No really appropriate for purpose. Wire runs up inside extension rod. Could stiil be done modifying top of post but would be weak in very high winds or impact. Need a more compact and heavy duty design.

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.

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.

Yes, you will need a standard mail box post to properly mount this box. I suggest Lowes or a similiar big box store (I found them to be the least expensive for standard type things like this.) Mounts easily with a few screws and has been working fine for us. I expect to get many years of good service from it.

I fabricated my posts out of 4 x 4 PT Wood. I did not need the post kit. However you do need the bracket which came with the clothes line to mount to the 4 x 4 posts. I hope this helps. If you need any more help or have questions, feel free to contact me via E-mail at cobscookbay@yahoo.com.

Use a nail to gently poke a hole, put the bottom post through the hole then screw on the stud. :)

I installed mine on a wood post, but I am sure if you check with your local hardware store they can tell you how to install it In concrete and give you the items you need to do that with.

You can mount a 4x4 post and get a L-bracket hanger to hang it on from Home Depot for about $4.

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.

I have it mounted on a small post now. The hole is about 3/4 inch in diameter. Depends on the size of your post but I am going to say yes. You can hang it or mount it. Hope that helps.

Since the top is fairly thick wood, I guess you could drill a pilot hole for the screw and just screw it to the top. Since the unit is made of pressed wood with a very thin overlay, you must drill that pilot hole before trying to screw into it.

We didn't do that, but I remember in an older review someone did attach to wooden post. Hope this helps.

The lower frame is designed to fit over the end of a 4X4 post. It is secured by screwing provided screws thru the side of the base into the wood. I suppose you could improvise by creating a 4X4 block to attach the light to, then attach the block to the rail. Guess depends on how wide/narrow your rail is too. Suppose it could work, with possible modification.

You could mount a 1x2 on top of you board that you have. If the hooks arnt wide enough. That would be a option. Not sure why it dosnt work for you.

You have to slide it onto the post then install a couple of screws to secure it. I found this product to be the best that I have ever used. Definitely worth the price.

FYI, the other people who have answered are correct - you'll want to cut a board and use it to mount. It mounts very easily from that point and you will be happy with the result!

I don't believe so, I have to let you know the mounting bar is horizontal, not vertical and there about 20" apart screw from screw. its very sturdy but I don't see how to set it up on a post. also take account this swivels from side to side
