Do you need to add a 2x4 to two sides for a snug fit?

Yes, that is exactly what we needed to do. It worked fine - VERY snug, but stable. You will have to tap it down with a rubber mallet. Ours has been up for over 2 years and still sturdy.

Yes. And of course the instructions are not very helpful seeing as they are written on the box.

We did add a 2 x 4 on two sides to make it a snug fit. It was been very sturdy.
1780944
yes - you will need to add additional lumber. 2x4s will most likely work but be prepared to shave them down just a tad.

Yes, absolutely - otherwise it will be wobbly.It put mine up years ago and the post is still sturdy. The slow plow has taken out the cross arm and mailbox, but the post remains secure. I bought a second kit to get a new cross arm. The new post cover part is still in the box in my garage rafters, just in case.

Yes, you will need two sides. I had to make spacers for my application and it worked perfectly, but I had both sides. If the 15" doors have a center stop, then you may be able to make it work, but if the double doors close without a center stop, then it won't work.

use a file and file the side until it fit,it will be tight but it will work.

The Wall kit IS included. It will fit 2x4 and 2x6 construction. If you have brick exterior, you may need to get longer through bolts. Mine was fine with brick and 2x4 construction. Very easy install.

I did not when I installed mine, it is a tight fit, but as long as you have someone to help you guide it in, you should not have too

The previous comments are correct. It cannot be mounted to a 2x4 without additional fabrication. The potential loading is too great for a 2x4 and cannot be recommended.

Yes, though it is a bit of a snug fit. It was hard to get on straight the first time but after I re-situated it there was no problem.

Yes, the sides are flush. Would look great two together. The actual width is 35 1/4".

In my opinion it would prob fit best on a 4"x10" since there are 4 holes a round it. That is what we used and it just fit. Don't think the 2" would be enough space

It fit my 2x4 wall just fine and is perfectly flush with 1/2" hardiboard. That channel on the back that goes between the two shelves fits a 2x4 perfectly. I used it on an interior wall that had no insulation though. So if you have some insulation you may have to have a work around for that.

Sure, just measure carefully so that that the lengths of the 2x4s you cut for the top and the central brace leave a bit of overhang.

Buy wood shims. Thats what i did and it made it nice and tight fit. A 4x4 post will not be a tight fit on its own. Add some shims and it'll be perfect. Mine is rock solid after i sunk it in Quikcrete

No. All three sides are the same length - which means you can't put two together to make a square - or even a rectangular - covering. We bought three of these and the hardest part was figuring out the right layout to get the coverage we wanted.

Yes. You adjust the width to your liking after it is installed. Expanding sizes are included in purchase info I believe.

yes you can as long as you have enough clearance for the fixture should work with 2x4 wall.

Good enough I want to buy another but u do need a 2 by 4 depth for it to fit

You may have to put a small notch in the corners, but a 4'X4' will fit easily. I have three of these, and have had no problems at all. Great product.
