Excellent! I’m so glad this was helpful. Since this install the post has been rock solid even without the cement… but our ground is like cement so I’m not surprised. Ha! Thanks for watching, Steve! I hope you have a great day!

I want to mount my mailbox to a round pole with 2" diameter. What brackets can I get to clip around it? Thank you.l
@ReluctantDIYers 10 ай бұрын
Great question! One quick question back to you… are you mounting directly to the top of a vertical round post or are you mounting to a horizontal round post (so the mailbox will sit on top of that horizontal round pole)?
@philipchong6273 10 ай бұрын
@@ReluctantDIYersI am mounting directly on top of the radial metal pole. I have look at brackets, but they are all square at the bottom, I guess it's bc they mount on wood.

@@philipchong6273 Ok, thank you for this response! Check out the video description. I just put a link in there for anyone who needs to mount to the top of a round pole. This will give you an idea of what is available to assist. Just make sure you buy one that fits the diameter of your pole. I hope this helps!

What is the best choice between those 2 boxes? metal vs plastic? Architectural MAILBOXES Ironside Large Capacity Galvanized Steel Black, Post-Mount Mailbox, MB801BAM vs Gibraltar Mailboxes Patriot Large Capacity Rust-Proof Plastic Black, Post-Mount Mailbox, GMB515B01

I bought a new mailbox I'm wondering why is there screw holes on the inside of the mailbox.
@ReluctantDIYers Жыл бұрын
Where are the screw holes?

I know about the screw holes on the side that go into the wood. I'm talking about the floor of of the mailbox it has four screw holes. Inside the mailbox
