The Owner's Insights on the Yard Craft Madison Mailbox Post
The Madison is a replacement for the leaning, rotting or tired wooden post at the end of the drive. The mailbox is one of the first things a guest sees from the street, and a clean post with a proper arm tells them the place is looked after before they reach the door.
It's made from cellular PVC-vinyl, so there's nothing to rot, splinter or repaint. Yard Craft lists it at 60 inches tall with an overall depth of 26 inches, and it comes with the screws, a mailbox mounting plate and a touch-up kit. Each post is handcrafted by Amish builders, per Yard Craft.
Two honest notes. This is the post only: the mailbox is sold separately, and so are the 7 ft pressure-treated 4x4 and the concrete it mounts on. And it's a dig-and-set install, not a bolt-down, so plan an afternoon and let the concrete cure before you hang the mailbox.
Why You'll Love the Madison Mailbox Post
-
No rot, no repainting. Cellular PVC-vinyl holds up outside without the sanding and sealing a wood post needs.
-
Curb appeal in photos. A crisp post with a distinctive arm lifts the street view of the property.
-
Ready for your mailbox. The included mounting plate takes a standard mailbox, so you can reuse yours or upgrade.
-
Touch-up kit included. Fix small scuffs without hunting for matching paint.
-
Amish-crafted. Each post is handcrafted by Amish builders, per Yard Craft.

Choosing a Mailbox
The mounting plate takes a standard mailbox, so the one you already have may work. If you want a matched look, Yard Craft makes two aluminum mailboxes in bronze: the Whitehall and the larger Balmoral, which appear with this post in some photos above. They're sold separately. Ask us about adding one to your order.
Installation: What Arrives and What You Need
In the box: the Madison post, screws, the mailbox mounting plate and a touch-up kit. You supply a 7 ft pressure-treated 4x4, concrete, a cordless drill or screw gun, a 3/16 in drill bit, a measuring tape, a level, a shovel and a wheelbarrow to mix the concrete. Call 811 before you dig so underground lines get marked. Set the 4x4 plumb in concrete and let it cure, mount the post on it with the included screws, then attach your mailbox. Check USPS and local rules for mailbox height and distance from the road before you dig.
Delivery and Lead Time
Yard Craft quotes about 1 to 2 weeks from order to delivery. That's an average, not a promise, so call or text us for today's number. Delivery is included to the lower 48 states. Inspect the post and the touch-up packet with the driver before they leave. If anything is damaged, you can refuse it on the spot.
Warranty, Returns and the Fine Print
Yard Craft gives the Madison post a 1-year limited warranty covering its craftsmanship. Normal wear and tear, fading of exterior surfaces and general aging from the weather aren't covered. Returns for a valid reason are accepted within 30 days of delivery, but they must be approved first. You pay the return freight, and restocking fees may apply. Cancellations are refunded within 10 business days of ordering, unless work on your order has already started.
