Parcel Box & Pillar - Installation Guide
Suitable for...
Our Parcel Box and Pillar letterbox share the same style of installation bracket, just different sizes.
There are two forms of installation. Bolting onto a concrete slab, or cementing into the ground. Depending on which one you've ordered, follow the steps below to install your parcel or pillar box.
Please note this is merely a guide and it is up to you how you may want to install your letterbox.
Onto Concrete Installation
When installing onto a concrete slab, the installation bracket will be supplied already attached to the bottom of the box.
You will need...
- Dynabolts
- Drill
- Firstly remove the bracket from the bottom of the box by unscrewing the screws in the nutserts.
- Then simply bolt the two outer extensions of the bracket to the concrete or solid surface through the four pre-drilled holes in the bracket.
- Place the box down onto the bracket and re-screw the screws into the nut serts to securely attach the box to the installation bracket. NOTE: For Pillar boxes, you need to remove the lower back panel to gain access to the base of the box where the bolts attach to the bracket underneath. This can be done by unscrewing the bolts inside the rear door on the two front corners of the shelf. There are two tabs at the base of the panel that slot into the two slots in the base of the box and the installation bracket to hold the panel in place.
Done!
Into Ground Installation
When you receive your Parcel Box or Pillar for into the ground installation, the bracket will be supplied separate due to its size. It has a base plate and four prongs that are inserted into the ground.
You will need...
- Tools for digging (ground drill works best)
- Quick set concrete
- Spirit level
- Using the four prongs on the bracket as a guide, dig four holes in your desired installation spot, deep enough so that the bracket sits at your desired height and wide enough to comfortably fit the prongs plus concrete around them. Ideally the flat base plate will be flush with or just above the ground the ground. Both parcel boxes and Pillars have a false floor so make sure to account for this.
- Place the four prongs into the four holes, ensuring it's level.
- Fill holes with quick set concrete + water and allow to set.
- Once concrete has set, you can fix the pillar or parcel box to the bracket by screwing in the 4x bolts into the nutserts through the base of the box. NOTE: For Pillar boxes, you need to remove the lower back panel to gain access to the base of the box where the bolts attach to the bracket underneath. This can be done by unscrewing the bolts inside the rear door on the two front corners of the shelf. There are two tabs at the base of the panel that slot into the two slots in the base of the box and the installation bracket to hold the panel in place.
