What type of hardware does this come with? How does it attach to the railing? I live in a windy environment.

I assume you are asking about the planter? I bought it last year; don't recall that it came with any hardware. The railing top is supposed to fit in the middle section of the planter and that is supposed to keep it in place. Unfortunately, my railing was much narrower than the opening on the planter. I had to get pieces of wood and then glue them on the planter to make up the space. After adding the dirt, I secured a number of shims to ensure a tight fit. I discovered that I had to adjust the shims frequently throughout the summer. Also, because the middle section of the planter sits on the railing, the planting depth at that point is quite shallow. Hope that helps. I assume you are asking about the planter? I bought it last year; don't recall that it came with any hardware.

If the top rail is a standard 2x6, the planter will sit there without any additional hardware or shims. The center section of the planter fits perfectly on the rail, and the two projections from the bottom keep the planter from sliding. It works well.

It does not come with any hardware. We screwed through the center in 2 spots & drilled into the railing. We put some stones, purchased by the bag, at the hardware store, added potting soil & flowers. We love the look. They have winter our storms, snow & wind. No problem

I too have to assume that you mean the deck railing planter. These planters come shaped so that they sit over the top of the railing and are quite secure just like that. Mine feel fine and that's the great part!

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.

There are two doors, so you can't go wrong! Enjoy it - very well made, and 1 bit of advise - use the tie downs that come with it - we used it on the deck, and tied it down to the railings. Stood up to very strong winds, 20-25 MPH. When you get up to the 30MPH, you need to take it down, but it is so easy to do it, there's no real problem. We use it 9 months a year, only coming down for the winter when heavy snow comes. Hope this helps!

No hardware is included. There are long lines attached at the three corners that are used to secure the shade to whatever hardware you choose. I first wrapped the lines around the support beams of my pergola but then purchased deck cleats to secure the lines.

It comes with heavy duty screws and hooks on the chains to connect to top bar. They seem to be high quality. I bought the hardware for the top railing from a hardware store. Good luck!

No mounting hardware comes with it as such. It has many tie down straps on it for tying to roof racks and roof baskets. You dont need anything else.

We did not anchor it to the ground . We drilled stainless screw into a wooden deck and then used attached straps to the outside loops and anchored them to give it wind stability.

On windy days I roll mine up. I don' think the metal holding the top are strong enough to hold up to higher winds. I fastened the frame to my deck rails with tie downs and that solved the problem with the wind. This winter I have kept it rolled up. Later on when the weather gets better, I will unroll it and fasten it to my deck. It makes nice shade in the summer.

We live on the beach and it can be quite windy. We haven't had any problems due to wind, but we do have the pole secured on a deck railing as well as on the deck itself.

I purchased this last summer. It comes with stakes and loops to put them through. I've had it set up on my lawn for the last several weeks (just using the stakes) and it hasn't budged, even when we had a brief hale storm. However, if you want to set it up on a deck, then yes you will need something to anchor it to the deck. Also, note it doesn't have a floor which makes sense when you think about it, but surprised me when I opened it.

I purchased the metal "tie downs" for this and have yet to install them. We've even experienced high winds (70+ mph) recently and had no problems.

I have square railing on my pontoon boat and it mounts great. Tightens very nice, but haven't caught a big fish yet to see how well it holds up them. I need this kind that I can take off and move when I need them. Can't have one mounted to the rail when I have the storage cover on. My cover is custom made. They didn't make it the way I wanted. So I need to adjust to it.

U-bolts are a good method. You also might want to drill a hole thru poles both and insert a long, locking bolt w/nut to avoid minor movement in windy conditions.

How is it secured to resist wind? Guidelines? Weights? Do either come with it and if not where are they available?

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?

Suggest bending the wire so it can be tightly wired or taped to the railing. In my case I attached the wire holder by screwing it in to the underside of the (wooden) eave. You may not want to drill into the ledge. Hope this helps.

I installed the gazebo with my son yesterday on a cement patio. I don't want to make holes in the patio to bolt it down. Any suggestions how to secure it so that a strong wind won't take it away? Thank you.

My gate is attached to a small metal railing. It works great! However I attached mine with zip ties. May not be the most attractive attachment but it works. I did not need to drill any holes in the wall or railing.
