On further reflection, it sounds like a basic fence bracket would clamp=20
to the pole, and screw into the wood base on which you would mount the=20
mailbox.

Subject [Shop-talk] Mounting a mailbox to the side of a round post?
>My carrier has requested I move my mailbox to a place he doesn't have to h=
ike to and I would like to help him out. I have a survey post that's very m=
uch like a chain link fence post with the cap removed. It's on the property =
line so I don't want to top-mount a mailbox. I haven't found anything in m=
y searches that will let me do this without hacking it so much it looks sup=
er sketchy. Are there any mailboxes, or adapters, that will let me do this? =
I'm thinking a standard rural mailbox that sits on a plate, and the plate=
has a recess to slip over the top of the post, just offset so the mailbox i=
s on my side. I could imagine there's a 2-mailbox plate that centers itself =
over the post, and I'd just cut off one of the plates.
