Can it be attached to the side of a rural (quonset hut type) mailbox?

Yes. For optimal battery charging, the solar cell should face south. But it would probably work just fine in a sunny place. It can be mounted with the solar cell and the display as one piece, or they can be separated. I used tie wraps to attach it to a small tree but you could use screws or double sided foam tape to put it on a mailbox.

The product is bundled with adhesive tape and screws so the answer to your question is yes. I like 3M VHB tape if you want a stronger tape (not bundled) and cannot use the screws. However, I do not like this product overall because the LED back-lights are not bright enough.

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

This is a old fashion mailbox. you fit a board under it and attach that to a post and sit the box on top the board and put screws into the bottom sides.......it's the only way I know to attach it.......

I just put it beside my door...which wouldn't work in NYC on a post! I just went out and looked at the back. It does have two grooves that I would suppose be placed over the head of two screws. It is made of plastic and you could drill holes on the side and attach it with wire I suppose. I just think it may be a little wide to be secure if the post is more narrow. This would be a second choice if I couldn't find something purposed to a post or more durable to the elements. The top goes up and down by two hinges on the back. Hope this helps a bit.

Hi Bizou,The porch doesn't attach to the dog house so you should be able to place it on the side.

Yes, this mailbox requires an adaptor specifically designed for this mailbox to be attached to a 4 x 4 wooden post. They sell this adaptor on Amazon. It is required and it really stabilizes the mailbox on the 4 x 4 wooden post. Really simple to install, fits like a glove, and it looks nice. Good Luck!

not really. you could put something sticking out of the main slot but nothing specific for outbound mail.

I don't see why not. I had considered doing that myself but attached it to the side of a small outbuilding instead good luck.

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.

The post is made to attach a standard size mailbox. This pounds pretty standard so shd hold it. The problem would be screwing it into the braces to hold box in place if it's too wide to fit snugly against the braces.

Yes, you can fit a round object in a square box in this case, lol! When you slip the mailbox post over the round 3" pipe, you will need to drill 2 holes into the pipe so you can secure the mailbox to the round pole.

No it will not fit over a post. This works with Liberty Hardware's APANCHR-HSG-U Vortex Mailbox Ground Anchor

The weight of contents would most likely knock it over. It is meant for mounting. It does have rounded corners on the bottom making is less stable to stand alone. However, it is an excellent rack. We use it for the mail (catalogues & flyers) that doesn't fit in the mailbox. Our postman loves it.

Maybe. The back of the breadbox is thin plywood that is spot stapled to the frame. It may or may not take the weight. If it was reinforced first with additional fasteners it would probably work.

Yes, you need to purchase a mounting bracket with this mailbox. I see that Amazon sells one but at the time I don;t recall seeing one and I purchased one from Sears Hardware. I imagine with super long screws you could secure it to a post but it would not be stable or hold up over time. I would imagine it would eventually fall off and that's only if you could secure it in the first place. Buy the mounting bracket.

It has to be anchored at the other end to something solid. Otherwise it should work.

That is exactly what I did. I had an existing wooden post that was in rough shape and the arm was falling off of. I sawed of the post below the arm and put this mailbox over it.

You can't. You are correct I am using it for fuel delivery receipts, not as a mailbox. Its preety small for a mailbox anyway. And very inexpensively made.
