How do I maintain my mailpost of Mayne?
Our mailbox posts are designed to be maintenance free, and usually only require the occasional rinse with a garden hose. But if a more serious cleaning is necessary due to extremely dirty atmospheric conditions, a soft bristled brush with detergent or even a mild bleach solution in conjunction with a light power washer will do the trick. Cleaning products should always be tested on a hidden section of your product before using on exposed areas.

Mailbox Installation
Product Installation:
Tools Required:
- Shovel - Level
- Tape measure - Ratchet wrench
- Cordless drill - Phillips drill bit
- 7/16" socket
- Short handled Phillips screwdriver
- 3/8" drill bit required for Rockport
Optional Items:
- Quick set concrete
- Address plaques
- Flowers for the planter (Signature Plus and Westbrook Plus models)
Installation Summary (see instruction sheets for specific details):
1. Dig a hole approximately 3ft deep.
2. Set a 7ft 4"x4" wood post (not included) into the hole leaving about 4 ft remaining above ground.
3. For added strength we recommend setting the post in place with quick set concrete mix.
4. Ensure the post is level and allow time for the concrete to cure before proceeding to the next step.
5. Slide the decorative Mayne mail post over the wood post. Make sure the bottom of the decorative posts sits flush on ground.
6. Using the hardware provided attach the mailbox arm to the post. Instructions provided with each post style include specific installation details. Note: For the Dover and Signature Plus you will need to preassemble the paper holder/mailbox arm before attaching it to the post.
7. Using the hardware provided attach the planter to your decorative post (planter applies to the Signature Plus and Westbrook Plus models).
8. As a final step attach your mailbox (not included) and optional address plaques (not included).
Note: 4x4 wood posts, mailboxes and mailbox mounting hardware NOT included with any Mayne mailbox posts.
We recommend a large mailbox (approx. 9"width x 12"height x 20"length)
Weight suggestion is 4lbs to 16lbs (heavier boxes can be accommodated by securing one or two lag bolts through the back of the mailbox directly into the post)
The paper holder/mailbox is molded specifically to allow the mailbox to sit directly on the arm (no brackets or mounting plate needed).
1. Inside most medium sized mailboxes there are 4 holes in the floor of the box. Set the mailbox on the arm and mark the location of these holes.
2. Remove the mailbox from the arm and pre-drill the 4 holes through the plastic arm with a 3/8" drill bit.
3. Set the mailbox back on the arm and secure it with 4 nuts and bolts. Using a 1 ¾” bolt is adequate for most mailboxes.accident

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is your Guarantee policy?

What are Mayne mail posts made of?
Mayne mail posts are rotomolded using high quality polyethylene. The resin includes built in UV inhibitors offering long lasting protection from the elements (products won’t yellow or discolor).
What is included with a Mayne mailbox post?
We include the decorative post, mailbox arm, and planter (planter applies to our Newport and Westbrook models). In the arm package you’ll find the necessary hardware and instruction sheets for that particular model.
How are Mayne posts installed?
Mayne mail posts install easily over a 4x4 wood post (pressure treated recommended). The wood post is NOT included and can be purchased from your local hardware or lumber retailer. For added strength we recommend securing the wood post in place with quick set concrete.
How difficult will my product be to assemble?
Assembly is rated as moderate and of course depends on the mail post and the person assembling. All mail posts come with detailed instructions and technical support is available to help you with assembly.
Are mailboxes included with Mayne mailbox posts?
No, mailboxes are NOT included. Due to the various styles, sizes, and price points we encourage to the customer to purchase their own mailbox from their local hardware store or preferred online retailer.
How do I mount my mailbox on a Mayne post?
Mailboxes are typically mounted using brackets, mounting plates, or by securing the box directly to the arm using screws or bolts. The Newport Plus and Westbrook Plus require mounting brackets or plates. The Dover, Signature Plus, Rockport, and Liberty posts have mailbox arms that are molded specifically to allow the mailbox to sit flush on the arm. The box can be secured using a nut and bolt combination (typically four 1 ¾” bolts is adequate).
Can I paint a Mayne mail post?
While there are paints available for vinyl products nothing has been made specifically for polyethylene. We don’t recommend painting your Mayne products and choosing to do so is done at your own discretion and will void your warranty.
Can I purchase address plaques?
Yes, various styles are available that mount on this side of the paper holders, planters, and vertically in the inset panel of the post. These items are available through Whitehall Products (Tel: 800-728-2164).
What is the best way to care for my Mayne mail post?
To clean your Mayne products simply wash with water and soap solution. For best results we recommend using a pressure washer.
