Does this Mailbox Mounting Post hold the weight of a "Solar Group TB1B0000 Standard Size Heavy Gauge Steel Mailbox"....18.5lbs?

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.

An 18.5lbs mail box would over stress the post for sure. I think an 18.5lbs mail box will require full wood or metal posts. I used an alminum rual mailbox ALM110w0 that weights 2.4lbs.

I think it was but my son installed it on our existing wood post so I can't say for sure. I wasn't even around when he did it. Sorry. I love the mailbox though.

If the deck post can support 120 pounds I'm sure you can figure out away to mount it. Good luck.

No, post was a separate purchase. Mailbox is not very sturdy & door continuously falls off. Would not recommend!

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".

I didn't buy the metal post. I mounted this mailbox on an existing 4x4 wooden post for now.

I contacted XMark and the technician said "125lbs" which probably means the safe working load versus the static maximum load. Based on its construction and mounting I'd say it could probably hold 200lbs, but everyone has their idea of "risk".

The mount weighs 4.8 oz. The weight difference in the listing is the box it comes in (shipping weight is total of mount and box together).

I would guess that it would hold that...my first one arrived un-assembled, and one of the chains didn't have a clip, so I couldn't put it together...after my bad review I was sent another one, but have not used it as I had already come up with an alternative that I preferred by the time it got here...it also seemed like it had come straight from China, which made me a little weary, but I tend to be a bit paranoid with stuff like that :P :)

It's base isn't very large. It may be stable if it isn't touched, being only about 10 or 12 inches across. I wouldn't know about the whole item as the one I received didn't include the post. Apparently a vendor oversight.

It will if the post is set in cement. If not I would recommend putting it in cement as the top is heavy. But it is a great save mailbox.

The mailbox I bought was 7.5" tall by 9" wide by 20" deep and weighs 15 pounds. It fits great and the post holds it well.

It is a very strong hook. My fixture weighs 10 to 15 lbs. It should hold fine as long as it's screwed into a 2*4 or other secure board.

There's no way this mount want hold 18 pounds jus make sure the ball point screws are tight an mounted screws are secure

I googled the specs on this and some places say 50 pounds while others say 20. All I can say is that its a pretty well made product and if mounted properly, it will hold a good bit of weight. I would guess my bike is about 15 pounds and it sits perfectly on the mount, and has done so for over a month now.

You will need a mountng bracket kit. Which runs $15-25 & make sure it fits the size of this mailbox.

Not sure but it is fairly heavy duty. I am only holding a light box and at the retracted position.
