Installing Ashford Posts: Basic Guidelines

PDF Format Download This Page As A Printable PDF

Here are all the instructions you will need to complete installation of the Ashford line’s faux rock post. A simple install is guaranteed with our concise, step-by-step instruction, and the post itself is lightweight and easy to handle. You’ll be using basic tools that you probably own already. No need for a mason or a hired crew! Follow our guidelines and you’ll have your post in place in no time flat.

Directions:

   

1. On the bottom of the Post there is a cut out template for a 4” or 5” structural post. Cut out hole for the structural post. The cut out hole does not have to be perfect, you can have up to a 2” gap. The template is only a guideline.

 

2. Dig post hole so the bottom of the hole is larger in diameter than the top. The structural post should be in the ground 18” to 24” and be at least 24” above the ground.

 

3. Set post over structural post.

         
   

4. Pour concrete inside the Post with at least 10” of concrete. Vibrate the concrete by tapping the side of the Post with your foot. Make sure the concrete works its way down around the structural post.

 

5. If using a mailbox post, insert the mailbox. Then insert push tab into the hole located in the back of Post. The push tab should go through the Post and mailbox. This supports the mailbox and secures it to the Post.

 

6. Secure the cap with included screws.

         
   

7. Level post before concrete sets
