We had a problem with local high schoolers hitting the posts and breaking them off. After the 3rd time, I did the same as Mikie- a 3" pipe-4 feet in the ground- Filled with concrete-and set in concrete framed out with 1x4 lumber to look like a 4x4 post. Next time the local mail box bashers hit that, they needed a tow truck! But you might enjoy reading about the "creative" ways people around here mount mailboxes. I laugh my head off everytime I see a new way of doing this.
One guy down the road must be handyman challenged. He fastened his mailbox to the post with shrink wrap!! That was my laugh of the day, the first time I saw it. We live way out in the boonies. A very deserted area where lots of mailbox bashing also goes on. Some people have lost so many that they no longer permanently fasten them to the post. They are all bungy corded on!!!
I still like the shrink wrap better--LOL. Then there is another area where everyone must be related to Red Green. MANY mailboxes are mounted to the post with duct tape. One of these people had a broken post--so it is all mumified with duct tape. Red Green would, most asuredly, be proud of them. Coated deck screws are normally the best way to go.
An under board or base plate is usually needed on your standard domed metal mailboxes. Be careful of the suggestions posted above about hidden metal posts and surprise concrete enclosed mailboxes. An innocent person having an auto accident can be injured or killed by these kinds of vandal traps and you could be liable. Make sure you check in your area.

It doesn't seem like you would be covering a very large area, so you could use some nice stone without spending an arm and a leg. Suggestions for modern mailbox and post Q. This ideabook might help! Post-installation removal of urethane grout haze Q. Thank you, Beth H. We just moved in 2 months ago. How do you know it hasn't been sealed? Is there anyway to find out what brand was used? Regular cement type, urethane, acrylic?
Is it just the walls where the grout is powdery? It is also present on the plastic basin of the shower. I observed that when the water is hitting the tiles, the grout appears to 'soften and degrade', and once the water evaporates and the shower is fully dry, that's when the white filmy residue becomes apparent when you slide your fingers against the tiles and basin.
I observed that it's most powdery half way down the walls and all around the basin, as that is where the water is reaching the tiles when we take a shower.

Step 1 Turn your mailbox over, and measure the length and width of the inside void. Step 2 Cut your 1" thick wood plank to the size of the void. This wooden plank will be used as a mounting board to fasten your mailbox to your post, so ensure that it fits into the underside void before moving on.
Step 3 Center the mounting board on the post and fasten it to the post using wood screws. Step 4 Fit the mailbox onto the mounting board and ensure that it is centered. Open the door of the mailbox to check for any interference.
In some instances, it may be necessary to trim the front of the mounting board to allow the door to fully open.
