Place the post into the hole at the required location and
make sure that the at portion of the post is parallel to the
road. Use a wood plank and masking tape to temporarily
brace the post in place. Ideally, level the top of the post so
that the front of the mailbox will be 0.5° - 1° lower than the
rear, this will allow water to shed o the front overhang of
the mailbox.
