I am rural and it is a requirement that the highway department install all mailboxes. Can this be installed on a metal bar that is used for multiple mailboxes.

My installer said yes, you could install this mailbox on a metal bar with multiple mailboxes.

The only way to get you mail out is from the back. I don't think this box would work .

Yes. We live in a rural area too and my husband built a steel stand that has 3 spots in it where he attached this mailbox and my neighbors can add theirs

Not at the same time. You can only do two crossovers (Front and Rear) !!! OR !!!!! two side rail boxes (Left and Right) The rack mounting brackets have drilled and tapped threads in them.

I didn't buy the metal post. I mounted this mailbox on an existing 4x4 wooden post for now.

I put this over my 4 x 4 post that our old mailbox was on. It wasn't completely snug but it wasn't real loose either. It worked out great and still looks great. It was so easy to install. The bottom piece will not lay level unless the ground around the base is level too. Hope this was helpful!

it is not recommended to do so, and it may also depend on your local fire codes as well. the best instructions are included with the package as to the proper place to mount-it.

No sir I cannot. The walls of the switch would be to thin to support the tightening around the bar and short out on the metal. Sorry.

I really don't know. My mailbox is metal and they stuck to it. You could cut a small piece off one of the numbers you are not using and attached it to the back of the mailbox and see if it sticks there or under the mailbox out of sight

If you have an electric drill, you could adapt it. I had to make some adjustments on my mail box, but once installed, it works fine. Saves me a lot of useless trips to the mailbox.

You will need a mountng bracket kit. Which runs $15-25 & make sure it fits the size of this mailbox.

Yes. In includes two (2) mounting brackets. We installed this on sheet metal siding. The brackets mount on the surface and the box then hangs on the brackets. Holes on the inside of the mail box allow for additional screws to be added once the box is mounted. We started by first mounting wood to the sheet metal. Mainly to make it level the attached the brackets. Finally we hung the box on the brackets and added additional screws. It is not coming off for sure. Very durable and mail cannot easily be stolen. Keys are coded so if you lose them you can order more. Well outgoing could. Yes. In includes two (2) mounting brackets. We installed this on sheet metal siding.

Some things to take into account would be is the column flat where you want to place it, is the column wide enough, is there rebar steel in the column, how deep is the rebar, epoxy anchors into the column may work best. If you place it in a column you will need to leave enough room for your mail carrier to raise the lid to PUT your mail into the top of the mailbox.

since this apparatus has to be mounted on mailbox with metal handle and mine is plastic,I haven't been able to use it. Product description did not include this important information. If I can't find metal handle then I return it or chalk it up to another bum purchase.

Shouldn't be a problem. There are two wood screws, one at the top and one at the bottom. Easily installed this on my mailbox post.

I do not see any reason why it would not be OK for metal frame. In the worst case you can add additional 2 small screws in the existing holes. but i do not think it is neseccasry. You can also add more webbing strips to reduce the load on each one of the strips.

No, you will need to dig a new hole and set the post in concrete. Best looking mailbox on the street though.

the mailbox has been powered coated inside and outside. it is not water or air tight, but I have had no problems from the wind and the rain. You will need the box and post, but you don't need the spreader plate, unless you are wanting to set two mailboxes on the same post.

There shouldn't be a problem. The unit hardware provided is adjustable. However, if you do not have crossbars installed on your vehicle you will need to provide these yourself.
