Can this be mounted through the base to a 6 x 6 fence post? Is it solid on base or does it have holes to mount base with?

Its not made for a 6x6. More made for bolting into concrete. The base is hollow though so if you cut a piece of plywood 4x4 and put that on the 6x6 then montes this to the plywood that might work

I measured the base, and it is 5.5" by 5.5" square. There are two screw holes in the opposite corners, so you should not have any problems mounting this on a 6" square post. I had to drill 12 holes in six concrete pillars to mount my units. It took 15 to 20 minutes to drill each hole. I was a tired puppy at the end of the day.

the base it's self does NOT have mounting holes, it has adhesive strips. It is made of plastic that can be drilled, and yes I have done this myself

What size is the post that goes into the base. If it is 1/2 inch I would be able to use it with a universal wall bracket that I have. Thank you, Lewis

Sorry for the slow response. I was out of town. It says it can be mounted to a post but it seems like it would be very difficult to do. It is made of plastic and mounting it would be kind of tricky in my opinion.

You could thru bolt a one foot piece of 2×6 to each side of the fence and then mount the holds to that. I suspect they may be a bit spongy as the chain link fence has some give but, it would work.

Hi, No, it does not come with a mounting bracket for a post. However, this is exactly what I had -- a 4x4 post. All I really did was place a mounting board on the post (cut to fit the bottom of the mailbox), and then screwed box onto the mounting bracket. If done with good wood, you will have a very solid mount. I really like this mailbox and it has been up a number of months and is working great.Hope this helps,Dick

No...cannot be used without post. Suggest 4x4 about 6 inches attach to railing. Mount to short post.

Yes, I have mine mounted onto a 4x4 post. I went to my local chain hardware store and bought a 4x4 bracket that is used for wooden decks and just mounted it under the feeder.

Yes, it has pre drilled holes for mounting. It works great I have mine mounted to a wooden fence with a little shelf built under it because it hold a 5 gallon bucket full of dog food.

It has to be installed over an existing post secured in the ground. They recomend a 4x4 but I had a 3 inch round aluminum pole set in concrete so I made wooden adapter brackets so the post thought it was going over a 4x4. Pictures available on request.

The base measures 4x5 1/2 so it can be mounted on a 4/4 post and be screwed down. There will be s slight over hang on the 5 1/2 side though.

The corner posts do have holes for bolting. The are stakes also provided. I purchased the additional wind load kits which provides additional wall posts at each section. I bolted down to a concrete pad.

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

Yes. This base secures well. Be sure to use the proper screws per hole. First mount I could finish bolt action cause one screw was single thread through. Otherwise, perfect!

It will accept a 2x8; or a 2x6 if you want a little more anchor to insert into the ground. These are powder coated steel,and very well made. Hope this helps!

If it is for a fence, my husband says the post should work. We just use a metal pipe. We can not hammer deep into the ground as everywhere you dig is rocks, so ours is quite shallow.LD
