I can only tell you about my situation. I hung my bracket outside my window to hang a bird feeder on. I angled it so that I can see it when I'm lying in bed. I would say the brackets are sturdy enough to support a 10" basket, but since I'm only hanging a 1 pound bird feeder, I can't say for sure.

Very stable and strong. I hung mine at just above the rail and can see the birds feeding from a seated position on my deck. My deck is covered so the rail posts go all the way up to the shed roof. If you mount to the top of your rail post, you should be fine.

I hang plants and large bird feeders from them, very strong, wind won't bother them.

Mine is mounted about 5 feet above the deck and the long feeder can be clearly seen from inside.

Yup. I've seen it done. There's nothing precision or high-tech about mounting these. Find a couple of attachment points at least eight inches apart to clamp to the top wire of the basket, and it's probably a good idea to find a point to tether the bottom of the basket to prevent swinging. The included mounting hardware probably won't work, but a couple of hose clamps from any hardware or auto store will do nicely. My question is - do you want a pair of these? You can order these baskets singly, and I'm wondering even if there was room for two on the back of your chair, one above the other, if you'd want that much of a load on the back.

Mounted on 4x4 posts for a table I made for my tablesaw It seems very stable to me. Hope this helps.

I have used them a few times to hold down a 10x10 canopy. They seemed to work well, but we never had terribly high wind with them. They are supposed to be better because they hold the legs at the bottom and not the top which compromises the strength of the canopy. They weigh more filled up than what I was using previously so I will keep using them. It does make it hard to put your sides on if you have to close up for the night though.

I don't know the weight load the frame will support, but yes, I think you could hang a plant or two on the peak metal rafter. It has held up well after one year. My wife has it full of plants to protect from the cold. All together, I would bet they weight around 150 lbs.

1. They are not thick enough to stand on their own. They a very flexible and need to be hung rather than free-standing. They have the c hooks to join them together in 3 pre-drilled holes - one hole on each corner and one in the middle (or they would sag). 2. I used them as a window decoration to obscure an ugly view of a neighbors unkempt yard and roofline. I hung 2-across & 2-down. Your measurement will depend on A)how high your ceiling is and B) if you plan on going floor to ceiling or is you are going to use fishing line to hang them a couple of feet below the ceiling. They will not be a hard, wall like surface and will move around as people bump into them or even in the breeze of an open door or window. Mine are very attractive in the window and serve their purpose of adding privacy and add to the overall look of my shabby chic office. Hope this helps.

I don't have the hooks at my house, but I do remember that they are NOT at a right angle, and they are not flat. I would guess that they are about 30-45 degree angle.I like the way they fit so I didn't even have to think about having to adjust them. They are quite stout, so would take a vice and pry bar to get them to move. If you did you might damage the finish.

if you have cats, hang your plants. a couple hooks in the top of a window frame, clear fishing line, some binder rings and mini planters / pails with holes in the sides for binder rings and you can have an entire hanging garden. ive got about 30 in my window right now. good luck

Do you mean, work with hanging hooks? I'm sure they would. I was going to use mine to hang some ferns in the front of my house/front door.

Yes they are well built. I bought them for plants so my cat can't eat them but I have not hung them so can't say if they'd take the weight of a full plant hanging; not sure I'd try it. But they are lovely on a table or windowsill.

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?

We used a swag hook from the ceiling. THat proved too high for me to reach easily (I'm only 5 feet tall), so we hung a wire hanger from the hook and the basket from the hanger.

An interesting question, and in this case it doesn't really matter because the wood frame that the hooks would be attached to isn't square or level. Therefore, hooks or not, it would not hang straight.

Use to hang plants outside (weight 10-12 pounds), no bend in the hanger. However, did have to get longer screws as the ones provided were too short (pulled out of fence when rained or wind). Longer screws work perfectly, no problems with hanger at all!!

I have not mounted mine yet. waiting for summer. I plan to use anchor screws. the boards are light. good luck.

They just fit on top of the posts that we left sticking up on our deck. They just fit snug, no screws or anything. I will try to take a picture tonight with them lit up and post it for you. They really look nice. I thought they would look kind of cheap, but we have gotten only compliments on them!

The cubes certainly aren't built for hanging - you could modify them either by drilling some mounting holes or attaching brackets, but they are made of particle board which is not sturdy. I would not recommend modifying them to be hung.Probably the only way to "hang" them would be to buy some shelving brackets ( Black HD Steel Shelf Bracket, 12" High ) and place the box on top of 2-3 of these brackets. It won't be pretty, and you're almost certainly better off looking for a different box/shelf.
