my deck wall is about 5-1/2" thick - will this bracket work? is it adjustable at all where it grips the rail?

The brackets say they are 4 inches wide but on our 3-1/2 inch top rail we had to add 3/4 inch blocks behind them to make them work. There is no adjustment except for your creativity but they have worked well after that for us.

No the bracket isn't adjustable. It should work on a rail that size though and keep the flower box upright and in the right spot.

My deck railing is 3 1/2" and they hook right over it with not much wiggle room, it is not adjustable, coated metal that probably with a lot of muscle could be bent but if you bent it 2" I don't think it would grab the railing properly.

Measure the width of where you would want it mounted to see if it'll fit. Everything else is adjustable. As for the quality, it's pretty good! It's not the thickest material around but it's proven to be very tough in the year I've used it. It comes with everything you need to mount it too. I'd buy it again....

Katherine, the bracket itself is out about and 1" and a 1/2 plus the thickness of what ever you put on it. I use 3/4" so it will be about 2 1/4" to 2 1/2" from what ever you hook it to. Hope that helps. Clarence

width is really adjustable, I've attached to most rails I can find. For the price I would "make it fit"

My deck railing is also 5 1/2 inches wide and fits great - even some room. It works great - the whole thing is wonderful - looking forward to putting it out again as the weather gets colder.

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.

Since the bracket that comes over the rail, did not come down far enough to catch under the rail, my husband flattened the bent part out and it hangs fine that way. We also secure it with zip ties just to be safe. We had a lot of trouble finding brackets to fit our vinyl covered railings.

The table I have this clamp mounted is approximately 3/4 to 1" thick. The bracket fits well with this thickness and is about 2 1/2 inches deep onto the table. I have a 12 inch flat screen television attached. The connection of the TV to the mounting on the end of the arm was at first wobbly, a few more turns on the screw and the wobbliness went away.

Assuming the rail that you are clamping it to isn't too think to slip between the clamp and that it is strong enough to support the weight from whatever you will be hanging on it I can't see why it would matter what material the deck is made of. It should be fine I would think.

I wouldn't trust it for round railings. The brackets seem designed specifically for flat railings.

I have it mounted on a 2 inch metal railing, but that is the max to clamp onto. It opens just over 2 inches wide.

I measure 6.25", but without taking it loose off the door I don't remember if the lower mounting stud is adjustable....I don't think so.

It will clamp onto any type of railing. What I can't guarantee is if it will be properly supported by your rail. It depends on the sturdiness of your railing but the clamp is very secure and heavy.

It is made to fit a 3.5 inch or 5.5 inch wide railing. I think if you put a 1/2 inch spacer along the side of the railing would work.

The sides of the brackets don't need to be exactly centered. Mine is offset by about 8 inches and it is fine - it just may affect the range of motion of the bracket once installed. I picked this bracket specifically because I had a corner with very little wall on one side and I needed an offset solution.

I;m a bit confused when you asked about 2.1 and 2.5. I can tell you that this bracket does exactly what it was designed to do; it holds the shelf tight in place. The shelf that I'm using is one that I built from scratch and is thicker then what you'd find in the store, about 1" so I used my router to notched it to the proper thickness to slide right into the bracket.

It's really designed for a 2x4-2x6 railing, but it's pretty adjustable. You might have to .. for a better word .. mickey mouse it in place on the railing. I have 2x4 wood railings, one of them I had to squeeze the clamps under better. The only thing bad about it .. unless you know how they are supposed to fit, all info is in French. :)
