few simple steps, you can complete the installation quickly and securely.
