Very helpful

Thank you. I'm hoping to replace mine this summer and this was very helpful.

Great Job 👍👍 Is the metal post hallow? The reason I'm asking is that I already have a round metal post in concreat, and want to slide the new post over the existing smaller post....and then I'll secure it.

It is hollow, but there is a metal plate covering the top for the bolts. The inside will slide over a 4x4, so if your pole is smaller than a 4x4 this should fit.

Could you please tell me the bolts size? mine came with the wrong ones and I can’t attach the mailbox to the pole

You need four 12 mm bolts.

Dont you have bigger than that..for packaging post.. Thank you.❤

I was going to ask how come you didn't use gravel and I guess the answer would be because your post is metal and not wood correct?

I have a metal post. If I live in a place with a lot of frost I would have added a 4x4 to go deeper. And as you said I would have put gravel below the wood post so it doesn't come in contact with the soil.

You needed a lot more water than that

Your not doing the concrete correctly. It'll be brittle and weak if not mixed. The concrete around the outside will harden a bit, but the center will not get enough water even if you let it soak for days since not enough water mixes into it. This is only slightly better than just using plain soil.

He's doing that concrete 100% correct. No need to comment if you can't identify the product he is using which is post set requiring 0 mixing.
