Has anyone installed this mailbox into a stucco wall? If so, any tips for installation? Thanks.

Simple use anchors designed for stucco and or concrete. Drill hole in wall, follow directions on package. When bolts are screwed in it causes anchor to expand thereby fastening to wall securely. Please use all stainless steel bolts and don't forget to use a stainless steel washer behind each bolt,, preferably a SS fender washer.

No - on siding - and the installation is simple, becausethis mailbox fits the existing hardware in the siding.

I actually have it surface mounted and not recessed into the wall. Looks great in my opinion. My Wife thinks so as well. I think it is intended to be surface mounted, which is why I chose it. Hope that helps.

It screws right into the wall. there are two holes on the Mail Holder. One on the top left and one on the top right of the back metal part. It came with the screws and I think it came with the drywall screw attachment. There weren't any studs where we were putting it so we drilled the holes slightly smaller than the screw, put the drywall rubber part in the wall, put the screw through the holes on the Mount Key and Mail Holder and drilled it into the whole. And TA DA!! its mounted.

Shelly, this model is used with a post. They did have wall mounted mailboxes too. I love mine - it's very sturdy (and looks great curbside!)

I have mine on stucco and it works GREAT. I don't see why they couldn't be flush mounted into brick BUT that depends on if you're retrofitting/adding a new box where there wasn't one or if you're just trying to replace an old box. I added a new box so i had to cut out stucco. Unless you have very specific equipment to do that in brick i wouldn't recommend it.

I purchased the "Architectural Mailboxes Coronado In-ground Mailbox Post" $164. You will need to buy a bag of cement also. Dig a hole, add the cement, water, mix well, add the post; wait 24 hours for cement to harden. Then screw on mailbox.

I installed mine in the wall. Just be sure to flash and weatherproof it adequately.

my mailbox is mounted to a wood fence. My son in law placed it on a piece of wood and nailed it to the fence. Hope this helps you.

Can't speak to stucco, but put it on my wood siding and it doesn't locate the wood stud behind it. Probably makes sense that it doesn't locate wood behind wood.

Make a template. Get a piece of paper. Turn over the mailbox. Use the holes in the back of the mail box and place the paper over it. Use a pencil and poke through the holes. Attach the paper to the wall with tape, drill your holes, use toggle bolts if you need. Don't screw the screws in all the way. Hang the mail box. It's great by the way.

The mail box post surrounds the 4 x4 and attaches with a lag bolt from the back side. Used the one provided and have had no problems with it.

The mailbox has to be secured with lag bolts and it would be very difficult to fasten it to concrete. The opening for the post is three sides fixed and one side open. It does not slide down over the post.

I want to replace this with old mailbox. There are existing screws in my bricks. How much space is in between the holes of the mailboxes? I would not like to make more holes in my brick.

Great looking and easily installed mailbox. We got this mailbox about 6 months ago. There is no wood. The actual cast aluminum pole goes into the ground. My husband installed using home depo cement .

The lower part of the post for the mailbox is about 5 1/2" inside, we could not get a 4 X 4 to fit into the upper part, the inside measurment of the upper part seems to be just slightly smaller than a 4 X4, we used fast setting cement to put our in. We just followed the instructions that describe how to concrete it in. Hope this helps!

That's what I bought it for was posters. Works well as long as the wall is not real rough and porous. I found it didn't work well with cement or stucco walls.

I put two posts into the ground about 12 inches and attached the trellis to the two posts rather than try to attach it to the stucco wall of my house because I wanted a bit of breathing space between wall and trellis. The air space keeps the plant from developing fungal diseases. I'm sure you could use masonry screws to attach it but I didn't try that.
