Will the planter be secure on a 3 1/2" railing?

I had a problem with mine because my railing isn't flat. It's rounded so this couldn't be used.

Our porch railing is almost 5 1/2 inches wide and the planter is secure. We don't know if it would work on your railing...

It fits snugly on a standard 2x4 wood railing. The standard dimension of one is 1.5 inches x 3.5 inches, so yes, it is secure on one.

My railings are only 1" wide so the planters slope forward rather than hanging upright. The thicker the railing the more upright the planter boxes will be. I think 3" would be perfect. And, be sure to add drainage holes. I used an awl and hammer and it worked perfectly.

I installed these on my sis's railing that is 2" wide. (top of rail is a 2x6 placed vertically). I cut 2x2 pieces of lumber just the length of each planter and screwed them onto the railing, then placed the planter over them.. they don't show, and the planter fits very securely. she loves them!

The description says it will accommodate a railing 2 inches thick. My railing is 1" thick and there is plenty of extra room. I would say that the 2" description is accurate. I really like this pole. It is sturdy and easy to attach.

If you have one side "wall" and one side railing the tension should keep it from tipping over. We have two railings and it is very tight and stable.

I believe the gate adapter needs a flat surface on the banister for it to be attached securely. Otherwise, it will most likely just end up twisting around out of place. Most wrought iron railings I see have skinny round banisters but if yours is different and you can find flat parts (even thin ones) then it might work for you.

I wouldn't recommend this for a deck railing - it's more of a window box. Have you tried planters with brackets that simply swing over a deck?

Yes it should work. I used it on my wooden railing. What I did was drill holes it the plastic and used plastic ty-raps to secure it the railing.

I believe so. I placed it under very heavy plants, and it is holding the planter very well.

I do not believe you will have any problems with it toppling off of the railing. It fits snugly if you order the right size.

If you're using it for plants you could clamp it to the railing if you have one. Anything solid that the opening on the clamp will fit onto.Clamp opens to about 4".Hard to say unless I know the layout of the balcony and what you're using it for.I would be careful about using it outdoors though,and keep it out of any wet weather. Hope that helps.

No hardware needed. There is a groove built into the planter which fits nearly perfectly to the railing you are going to use. Pay attention to the measurements they give youso you know if it will fit.

Yes but you will need a way to secure the posts on the bottom. Maybe in small planters or by brick

Nope don't get this,it is very flimsy. I ended up having to use several bungee cords to secure the plants to the planter and the planter to the railing. Gonna have to be a temporary fix until I have time to do something more permanent.

It appears to fit only 2x4 or 2x6 railings. It could be modified, but would probably be tippy.

It just sits on the railing but is very secure once filled with soil. I have 4 of them that have stayed put through some very strong wind storms.

the way my railing was on my deck I couldn't mount them the traditional way, I mounted under the railing, it worked great, but you have to be precise in your measurements, mark it well, have someone help you, they can hold. If you send me a cell phone number, I will take a picture for you and send it
