I have a 5 inch railing on my porch. Would I be able to secure these easily?

I had a full 4" railing so I bought 2x6's and attached the 2x6 to the 4" platform. When the boxes slip over the 2X6's they are quite secure.

I would think so, they do have built-in channels fit standard screws for added stability. Thank you.

My railing is about 5 1/4" and the items fit perfectly. I have 6 of them. I do not plant items directly into the planter, but instead use the rectangular plastic containers that organic spinach and lettuce come in, and the circular ones that some of our lettuce comes in. I punch holes in those plastic items. Much easier to change out plants--I have all kinds of herbs and lettuce on my lanai. The planters fit very securely and have not been blown off even in very high winds without any screws to secure.

As Josh answered, no need to secure them as they fit snugly over the 4" wide railing -- they have about a four inch cutout and once they're planted the soil is heavy enough to keep them in place.

yes is the right way to install a railing that can be removed for maintance

I don't think you would have any problems as I have the same type of railing and we have two on the back deck. The look absolutely wonderful and I am constantly getting compliments on the planters. Good luck and have a great summer. I forgot to mention that we shimmed a small sliver of wood in between the planter and rail and have had no problems at all!

In short, yes. However, if you can find a way to secure it to a deck railing/post, you might be ok. Take note that this screen is very "flimsy". You get what you pay for. I would suggest spending a bit more money and getting something of better quality. But if you decide to go with this item and do not like it the company is good with refunds and easy to deal with. Hope this helps.

Yes it should work. I used it on my wooden railing. What I did was drill holes it the plastic and used plastic ty-raps to secure it the railing.

You could thru bolt a one foot piece of 2×6 to each side of the fence and then mount the holds to that. I suspect they may be a bit spongy as the chain link fence has some give but, it would work.

Mine are 4 inches wide and they fit quite securely. I would think they would be much less secure on a 2 inch railing.

Yes but you will need a way to secure the posts on the bottom. Maybe in small planters or by brick

My railings are only 1" wide so the planters slope forward rather than hanging upright. The thicker the railing the more upright the planter boxes will be. I think 3" would be perfect. And, be sure to add drainage holes. I used an awl and hammer and it worked perfectly.

I think you can use your Box Spring. I orderd over Amazon higher railing which i Love because i can store boxes underneath

Yes, I have round railings and it works fine. There are pads around the hangers so you can still get a secure fit around a round railing.

Might be a bit heavy depending on your existing deck railing and its re enforcing I couldn't be certain.

I installed these on my sis's railing that is 2" wide. (top of rail is a 2x6 placed vertically). I cut 2x2 pieces of lumber just the length of each planter and screwed them onto the railing, then placed the planter over them.. they don't show, and the planter fits very securely. she loves them!

Mine are on top of a 1"x6" top rail on my deck, secured down w/ screws. There are pre drilled holes to attach thru, and they are totally secure once attached w/ screws.

You can, but i'm not sure how you'd secure it. It will sit there and sit flat, but you'll want to find a way to secure it to the railing.

I added a toddler safety railing. It took a little bit to get it secure but it has stayed in place with no problems.
