what do you use to mount the mailbox?

Already had a standard mailbox post, cut down a 1x12 to fit the bottom of the box and attached it to the post's arm, then screwed the box to that.

6 stainless steel wood screws into an existing mounting board on the post. The plastic box replaced a rusty steel box.

You will have to purchase a post separately. In my case it was used for decorative purposes only.

The door to retrieve your mail is in the back. I would recommend a post. You would have to side mount which doesn't seem practical.

I do not know. From what I remembered the box contained hardware for a number of mounting options.

Input my mail on top of the box, this is a wall mounted mailbox, similar to those found at apartments and town homes. This is not a suburban, street side box with a flag. If I have a lot of mail I go to the post office or the mailbox up the block.

What do you mean? You need to attach it to the pole. You don't have to put the mailbox together.

I didn't buy the metal post. I mounted this mailbox on an existing 4x4 wooden post for now.

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.

Ours is mounted. Although the back and bottom of the mailbox are flat, not sure if the lid would make it top heavy and therefore, unsteady and unable to sit up on it's own without falling forward or to the side.

You have to have a vertical post and a horizontal thing on which to screw the box down to. But...I do not recommend this mailbox at all if you are getting it to prevent mail theft. It's easy for someone with a relatively slim arm to reach in and grab mail.

Yes, that's how i mounted mine on. Too lazy to build a new one using the metal post. I just want to deter casual thieves from tealing my mail. Hope this helps

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.

Although it's been long enough I don't remember for sure, but I think it comes with double sided mounting tape that could be used for the side of your mail box. It can also be mounted with screws. Yes, you'd need to buy two in order to have is seen from both sides. If you wanted to mount it to the top, you'd have to work with your local hardware store to buy some sort of upside down T-shaped plate that could be used to bolt to the box and then used as a mounting panel. It could be done.

This particular mailbox can only be mounted on a 4" x 4" wood post using the post adapter plate made for this mailbox. Amazon sells a universal adapter plate which can be used to attach the 4x4 post to the mailbox. Really easy to install using wood screws. Also, very sturdy.

They recommend brackets by SanuD or OmniMount. Two threaded holes in back and one on the bottom. Good luck!

This is a heavy mailbox, you better check the weight. I would recommend the square pole to hold up the mailbox which comes with the plate to support the mailbox. Installation was very easy with the ones that are made for this mailbox.

The mounting holes are 5.5 inches apart. I see no way you could mount a mailbox on it though. Good luck!

You slide the mailbox holder over a four foot 2x4. We bought some numbers and were going to glue them on but they were too big. You can only use 2" ones.
