I have a PVC railing on our deck measuring 3-1/2" wide by 1-1/4" thick. Will this bracket work for me? Does anyone have pics of this application?

The supporting bracket is approx. 5 in across. So if the space between your rails are further apart than that, then it will just fall through. If your rails are simply just wide and the space between them is a standard width, then it should be fine.

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.

The standard bracket fits an exterior flange less than 1/4 inch( when closed the surface outside is nearly flat. The tall one works for an exterior flange up to 1" ( not a flush exterior flange)

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?

I used standard aluminum cyclone fence pipe that I bought at Lowes, however, bracket is adjustable so1 and 1/2 - 2 " pipe will suffice.

The width of the brackets is two inches. In my case the surface to which I attached the brackets was only 1 3/4' wide, but was open on one side so the brackets over- hangs the surface by 1/4", which was not a problem.

I am doing the exact same thing to make poles for deck railing. How did this work out? A vice would be necessary. Did you get one ? if so what one would a person suggest ? I am drilling 75 poles. with a total of 2 1/2" holes and 11 1/8th" holes. Would this do the job ?

The two brackets are only meant to go over a porch rail (up to 5" wide) and hook on the opposite side. Each bracket is composed of two sections. The front part is about 6" long on the side that attaches to the planter and 3" that sits on top of the porch rail. The second part sits on top of the porch rail and hangs over the back and fits under the rail. It's kind of like the letter J with the hook of the "J" holding the planter to the railing. The two pieces fit together with a wing nut that is provided. On the planter itself there are four little knobs (two vertical about 12" apart on the back of the planter ) that fit into holes in the brackets. I suppose you could drill holes in the back of the planter's metal and use some kind of screw into brick or concrete or if you don't mind having your window open less than an eighth on an inch you could hook it over the window sill. I hope this helps! I really like the planters (I bought 3), but if they hang on the inside of a porch or deck, as mine do because of the way the railing is built, water will leak through. Better to have them where they can get rain or the dripping goes on the ground, not on your porch. I'm going to line mine with plastic next spring.

I don't believe that it would work the bracket itself is square. I just don't see a way to tighten it to a round rail.

We actually put it on a metal round railing but it would most likely fit up to a four inch board railing. I got two and gave them to a friend. They are really nice.

I'm facing the same issue, which means that 4" diameter poles are not that uncommon. Not much of a "universal" bracket. Maybe we'll come up with a solution, but in the meantime I am quite disappointed that the listing did not clarify that the pole must be 3 1/2".

The bracket that mount to studs/wall has multiple slots that span the entire width of bracket. It should work.

I haven't installed the bracket yet. I can provide you details on the installation by the 3/4.

Yes it will fit 3" but you will have to extend the bracket by moving two screws. This is done easily and already has the relocation holes drilled, it is part of the design.

As long as the metal banister railing you have is the same in picture, it should work just fine. Make sure you measure your railing and check to see if measurements match before you purchase. We had the same wood banister so we knew it would work for us. So far the product works great with no lasting effects or damage to railing. Hope this helps you!

I agree with the maybe. I bought the optional extension rail. The rail provided the verticle surface needed to connect the bracket. I love this purchase.
