would this post hold a 8 3/4 w x 10 H x 20 D mailbox

The post is made to attach a standard size mailbox. This pounds pretty standard so shd hold it. The problem would be screwing it into the braces to hold box in place if it's too wide to fit snugly against the braces.

My mail box is 9" wide, but the bottom where it attaches to the post is 6 1/2"

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.

Of course not. The post is not included. I bought 4 x 4 in Lowe's and the mailbox fits great.

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.

My mailbox has nine predrilled holes at various heights and widths. Two rows of two holes and one row of five. Any two should hold the mailbox as securely as the material you attach it to. You may need washers or spacers.

I'm not sure about putting it together like that. You would lose some stability because there would be nothing to keep the posts in place. Don't think that would work.

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.

Not really. We mounted it on top of a 4"x4" post. The hidden mounting (to keep thieves from stealing the whole box) is on the bottom, which is flat.

I have a standard mail box and it fits rather snuggly. I don't think there is enough flexibility in the mount to allow it to fit over a larger mailbox.

Any size will fit, but we had to attach a piece of wood to the arm so that the mailbox would sit flush. Very pretty finished product!!

No the inside of this mailbox is smaller than it appears and it gets narrower in the middle where the plastic is molded from the front to the back. If you want bigger this would not be the mailbox for you.

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

I'm not familiar with that goal, but if the brackets don't fit, it won't work. The main post has to be a square 5x5

It may if its round. I have a couple of these on 4x4 square posts (actual 3.5 each side) and they really only cover 3 sides well.

Shouldn't be a problem. There are two wood screws, one at the top and one at the bottom. Easily installed this on my mailbox post.

I bought the post with it. And I sent it to someone else. I assume you could jury rig it with a 2x4 or some such as a base.

I would think so. I have 8, 10 1/2" round plates and one 10" square plate in the box with room to spare.
