I'd like to attach this to my deck railing. Is it pretty easy to remove the window box from the brackets when it's time to change the plants?

Can this be used as a centerpiece of a kitchen island? I want to plant 5 orchids in individual 6" diameter planters within. Are all sides of the walls identical? Meaning one side of the planter is designed not to be seen (mounting holes for wall installation which would not be visibly appealing)

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?

Yes. My technique uses wood shims slid between the three bottom brackets and the flower box to release front edge. Weight depends on how much water is in the internal reservoir. I just did this a couple of weeks ago.

Either. The cut outs in the bottom will allow the planter to sit on the rating or you can buy "rail hanger" to hang it from the railing. Either way works well. We use both.

This flower box holder is designed to attach to be used with a deck railing that is 2-6 inches wide. It cannot be mounted directly to a home.

I put my hangers on a 2"x6" railing... They stayed in place 6 months. I hung hanging baskets from all of them.. I switched the plants around numerous times.. Still the hangers did not loosen..

The divider is mounted to brackets that slide in the deck rails. The brackets do have to be removed at the end of the rails. The divider itself can easily be removed from the brackets at any point using the 2 twist knobs that attach it.

Well, we just put ours up again this year on an 8'X10' deck we built for it. I will definitely need anchoring and yesterday I purchased some thin threaded rods that I am going to install between the decking boards and fasten the feet of the frame with washers and wing nuts. I don't really want to drill holes in my deck, so I am hoping this will work. Also, I put plastic shelving inside on both sides of the tent with my plants on them; this also helps to secure it from windy and stormy weather. I will need to put some kind of heat source inside, as well; not sure what though. I like the idea of the reptile heater and am going to look into that. Hope this helps.

It is super easy to assemble. It isn't really strong enough to support heavy plant material in an open area subject to winds. However, is great next to or attached to a fence at a gateway, etc. I used 4 pieces of 24" rebar pounded into the ground attached to arch with some hose clamps. That stablelizes it and works great and doesn't cost much. If you want to use it freestanding for a wedding or something you can attach it to two sections of 4" x "4 wood. Just lay wood flat and drill 2 holes in each section to match the four bottom prongs of the arch. It is tall enough for most purposes. Good luck with your project. It is super easy to assemble.

Yes it can be removed as it is bolted into the anchors mounted into the deck.

They are hollow. Your soil goes in there. You probably can't trim anything off. The part that hangs down is the part that holds it to the rail so the wind won't blow it off of your railing. I have 3 of them on my railing. Then my husband found some round ones on Amazon to go in the corners. They look real nice with flowers and vinca vines hanging down off of my deck rail. Hope this helps.

Mine did not come with brackets. I ordered the appropriate color brackets to match my railing separately. It significantly adds to the total cost of the planters but mine are in their 3rd season and still look like brand new...well worth what initially seemed like an excessive cost.

I live in an apartment and have a wood fence walling off one side of my balcony. I hung it up on the fence using zip ties tied around the slats. You could also use screw in hooks like the ones that you hang hanging planters from. The tabs at the top are loops.

No I wouldn't as the weigh of the flower box might twist or distort the vinyl railings. I would get the flower box that sits on the railing. It's made for 4" and 6" railings

You don't need to do anything but place it on the rail and add your planting stuff. I've had mine sitting on my deck rail for over a year now.We've had some bad weather in Boston during the past year and the planter is just fine. I just planted a new geranium in it last week!

No, very easy. Put the pieces together with the screws included, add the strips of weather foam and shut the window.

It looks like it CAN be removed but I wouldn't recommend it. It's too top heavy and likely would tip with the slightest breeze. It has holes in the bottom so you can bolt it down, though. I just tuck the bottom crossbars under the deck railings for stability and it works rather well. Hope that helps! :D

I believe you can certainly remove the suction cup. That was also my thought when I first saw it. Then I decided to leave it as I could always remove it later. It really is very nice to keep the container firmly planted where you set it and I think you will be glad to have it. Its design of "leaning forward" I think might cause it to tip over without the suction, but again, try it your way to see what happens.

We have no need to screw a planter box to an exterior wall. Ours look beautiful as free-standing units on either side of the front door. When the planter boxes are loaded with potting soil, plants and then watered, they are not easily lifted. We chose not to attach wheels to the boxes. I do not think these units are intended to be screwed to anything! There are window flower boxes that can be attached to house exterior, but of course they would be MUCH smaller than these free-standing units.
