The top of my mailbox 4x4 is pointed, not flat. Will this application work without having to saw off the top? Just curious. Thanks.

No. The lip protrudes down about a half inch over the top of the 4x4 and the "hole" has a flat bottom.

This item needs a flat surface - or at least partial flat surface to sit on. The post must contact the edges, since the attachment screws are on the edges.

yes you will have to cut off the point or else it will not fit. Hope this help

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.

There are several hole markers that can be used, you choose which holes and then you finish drilling the holes to match what you need. I had a pervious bracket and was able to use and just made it match my bracket as it was off by 1/2". The mailbox itself also has hole markers that can be used without the bracket and can be mounted to a house or a post. Your measurements fit the bracket that I had. Hopes this helps. We really like this mailbox.

Yes. The bottom is flat, with pre-drilled rows of holes. I lagged a PT board to the existing wooden post and drilled pilot holes in it using the plastic tray liner (included), for a template. You then lag the mailbox to the PT board using a socket and ratchet handle.

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.

You can easily see our lights from the street, it is nothing like a really bright light though so I am not sure if it is on a mail box it would work. These are designed to go over a 4x4 post, so make sure that the mail box has something you can set the light onto so you can mount it. Hope this helps :)

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

If you are mounting to a 4"x4" wooden post, you can use a wood or solid composite board measuring 4"x 12" maximum. This board will fit perfectly in the recessed bottom channel of the mailbox. Predrill 4 holes to allow (4)3" lag bolts to secure to the top of the 4"wood post. Place the interior table (separate metal plate included with the Geneva mailbox) as a template to mark your mounting holes. Purchase 4 sets of mounting bolts and nuts (1/4" x 3" with washers, stainless steel or galvanized coated preffered) to mount the Geneva Mailbox on to this 4" x 12" table. Countersink lag bolts (if you are capable) into the surface of the table for best results.

Sorry, never used this product for that type of application. If I needed to set posts, I would go to a different product.

Mine did NOT come w/ a post. It was perfect for me because I had a previous post set in concrete that I cut down to 2'. Worked perfect. I've seen posts where you hammer a large kind of stake into the ground that seem easy, but never worked w/ one myself. I'm very happy w/ m Step 2 Mailmaster.

The angle of the T-Post will have marginally affect the performance of this tool. We have some T-posts that were driven it at an angle and others that were severely bent. Whilst this posed some "hooking" issues, the end result was the same. The posts were removed with minimal to moderate effort. I hope this helps.

This is a old fashion mailbox. you fit a board under it and attach that to a post and sit the box on top the board and put screws into the bottom sides.......it's the only way I know to attach it.......

In my case and others that I've talked to, unless your receiver has a DIRECT and CLEAR line of sight to the mail box, it won't work. It means you've got to mount the receiver in a window that has the line of sight needed. From your description, it seems that you've got another unit in front of yours blocking the mailbox line of sight from your unit, so in that case it won't work.

Yes. I live on a state highway in Indiana and this winter was brutal. My mailbox is right on the road and the plows blow snow over 25 feet onto my property. Mailbox is still standing and looks great. I did install a new post and used a bag of quickcrete to hold it in and made sure not to over tighten the screws that go into the post from the mailbox. Other advice is to make sure the post is tall enough to keep the plastic ring as high into the mailbox housing you can. Higher it is the stronger the box stands. Will make since when you see instructions. I have had 3 expensive metal boxes with custom lettering and this box is far better for standing up to road hazards and still looks sharp. I have 6ft tall rod iron and brick pillars and it looks classy. Had a local sign guy make some stickers in gold for numbers and it looks nice. Hope this helps I would buy another in a heart beat.

Corners, yes! But I doubt it will work at the top because the angle of a a frame of much less than 90 degree.

This is not for a 4x4 post...either square or round........its for a metal pole or a wood pole like you would use in your closet. Either square or round will work as long as the pole is under about 2 "It really keeps the nest safe. ..from everything

That is exactly what I did. I had an existing wooden post that was in rough shape and the arm was falling off of. I sawed of the post below the arm and put this mailbox over it.
