Can this be attached to a masonry block building? And do the post need achored on concrete or buried in the ground? Thanks so much

You can anchor it to anything but I don't think the posts are suitable for anchoring in the ground. They are too short and hollow. I think in time they would settle and then lower your roof. Mixing the concrete for the footing was probably the easiest part of the whole thing. Don't know why you'd skip it.

There are two styles that I am aware of, free standing and attached. The attached style can easily be attached to a block wall. I ordered the attached version and got the stand alone version. However, I was able to convert one side to attach to the wall and it is working great.The posts can be anchored or buried. However, I would recommend using a cement foundation and anchoring them to the foundation instead of just burying them in the dirt unless you want the cover to be only 6-feet off the ground on the low side where the posts will be located. Hope this helps!

We attached ours to our building by first installing a 2 x8 header to the wall. Our posts are anchored to a concrete slab.

Yes it will attach to brick and yes the post need to be anchored to prevent the roof from being picked up from wind. The poles come with the bracket to anchor them with. Mine is attached to a wood deck.

Yes, it is made to attached to wall. Just use masonry screws/bolts. The instructions call for anchoring into the concrete and it worked great on my patio.

You can raise the post on the side with lever to insert on the right side to hold it in place, then I press it in to snap. We keep ours outside, and if you raise the post higher it might need to be weighed down on the base with sand inside the base, or just put a heavy brick on the base, to keep it from tipping over, good luck.

Sorry , was rushing out but I meant in that you will need to remove the old rotted posts and replace them with new pressure treated posts and then add new cement for solid ground but post bases can only be used on flat surface (Wood or Concrete).

It comes with screws and spacers, for mounting. I don't recall instructions for mounting to masonry, but don't see any reason why you couldn't use concrete/masonry screws and/or masonry anchors, in place of what they give you. I bought this for my craft room, but it's so sturdy - my husband wants some in the garage, so we'll be purchasing masonry screws/anchors to mount to concrete.

It comes with a bracket to be screwed to something. So you could put a 4x4 post in the ground and attach it to that.

I installed this lamp post over a pressure treated 4x4 that was set in concrete. You can install over an existing lamp post. Hope this helps

It's fairly light-weight so I would definitely secure it. We purchased some anchor blocks at home depot and drilled into the posts to anchor it. It could potentially sit pretty close to a house if you wanted to move it up against the wall. We put ours about two feet from the house on a concrete patio.

It should just make sure you follow the directions.. the brick should be ok.. concrete I would not be absolutely sure..I taped mine with duct tape to the face of the box. And made sure the antenna had breathing room to the LOS to the home.. Had some crooks stealing mail in area.. and I noticed 2AM the light came on.. we had nothing in the box but they tried with Valentines day near.

The post that comes with this mailbox system is smooth, 2.5 inches in diameter, and 6 feet in length and is intended for in-ground installation. The post should be buried approximately 18-24 inches and stabilized with concrete.

I purchased this item. Attached it to my composite decking. I would think you could attach to concrete with masonry screws and a hammer drill. Would definitely by one and practice. My concern is how well the plastic base will hold up over time - through cold winters and hot summers.

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

Concreted in... the box is very heavy and I can't think of a "weighted" way to install it. However, the post (pole) comes in two parts and are threaded together. The directions say to punch the threads to prevent unscrewing them, but I didn't do it. So, I could remove most of the BBQ if I wanted to, leaving only a short threaded post above ground. You would then need to dig out the concrete and place in the new spot (I guess that would make it a weighted install at that point, lol).

Not sure what you are asking because these are intended to be mounted on a concrete slab or footing and if you are wanting to support a fence on solid ground then you will to dig up the old post and reinstall with concrete. But if fence is going across a concrete driveway or similar then yes it will work with proper concrete anchors.

From reviews I've read from others, they have anchored it. There are holes in the bottom of the posts for that.

On the open and you'll want to put the final post socket in the cement so it's solid. On the other and where there is brick I would screw an eye bolt in the brick and then use one of the hooks from the fence to secure it so you can remove it if you want. I think you will just need to install the eye hook at the top of that section

I'm not understanding exactly what your question is but to clarify, I did not want mine just sitting on top the ground without being installed. Had a neighbor help me and we went ahead and permanently installed in concrete. VERY HAPPY with this product and have received many compliments from neighbors. any other questions please ask. And YOUR WELCOME! :)

I would not bury this directly in the ground, needs to be put into electrical PVC conduit. Or the wire will degrade if installed directly in the dirt,and stop working
