You may never have thought about it, but there are federal rules governing how your mailbox is supposed to be installed in your yard. The rules are fairly simple and are designed to make the job easier for mail carriers so they can efficiently deliver the mail. Take note of the regulations, and make any adjustment that are necessary.
Mailbox Design Rules
All mailbox designs are reviewed and must be approved by the Postmaster General before the boxes are manufactured and sold. If you want a custom-designed mailbox, you must seek the approval of the local postmaster. Any mailbox that has a lock must be approved by the Postmaster General
