Yes, you will need a standard mail box post to properly mount this box. I suggest Lowes or a similiar big box store (I found them to be the least expensive for standard type things like this.) Mounts easily with a few screws and has been working fine for us. I expect to get many years of good service from it.

I already had a metal trellis-type bracket that I just replaced the mailbox on, so I'm not sure what other type of post it might fit on.

It doesn't come with a mounting bracket. The only thing you'll get in the package is the mailbox itself - no screws, no bracket, nothing else. You probably should buy a mounting bracket.

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.

There are several hole markers that can be used, you choose which holes and then you finish drilling the holes to match what you need. I had a pervious bracket and was able to use and just made it match my bracket as it was off by 1/2". The mailbox itself also has hole markers that can be used without the bracket and can be mounted to a house or a post. Your measurements fit the bracket that I had. Hopes this helps. We really like this mailbox.

Mounting bracket is adjustable, however, I used a regular cyclone fence post to mount mine and bought post from Home Depot.

It has pre-drilled holds for mounting, but I don't recall it coming with a mounting bracket. I also bought a metal post that the mailbox was easy to put on with screws/bolts that were provided. I had to dig a hole and pour cement to hold the post.

As it comes out of the box, I would say no. The unit comes with just two "keyhole" slots in the back to slide over and hang from screws you would insert into the wall. That said, I did mount mine to a railing, by first mounting a board to the railing and the the mailbox to the board. Hope that helps.

You will need to purchase brackets separately. They are inexpensive and available here on Amazon.

Sorry, not sure I know the answer to your question. I purchased the mail box and matching post made by the same company. It has been too long since I installed everything to recall had the base mounted to the post.

No. Depending on the mounting structure you will need anchors and screws. I mounted mine to a brick wall. I got plastic anchors and screws at home depot. I made a cardboard template of the back of the box and used the template to mark the place for the anchors in the wall. The box looks great and fits perfectly with our 1919 arts and crafts house.

Yes it does come with a bracket for mounting. It will fit a standard frame size fine, it will mount to an oversized frame but it's doesn't work quite as well.

The hooks do not come attached. The mailbox will look fine if you do not install them.

as long as you have a flat area it comes with 2 screws but if you don't have a flat area then yes you will need a mounting bracket

Of course not. The post is not included. I bought 4 x 4 in Lowe's and the mailbox fits great.

No other bracket should be necessary. It comes with ends that have 2 holes used to mount it to shower walls. However it will not have enough room if you are planning to mount it against a flat wall and expect it to be a shower stall.

Yes it did come with everything you will need to mount it to your house. Love my new mail box, holds everything!

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.

This is a heavy mailbox, you better check the weight. I would recommend the square pole to hold up the mailbox which comes with the plate to support the mailbox. Installation was very easy with the ones that are made for this mailbox.

Britne: I just saw your question since I was out of email range for a while. I have no way to be sure, but I would guess an 18.5 mailbox might be a bit much for this mounting post. However, if you go under the manufacturer's specs it should tell you what the post is designed to support.
