I would like to attach an electrical outlet to this post. Has anyone attempted that and were you able to accomplish it?

I do not have electric power in my post, as we have a solar fixture on it, so I am of no help with this question.

Yes, our electrician installed an outdoor electric outlet on the base. It wasn't a problem. Plenty of room.

We did it by putting in a smaller post, splitting the electric and running it to the smaller post. I can send you a pic of what it looks like if you send me an email address. It looks great works well too.

You can. It's 2 pronged and will fit any way you arrange it. I just tried to do it on my outlet.

I think that's a great idea. Yes, we did have to use a separate adapter (Power Converter) is what my husband calls it. He did all that because I am not very savvy on such things. I did not look, but I would guess the seller would have anything else that is required.

Mine is mounted to a 4 X 4 inch post on our deck, the unit is mounted to the house. So, I don't any reason it cannot be attached to a post unless you have something unusual. It needs to be strong enough and the bracket should be bolted or lagged (a bolt type) to that post.

Yes. It has no ground post. All your circuits for this fuse block must be grounded elsewhere.

The short answer is "no" since it isn't designed for that. There are no holes to screw through it into the wall. If you already have a wall plug that is nearby, your best bet would be to get a replacement outlet that increases the number of plugs available. Although you could surely find some means for attaching this to a wall, I would not recommend it because of possible safety issues.

Yes. But when we got it it didn't look great where I planned tpo put it, so my husband installed it directly into a socket. Also, we avoiding drilling into the wall by doing it that way. Looks nice and is stable. But it really is a plug in unit by design.

Wish I could help you, but.... I bought it a long time ago & I never had a chance to put it up. So it's sits in my garage until it's a priority.However.... I was thinking of posting it on a wood post. Like an outside lamp light post. Not to sure how yet. But eventually... I will get around to putting it up. Sorry not much help!

Out of the box, it was for a round post, when I purchased it. Maybe they have an adaptor that can be purchased separately?

You have a couple of questions here- let me attempt to answer the first. Don't believe the design would allow for you to mount directly over an electrical outlet since it is designed to fit flush to the wall. Understand why you want to hide the wires. In lieu of recessed outlet you might consider a spacer board (cut to the size of the mount and around your outlets) to give you a solid mount and a way to connect to outlets. Good luck!

Photos sent to your email address. let me know if you have more questions. Remember, I am 'just' an end user / consumer-buyer, not the manufacturer. How I hooked mine up may be different than how you have to do it based on your joist configurements and all that.

I haven't had to do it yet but I pulled out the instructions that came with it. Wording is confusing but I followed instructions and then in mine is mounted over an island. I can see the wires and arrows referred to in instructions when I look from the back side of unit. I don't want to take it apart - but if you haven't looked from the back side that might help. If I could figure out how to insert a picture I woukd send that and a picture of the (confusing) manual page. If those might be helpful to you, I'd be happy to email them to you but I'm not sure how to get my email address to you without posting it here.

Hi, you will need a electrical box installed, hopefully by somebody that is qualified for such things, I believe it can be mounted on a overhang or wall mounted. I hope this helps.

I believe you can if you solder to the wires on the opposite end of the power plug. The problem I had was hanging them. Mine were inside of some sort of silicone sleeve. Nothing would stick to them including the 3m tape that was supposed to be used for mounting. I also tried 20lb heavy duty 3m outdoor tape and no luck. If I had realized this I would not have ordered them in the first place! They were not like strip in the picture on Amazon!

With a little creativity, yes. Install electrical box, etc. But, it seems a little flimsy to fix permanently to a wall. Ypu might want something more substancial.

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

I mounted mine to a 4"x6" pressure treated post. I drilled a hole thru the post to run the wiring to the back side and then down thru conduit for underground to power source. I believe they do make a mounting arm bracket to extend it out but I am quite please with my mounted flush to the wooden post. Hope this helps.
