How does the "wall" end mount? I want to use this under a deck and want to use the deck post (4x4s) for the wall end. Will it work?

Don't think so because it is about 18 inches long. Unless the post is mounted sideways

As long as you have enough room (width) you should be fine. It is easiest to use when your hook is mounted straight across from the unit. Perhaps mounting the unit to the outside/underside of your deck, and the hook to a post out in your yard (so you get more sun!)

no, this mount would work well for that application as well with the right type of hardware (bolts etc.) I used it in a wood beam application on a covered deck and it is awesome, put up in 5 minutes

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

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.

I have it mounted on a 4x4 post and it works well for me. I don't see why it wont work mounted on the wall, may not be able to move the handle bars.

I mounted mine to an octagon box. Anyone at Home Depot could help you out with this.

It mounts to a wall. You would need to have your own post if you choose to mount it that way.

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.

It you have the bracket screwed into a wall/fence and have it set in position 3 (center position) it would hang straight out from the wall at 90 degrees.If you have it in position 2 or 4 it would hang out from the wall at 45 degrees. If you have it in position 1 or 5 it would hang right up against thewall. I don't know why you would use 1 and 5 against a wall. If you had it on a 4" X 4" pole it would hang out and you could hang things on itfrom any of the positions. Hope this helps. I have two of them and they work great for what I need them for. Heavy duty too.

Hi Pam: I installed it myslf. I had a concrete deck and cut out a 12 by 6 inch area, placed both anchoring brakets per diagram and leveled it, poured quickret. After drying several days placed bar ends in brakets band tightned screws. Very-very strong. It's stronger than the one with brace at bottom which is only held with screws. The hole in the deck id about 8 inches deep so the foot print braket mount is much stronger than just screws. Hope this helps. Mo

Well David...I will try. Having thought about the many ways this device can be mounted, it's no wonder they weren't included. 2by4, 4by4, wall mounted. I read that one guy mounted it on a short 2by4 then clamped it in a vice when he needed it. I can tell you that when I went to the hardwarre store to get bolts, I thought the holes were 3/8". I was off by 20 thousanths (to large). Im going to drill it to accommodate the larger bolts. Best advice (what I should have done) is to take the device to the store and try sizing it there. Now...how ar you going to mount it is the question. What kind of bolt & how long. If it is a wall you might want to use a "lag screw". But make sure to drill into a stud to get max strength. Good luck.

I would say yes I mounted mine to 2 4x4 stack on top of each other on top of my privecy fence post with lag bolts

Hello, yes, you can mount this as you wish too. The manufacturer suggests mounting the 2.24" side against a wall vertically, however if you mount the 2.24" side horizontally it will work as well.

It will not mount on a post un.ess you have some kind of hanging bracket that would screw o the post. It is designed with a metal hook on top that you hang from a tree or another hanger.

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.

I, too, was not sure what you meant about the base. I attached the mounting block to the deck and then ran a treated 2X4 to the ground at an angle - to keep it out of the way. This seems to work well. I am building a frame around the base to fill with rubber mulch. Hope this helps.

The mounting is a channel that is three sided, screwed onto the post on the closed side. The open side of the channel is enclosed by a face plate. As a result, the 4x4 dimensions are critical.
