Would this mailbox mount/look ok on a 4 by 4 post? Thx for any replies :)

The mailbox mounts perfectly on a 4x4 post. Included in the box are 4 lag bolts which you use to install the mailbox to the 4x4 using pre-drilled holes in the floor of the box, then the floor cover goes over everything to keep moisture and debris from the mail.

i used the metal post they sell separately. It looks good and is very sturdy if mounted into concrete.

Yes, it includes the bolts for mounting onto a 4x4! That's what it is meant for...

Yes they fit on a 4X4 post. They come with an adapter for flat board mounting. Remove the adapter for post mounting.

Hi! I'm sure that size will fit on this post. My mailbox is 20" x 12" x 7 1/4 and it fits fine. Of course the neighbor hit the new post and mailbox..the post cover had no damage but the 4x4 needs to be replaced! He couldn't have hit the 25 year old box right??? More damage to his car than my mailbox and post!!!

You can add a padlock. Don't have dimensions handy but I can tell you that it will mount on a standard 4x4 post.

I already have it mounted but I have a good eye formeasurements. It would fit a post/pipe about 5/8" - 3/4".

the mailbox sleeve will fit over your existing post..you will have to drill clean through and use nut and bolts instead of the lag bolts they provide

Definitely can be post-mounted, in fact the mailbox comes with the mounting plate, a "Patented Fast-Trak Mounting Plate for easy installation on existing posts in minutes." But if you are talking about a solid column, such as brick or stone, in which the box is embedded, (surrounded by the other material) I don't see any reason why it couldn't be, except that you'd have to be careful to leave enough room at the very bottom for the door to swing open.

I do not think a mailbox could be mounted on it. It would not come out far enough.

Yes they will fit a 4x4 post. I have mine atop 4x4 wooden treated post. Hope this helps !

Yes, you need to purchase a mounting bracket with this mailbox. I see that Amazon sells one but at the time I don;t recall seeing one and I purchased one from Sears Hardware. I imagine with super long screws you could secure it to a post but it would not be stable or hold up over time. I would imagine it would eventually fall off and that's only if you could secure it in the first place. Buy the mounting bracket.

4.5 " may be too large . probably 4" would fit better . very pretty box though .

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

You bet. It looks just like the picture. Easy to put together with all hardware and wrenches included. I used four 8 inch lag bolts to secure it to the ground. Don't forget that the box needs to be a little bit from the wall so you can open the back door to get your mail. Hope this helps..

i don't think it is large enough for a mailbox, the holes are about 3-4" apart.

Well, the description clearly states "Mounts easily to 4 x 4 post (not included)" so the answer would be "no".

Mine fits flush against the wall. I wish It was a little bigger. But for the price it's a nice mailbox.

Yes, that's how i mounted mine on. Too lazy to build a new one using the metal post. I just want to deter casual thieves from tealing my mail. Hope this helps
