Would this be suitable for a high-rise balcony railing or are they liable to topple? I won't want to break City ordinances and decapitate anyone.

The recess is designed for the width of a wooden deck railing. It is probably 6" wide, and flat at the "top". You are better off with the window box type that have hooks for a typical metal balcony railing.

Depending on the railing. It is designed to fit over a 2" X 4" wooden rail. I screwed mine to the wooden rail with 4 wood screws apiece. They will also drip when you water them as there are pre-drilled holes. Unless you screw them down, or somehow affix them, I would not trust them to sit on a rail. They are however quite durable and do their job!

I do not believe you will have any problems with it toppling off of the railing. It fits snugly if you order the right size.

We're hanging a step stoll for ours, but it is attached to a wall and less than a foot off the ground. I wouldn't recommend using it to hang anything from the ceiling and nothing over 5 pounds which if I remember correctly is the weight limit on these. That is nothing your afraid won't fall and hit someone if it did.

I have asked several firefighters about this. I do not have a lip or crown molding around the window either. They all said that even if my window did have it, they are only nailed in with small bradnails and would NOT make this ladder any more stable. They say is is perfectly fine to use, as the the white part of the clamp, is shorter than the red clamp that attatches to the outside of the house. This will make your weight help secure the clamps. I hope this made since. If my escape is cut off, I have to jump out the 2 story with airconditioner units under me. I'll be shredded. This is what I got. I'll keep looking and asking experts about this ladder. But so far the three firefighters have all said this WILL WORK and that is was a smart purchase. Good luck.

It would work fine... I would just roll over the top a few times before I secured it to the top!

I have never had to use the escape ladder (thank God) but although it is designed to stand off from a wall, I see no reason why it wouldn't work off a balcony...the whole point is getting out and on the ground without jumping.

If you're using it for plants you could clamp it to the railing if you have one. Anything solid that the opening on the clamp will fit onto.Clamp opens to about 4".Hard to say unless I know the layout of the balcony and what you're using it for.I would be careful about using it outdoors though,and keep it out of any wet weather. Hope that helps.

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.

No, I wouldn't chance it. The legs are metal, but the top is some kind of cardboard. It would get ruined quickly in that scenario.

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

The hooks seem to work on my balcony railings. However, what doesn't work is trying to climb the ladder that is swinging in space, since my balcony protrudes out from the wall. However, I'm going to test and see if the ladder will work with someone holding it at the bottom. (Since I live on a busy street and think in a fire emergency I can probably expect there to be somebody around who would respond to my calls for help to hold the ladder.)

That I don't know. I would think any nail would bend if it hits bricks or concrete. If you just go into the wall plaster, they should be fine. I haven't used mine yet as I'm waiting to move within the next month or two, but when they came and I looked at them, they seem to be as good as any others. Just a much bigger assortment to choose from.

No. That wouldn't be a safe option. This item is meant for a side rail to be screwed to the wood plank the comes with it. I wouldn't suggest using this item in that way

I would not recommend using this divider outside on a balcony... Moisture and sun would damage it.

I want to say no. Railing comes in two pieces, but the half your talking about wouldn't have any support. You would have to ridge something, tape, then the panels might leave an opening.

I bought this and I think that would work just fine! Keep in mind the higher you go- the more likely it will be to tip. So make sure you take extra precautions for safety!!! These are very well made and look great!

I don't think it would work out well, they are light so they would probably just fall over, maybe on concrete if the wind isn't blowing.

I would say no. I had a terrible time getting this on my balcony I finally used bungie cords to hold it in place! I can't see it on a wall maybe a carpenter could figure something out. These are very heavy.
