my railing is 7" wide x 2 thick. Will the brackets fit securely?

I just checked and mine is 5-6" so I think 7" will be a stretch= not enough. However, I think it's such a beautiful flowerbox I'd find a way to rig it up with a part from a hardware store (or easier yet= some picture framing wire??) Also if you go to the hdwe. store replace the wingnuts & screws with stainless steel as mine started rusting immediately. I bought 4 of these and they're high-quality= enjoyable!!

The 7" will work but the bracket is at max at 1.5" thick, so i don't think it will work for you

Our top rail measures the same and we bought the 2 x 4. Fits snugly and won't move unless you move it. Our deck looks beautiful now. Pat

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.

Fits best on 2x4 or 2x6 railings...can be modified but not nearly as stable.

The thickness of the bracket is 3/16". If what you are talking about is you have 3/16' left exposed with nut tightened they should work.

If railing was a 4X4 these would be great, but for 2" metal railings (like a NY French balcony railing) the brackets were huge and completely unusable. It's a lovely container though and I did manage to attach it with cables and clips.

An easier way to do it would be to just lay a 2" steel pipe across top. The brackets would fit right over that. That's the way I did mine.

I think the shape of the brackets would not fit correctly over a round rail. Sorry.

The screws on top adjust to all railings. My railing is not even 3" and it holds it perfectly.

By my measurements, the brackets can be mounted at most 33 1/2" apart. Based on that, I would have to say it would not fit.

I used two brackets for mine, but rod sags a bit in the middle. May decide to add another bracket.

No, the brackets will not fit on the 2" studs. What I did was attach the brackets on a 2" x 4" x 3' board (laying flat) at your predetermined spacing to allow for the bike to hang straight. I than used three 3" long heavy duty screws with 1/4" center hole and 1 1/4" diameter. These racks (2) are not coming down.

I can attest that since my doors were too thick, the provided brackets did not fit, but a quick email sent to customer service via the Whitmor.com website, and a week later, I had wider brackets free of charge, and they fit my doors perfectly. Mine are those old doors and about 2 inches.

No. The brackets are bent to fit on any bar, round or flat, but the openings are only 2" across. The rack on my truck is made out of 2" tubing and I had replace the bracket bolts with longer ones in order for it to work.

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.

Yes. The brackets will hold very well but without the spacers it will be too loose.

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.
