I installed the same mailbox last year. It will not fit the post you have. Your local lowes or home depot sales the kit that fix it perfect. Just pour a little concrete in the bottom of the hole once the post is in place.

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.

The mounting is a channel that is three sided, screwed onto the post on the closed side. The open side of the channel is enclosed by a face plate. As a result, the 4x4 dimensions are critical.

I am at work, so can't give inside dimensions of mailbox. You could place an average brick inside the mailbox, if that helps.

They fit on many 4x4 posts. But if your posts are angled at the top there can be a problem. I made some wooden shims to solve it.

Its made to go over a 4x4 post inside diameter is 4 and outside is bit more.

It completely would depend on the size and how sturdy the gate is. The mailbox is heavy and would need a stout mounting post

Yes they will fit a 4x4 post. I have mine atop 4x4 wooden treated post. Hope this helps !

Not exactly. You'd have to cut or file the post down for it to fit. We put them on top of 4" x 4"s and we had to sand/file them in places where the wood wasn't exactly 4" x 4"

The post should be at least 4 to 5 feet out of the ground. You'll also need add two 2x4's to two sides of the 4x4 because of the size of the mailbox post is larger than the 4x4.

No, it will fit a 2x4 which has a 3.5 in width but it won't fit snug on anything less than that.

There is a paper separator. If the post card is 6 x 4, it should fit- you would see only one side

Hi W. Gawronski, No it will not fit a 4.25x4.25 post without modification to the post. I had to modify my 4x4 post to get my light to fit. I believe the light measures 3.75x3.75 and these are tight measurements. Good luck!!!!!!Mark CoxInnovative HVAC Systems, Inc.

You'll need to mount a piece of 1" plywood the same size as the bottom of the mailbox to top of the 4x4.

I put this over my 4 x 4 post that our old mailbox was on. It wasn't completely snug but it wasn't real loose either. It worked out great and still looks great. It was so easy to install. The bottom piece will not lay level unless the ground around the base is level too. Hope this was helpful!

I don't know the size of pvc post. It is fit 4x4 post which has the actual size about 3-5/8x3-5/8

I would say probably not. Our posts were exactly 4x4 and they fit really snug. I bet you could shave a little off the top to put then on because they are really nice for the price.

I looked up the post office rule of mailboxes. It says 41 - 45 inches. If it is to low you might need to extend the 4 x 4 post to raise up the bottom of the box.
