What type of post does this fit on? Does it fit on a round or square post? How do you connect the box to the post?

A flat rectangle of ply wood fits into the bottom of the box. Cut it to fit first, then attatch to your post, then screws go intoo the bottom edge of the box going into your plywood piece. Theres holes in the back of the box also to fasten into an upright if you have one...hope this helps. PS. I saw a similar one at Lowes, so I think its pretty standard setup.

I bought an approx. 1" x 8" scrap piece of board that I picked up at Menard's for less than $1 and cut to fit the underneath side of the mail box with a jig saw, then marked the board where the screws would go in, and drilled pilot holes where these were marked. Then, I screwed this homemade platform on to the existing 6 x 6 square wooden post, placed mailbox onto the platform and lined up the mail box holes with the pilot holes and drilled in the screws. I'm sorry I cannot remember the exact dimensions of the underneath side of the mailbox, else would have included them. I'm not sure what you would do if you have a steel round post. You would some way of attaching the platform.

It would fit either... You attach it to a piece of wood first & then attach it to the pole of your choice... ;) I'm a mail carrier & yours will thank you if you do it right!

I screwed a 2x6 atop the post and then layed the mailbox on top if it and screwed it in. This supported the whole box and there are holes in the base to do so. Very nice for the price

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.

Works for Wood posts -- has screws that snug it in place given wood post... should work fine.

yes you can loop this around a post---I have it looped around my porch leg---it has two hooks on it one at each end so it is versatilehope this helps

The Stokes select has a round set up for the poll. If used on a square pole you would have too much space for it to fit properly unless you used longer bolts. Give it a try. Good luck.

You need to shim it. I put some shims at the top and bottom of the wood post and I fits nice and tight.

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.

You will have to screw square board 6inch x6inch to post and the screw hose holder to board

I put it on a 4 x 4 post and wedged the post snugly in the ground. I did not attach it to the post.It just sits on top of the post so that I can put it away in the winter.

Depending on what kind of post you have and distance you will have to make or buy the piece to connect the smaller C or U portion. I used a piece of angle iron and bolted it to the post, connecting the C latch portion to the angel piece, hope this is helpful

Depending on the post size and hole spacing you should be able to mount on a steel post. The top plate on the post should be a minimum 6" square.

No it will not fit over a post. This works with Liberty Hardware's APANCHR-HSG-U Vortex Mailbox Ground Anchor

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

I was told it would by the seller, yet the hole is too small to fit over the post. I would recommend not buying this from this seller.

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.

The mailbox mounts perfectly on a 4x4 post. Included in the box are 4 lag bolts which you use to install the mailbox to the 4x4 using pre-drilled holes in the floor of the box, then the floor cover goes over everything to keep moisture and debris from the mail.

Set your post first. Once set cut it off 24" from the ground. The rest is a piece of cake. Follow the simple instructions that are included. Nice box.
