how far apart are the vertical mounting holes: could a mailbox be mounted on it?

I do not think a mailbox could be mounted on it. It would not come out far enough.

i don't think it is large enough for a mailbox, the holes are about 3-4" apart.

The mounting holes are 5.5 inches apart. I see no way you could mount a mailbox on it though. Good luck!

Hi! As long as you have crossbars and are able to space them so the box can adequately mount onto them, there should be no issues.

There are several hole markers that can be used, you choose which holes and then you finish drilling the holes to match what you need. I had a pervious bracket and was able to use and just made it match my bracket as it was off by 1/2". The mailbox itself also has hole markers that can be used without the bracket and can be mounted to a house or a post. Your measurements fit the bracket that I had. Hopes this helps. We really like this mailbox.

If you have an electric drill, you could adapt it. I had to make some adjustments on my mail box, but once installed, it works fine. Saves me a lot of useless trips to the mailbox.

I was able to line up 1 set of vertical mounting holes on a wall stud and used 4" lag bolts. It's also on the side of a closet, so the location might discourage prying efforts.

The box is about 38" long 12" wide and 8" deep. The post with the mount is about 34" tall. If you have monitors of different brands the holes might not be at the same height and the mounts do not adjust up and down. I had to make a couple plate with slots to make the adjustment.

Britne: I just saw your question since I was out of email range for a while. I have no way to be sure, but I would guess an 18.5 mailbox might be a bit much for this mounting post. However, if you go under the manufacturer's specs it should tell you what the post is designed to support.

My mailbox has nine predrilled holes at various heights and widths. Two rows of two holes and one row of five. Any two should hold the mailbox as securely as the material you attach it to. You may need washers or spacers.

Yes, that's how i mounted mine on. Too lazy to build a new one using the metal post. I just want to deter casual thieves from tealing my mail. Hope this helps

I believe it would be fine to mount it vertically. mine is horizontal, but I don't see anything that would prevent or prohibit from vertical.

That is tough to answer. If you had special hardware or have a way of putting a board behind the fence where you wanting to put it to screw it into I think it would work great. It's a very heavy duty mailbox. Good luck

Yes - it mounts easily to the Mail Boss brand metal post with pre-drilled holes, but if using another post, use the provided plastic floor liner/installation template to see if the holes line up. If they don't line up you would just use an intermediary piece of wood approximately 4"-6" x 9"-12".

Yes, you will need a standard mail box post to properly mount this box. I suggest Lowes or a similiar big box store (I found them to be the least expensive for standard type things like this.) Mounts easily with a few screws and has been working fine for us. I expect to get many years of good service from it.

Hi Judy, The distance between the two drilled holes is 12 inches. It's a very sturdy mail box with lots of room for magazines, papers, etc. I hope I've helped you make a decision. Sincerely, Judy

Yes, it could easily be mounted vertically. Very nice template included to help you drill the holes.

Yes. I can't see any problem with hanging this vertically. There are two screws on the right side of the mount, I would make sure they connect with a wall stud or, if that's not possible , use anchors for all three.

There are two vertical holes. Spacing is 6 1/4" from center of holes. No adjustment possible.
