Are the screw holes in the mounting plate close enough together to mount this to a 4x4 fence post?

No, unfortunately, they are 5 inches apart. We hung ours on a tree, like in the photo.
936285
Yes, there are 2 screws that are in the center of the box vertical of each other

Yes this mounting plate can be used on a 4x4 post. Vertical mounting plate and screw hole's from top to bottom are about 3 1/2" inche's apart.

I have had my metal squirrel feeder for a long time but if it is made the same it will attach to a 4x4 as mine is. My only issue with it is the top is quite heavy and sounds like it might hurt but they keep going back to it and this feeder definitely keeps the blackbirds from eating all of the peanuts. If my windows are open, I actually smile when I hear the top close as I know a welcome visitor is eating!

Yes. There is a bracket that mounts to the fence post or 4/4. Then the metal squirrel feeder slides down over the bracket to mount it for us.

The simple answer is yes. You may need to be creative in the way you mount it.

If you are inventive then I think you can make it work but its default is to mount over a 4x4 post. One person already suggested drilling through the pipe and bolting it in and I think that would work. Personally, I don't know your specifics, but I might try to strap a 2x4 to your pole and mount the mailbox to it or something along those lines.

i am glad you asked this. it was driving me nuts looking at the picture. I will have faith that there are indeed mounting holes in the correct locations :D

No, the mounting holes are approx. 13/64" Dia., I drilled mine out for 1/4" bolts.

Yes, I have mine mounted onto a 4x4 post. I went to my local chain hardware store and bought a 4x4 bracket that is used for wooden decks and just mounted it under the feeder.

My posts measure 7/8 inch outside diameter. The top plate supplied mounts with one large screw.

Larry, If your were able to have a 4 inch square mounting plate on the end of the arm, it would mount just fine to it.DougD

I've not tried this. The unit itself is lite so a properly installed chain link fence post wouldn't have any trouble with the combined weight of this enclosure and a camera. However, the mount on this enclosure would not fit securely on a small fence post. You would have to get a pole mounting bracket to couple with the built in mount for this enclosure. You should be able to find a pole mounting bracket at your local hardware store.

Sure, but I bought a 12 foot wether resistant 4x4 and sunk that 2 foot and mounted it on that. It might be a little difficult the way you want it cause fence poles are usually 2" in diameter. But it could be done. I would prefer something flat like the 4x4.

The mount holes are on the ends of each bar and about 4" apart. There are only four.

The back plate is exactly 4", but are you sure the 4X4 post is 4" or really 3 3/4"?

I believe it has two vertically aligned spots for a single screw. I use a 4" wood post with my flyer boxes.

Should be ok. I've installed 8 ft tall 4x4 fence posts on top of railroad ties (actually bridge timber) using these. But it really depends on what you're building. If this is a fence where you'll have lateral support with 2x4 or other material, then you're ok.

Yes they mount on 4x4 posts as well as having adaptors to mount them flat on the railing.

I would think so. I would just make sure the post you are mounting to is sturdy enough to accommodate the swinging gate.

Yes, but you will need longer screws. I have mine mounted on 4X4 fence post. I use stainless steel screws instead of the one that came with the pole. Good luck to you. YY
