What do you need to mount mailbox to post

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

You have to have a vertical post and a horizontal thing on which to screw the box down to. But...I do not recommend this mailbox at all if you are getting it to prevent mail theft. It's easy for someone with a relatively slim arm to reach in and grab mail.

Don't buy this, someone with small hands can easily remove mail. Slot too big, we returned ours.

I used two masonry screws on a brick wall - hang the screws and then the mailbox slides onto them. I held the mailbox against the wall and marked its holes with a sharpie before drilling.

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

I nailed ours onto a piece of wood that fit directly under it. Worked fine. So if your wood is small enough that the mailbox slips over it, you can just nail the mailbox on the wood platform through those holes on the sides. Hope that helps!

There is no wooden post involved. The mailbox comes with aluminum post that you install into the ground and fill with cement. The decorative bottom slides over the post down to ground level and secured with set screws. The mailbox is mounted with the bolts provided and the finial is mounted on top.

the mailbox sleeve will fit over your existing post..you will have to drill clean through and use nut and bolts instead of the lag bolts they provide

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!)

The mailbox is exceptional quality with high quality steel and strength but the post does not begin to match the strength of the box. I would get a 4x4 post from a local welding shop while you get the custom bracket made. And have them powder coated to match the box

No it doesn't include a post. You need a 4 inch x 4 inch x 6 foot post for his mailbox. You can purchase from Home Depot or lumber yard.

Ours is mounted. Although the back and bottom of the mailbox are flat, not sure if the lid would make it top heavy and therefore, unsteady and unable to sit up on it's own without falling forward or to the side.

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

This mail box only comes with the box, bolts, number stickers, and the keys. The post or any other mounting components are not included.

It has 2 screw mounting holes and come with 4-5 screws. also 2 sticky pads. It can mount to your mailbox in question with either, but id recommend using the screws to mount to a rounded, ridged, metal object

In my case and others that I've talked to, unless your receiver has a DIRECT and CLEAR line of sight to the mail box, it won't work. It means you've got to mount the receiver in a window that has the line of sight needed. From your description, it seems that you've got another unit in front of yours blocking the mailbox line of sight from your unit, so in that case it won't work.

The post does not come with the mailbox, it must be purchased separately. We cut ours to 48" and used quickcrete to cement it in.

The height requirement varies depending on where you are. You only have to get a post long enough to get the box at the required height. Nothing else is required (except the post) to mount it. It can survive harsh winters since a heavy berm thrown up by a plow will merely knock the box off the mount. Dig it out of the ditch and put it back on, or in anticipation of heavy snow, take the box off until the plows have gone by. It just slide on and off from the front.

The door to retrieve your mail is in the back. I would recommend a post. You would have to side mount which doesn't seem practical.
