Will these planter sit on a railing that is 5 3/8" wide up to 5 1/2" wide?

The company states they will fit any railing and that is probably true due to the way the inner parts are graduated and will stop at the proper width.

I would say "yes" to a six inch rail. My railing is 4" and it fits the first "cut" or the deck box. The second cut is for a six inch railing. The weight of the flowers and dirt keeps it on the rail well. We have gone through some extremely windy and rainy days and no problem.

Not sure what you mean by really thin, but if they are under 3 inches wide, I think you will have a problem. I do not think they will adjust any narrower than that. Maybe not even that far, may be only 3 1/2-4 inches. I have very wide railing tops, 5-6 inches wide, so it is no problem for me. Hope this helps. Tom

My rails are 1.5" x 1.5"...would likely accommodate larger. DIY experiment... quite flexible.

I'm thinking that a 3" wide rail is too small. They adjust from about 4-6" rail width. (I believe) As well as for width of planter. I think 3" would make the entire thing too wobbly.

if your railings are between the 73"-78" wide as mentioned in the add. This is a nice top!

William -- the brackets are square with a little bit of a hook on the end and appear to be designed to fit dimensional lumber (not round). The railing on my deck is a 5/4" x 6" (nominal 5-1/2") deck rail and it fits perfectly. Now, if you are handy and can fashion something to enable it to strap around a round rail, then it would work. Maybe a few nuts/bolts and pipe hanger strapping (comes in a coil).

Yes this clamp is large enough for your railing. It will accommodate a railing up to about 4 inches deep and the width does not factor into it as it extends across for stability but is clamped actually clamped about an inch from the edge.

Good question! I have the same issue. The problem is my deck railing is not flat ... it has a decorative "hump" that makes it 2.5" tall ... Based on the answers you got, I think this will work for me too! Thanks!

You have to have a level surface large enough to support the width of the circular base. I attached a 2X8 to the railing and then attached the base to the 2X8 and it works well.

You can figure this out--and no one else can do it for you! Because it depends on the depth of the crown. There is an opening all along it that's the size of a 2x4--that's the smaller opening. So measure a 2x4 (they are a little smaller than 2 x 4 inches) and see whether those dimensions will come down far enough to still hold the planter on the rail of your deck.

i guess you could take a piece of scrap wood and nudge it against the railing and container, that would make it snug. also, the weight of it when full of soil and flowers will help it stay. i LOVE these!

My deck railing is 5 1/2" - it fits very tight and doesn't wiggle at all. My guess is you'd have to wedge something in to keep it stable for 3"...it's a great planter however - I'd give it a try

Fits a standard 2x6 width, which is really only 5.5" wide, so your 6" wide rail is too large. Too bad, these are really nice planter boxes. We have a total of six on our deck and we really like them.

Good day! the " U " hardware will accommodate rails from 0.50" to 1.25" in diameter. have a nice weekend! Cordially, Liliana M Landloop Corp

It has been so long since we put these in. I know they sit well on the post. I think we broke of the side tabs and if that is the case then yes you should be able to screw onto flat railings.

Yes it will. It will fit up to a 5/8" easily. I bought these and they are well made.
