Abstract

Universal pole mounting assemblies and kits for mounting enclosures, such as electrical enclosures, to poles, such as utility poles is provided. Each pole mounting assembly includes a pair of arms, a mounting member and a pole mounting member. The pair of arms can be adjusted to fit the width of an enclosure to use existing mounting holes in the enclosure. The mounting member can be secured to the arms and can mate with the pole mounting member either after the pole mounting member is secured to a pole or before the pole mounting member is secured to a pole.
