I'm thinking about using a treated 4" x 4" Post to mount my box to. Would this be compatible?

No. I probably could not take a picture until maybe tomorrow or Friday. My wife has a medical procedure scheduled for today about 40 miles away from home. We live in the boonies of north Arkansas with limited medical facilities..

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

Not really. You would need to attach a base to the 4 x 4 to screw the mailbox to along each side of the mailbox. The base would need to be a couple of inches shorter than the mailbox so the door will clear the wooden base. I use a piece of 1x12 plank cut to fit the bottom of the box and attached to two pieces of 2x4 screwed to the 4x4 post. The mailbox is screwed along the two sides to the 1x12. Don't forget that the whole needs to be a couple of inches shorter than the mailbox bottom.

The bracket will exactly fit a 4" x 4" post (which actually measures 3-1/2" x 3-1/2"). The overall footprint of this bracket measures 6-5/8" x 3-5/8".

The cap fits a standard 4x4, so no, it would not fit an actual 4"x4" post. You will need to find one that fits a vinyl post.

I only know what I've read on line about Mayne mailbox posts, but it looks like a standard 4x4 post with a vinyl cover and if you removed the current cap on top of your post then this should work.

No, because you wouldn't have the posts to do that. You need their posts because the boards slide into the notches, that's how they are attached. Also, these boards are not really 4" high, they are 3.5 at best. I was very disappointed with how shallow this turned out even putting it together correctly. IF you can possibly buy the lumber and make this yourself instead of buying this package you will be much happier and have a much better end product!

If the post vinyl dimension is same as the wooden 4x4 it will fit. Its a perfect fit for 4x4 wooden fence post.

yes it can be mounted to 4 X 4 post but some modification first. get 2" X 8" pipe and mount feeder to it,then drill 2" hole in topof post and insert the pipe & feeder to it

You can add a padlock. Don't have dimensions handy but I can tell you that it will mount on a standard 4x4 post.

No these will not fit on PVC/vinyl posts only 4x4 wood posts. I had to return them because of this.

My posts are square 3" and they fit easily - close to another inch in diameter will make it tight. But might be ok.

I would say yes I mounted mine to 2 4x4 stack on top of each other on top of my privecy fence post with lag bolts

Britne: I just saw your question since I was out of email range for a while. I have no way to be sure, but I would guess an 18.5 mailbox might be a bit much for this mounting post. However, if you go under the manufacturer's specs it should tell you what the post is designed to support.

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.

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

The post I used with this was a 4 inch x 4 inch (4 X4) post. I hope my Answer 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.

Back plate is 4 inch wide, 5 inch high. To mount to 4x4 post would require a minimum 5x6 board to allow for sealant around it. sealant should be applied to the top and sides, but NOT the bottom. This works like in the shower, allowing any minor amount of moisture to drain out the bottom.
