I bought this post and intend to use a 4 by 4 wood post in cement as the anchor. The internal dimensions of this post is 4" by 4". But when you talk about a 4" by 4" lumber, the dimensions are only 3.5" by 3.5". So this post will not fit tightly over a...

The nominal dimensions of the 4x4 shouldn't be an issue. The important consideration is the plumb of the post. Insure that the 4x is straight and then mount your post over it butting two adjacent sides; secure with screws. I hope this helps.

No Anchor, the instructions call for a 4x4x8 pressure treated post cemented in the ground. this piece slides over the post and secures to it. I'm sure you could work something over an existing post too.

No the dimensions are wrong. It fits inside of my light post which is about 4-5 inches in diameter. The dimensions are 3.6 x 3.6 x 1.7 inches.

You do have to fit a board under it and then attach that to the post. Once the box sits on top of the board you put screws in the bottom & sides. We attached ours to a 6 x 6 inch post. not sure if it would work with a smaller post or not.

The interior space is about 4 X 4.5", but it's not square, so it wouldn't fit a square 4 X 4.5" bed post.

The interior dimensions are a 1 inch by 1 inch wide opening with about 2 1/2 inch depth. It's deep enough so a slightly smaller diameter post will fit with a shim and not wobble. Works just fine.

We are using 2x6's connected to a 4x4 post. However, we did see a plan that used 1x6's just wasnt going to be stout enough for our project.

It is designed for a four inch post. Suppose you could gerryrig it. The lights are spectacular and a great size. Work great. Think it would be worth the effort. Lois

We attached ours to 2- 4X4X8 ft treated posts. The posts we set in the ground 2 ft deep. Has worked great for us we have a Trumpet vine on ours and holds it no problem!

My dad made a wooden base and made it slightly larger than 8x10. Maybe a couple cms over. I would guess what ever you want for cement. Hope this helps

The lower part of the post for the mailbox is about 5 1/2" inside, we could not get a 4 X 4 to fit into the upper part, the inside measurment of the upper part seems to be just slightly smaller than a 4 X4, we used fast setting cement to put our in. We just followed the instructions that describe how to concrete it in. 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.

The design is for it to fit in a post. Do not believe it will work on a straight plank.

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.

Sorry, NO. The base is wide enough for a 6 by 6 inch piece of wood ( pressure-treated preferred) which can then be mounted on a 4 by 4 inch post. The 2x2 is too small for a secure mount.

This post does not have an extension. It is designed to mount over a 4"x4" treated post that is sunk at least 30" inches into the ground and preferrably in concrete. I use an inverted 20 gallon trash can with the bottom cut out as a mold for my concrete base.

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