Can they be screwed onto flat railing AND fit on a 4x4 post as well? We have both on our new deck

It has been so long since we put these in. I know they sit well on the post. I think we broke of the side tabs and if that is the case then yes you should be able to screw onto flat railings.

Can definitely be screwed onto a flat railing. Our deck was pulled down from water rot -- just got the new one put up -- and once we stain with redwood sealer, we have new white Pagoda lights to match our white pagoda lanterns around the pool. These new lights do allow the bottom to separate, so that they can fit over a post, so I know what you mean by this question. Sorry, I cannot remember if our copper solar lights could also slide atop a post. They should unsnap apart easily if you own them and want to try both ways.

Yes, I have them screwed on top of my posts on a flat surface. I would caution you that these lights aren't very reliable. I bought 4 about a year ago - now only 2 light up

It is up to you. I used a 4 X 4 wooden post that is working quite well. Best wishes.

Not exactly. You'd have to cut or file the post down for it to fit. We put them on top of 4" x 4"s and we had to sand/file them in places where the wood wasn't exactly 4" x 4"

No sir, they fit 5 inches only, if you use them on a 4" post they will fall off

yes and no. if you see those little wings on the side they actually would attach to a deck railing. yes they fit on the post, but with wings. They are pretty decent for the price and work.

If you are asking whether they fit on a standard 4x4 post cap, they will. The lower base has screw holes both on the side and the top, though you may need to place a wood block under the lower base because the plastic will crack when you screw it in due to the gap underneath. The reflective portion of the light is just above the screws and snaps into place, so removing them again may involve breaking it.

They wont work for a metal railing, they are meant for a lumber rail, like a 2x4 type railing. I thought the hardware included fittings for a metal rail (the little curved fitting pictured) but the only fittings at all are the type for a wooden deck rail. I ordered the item twice, hoping I had just gotten an incomplete set...nope the second shipment did not include the other hardware fittings either. The picture is misleading because you do not receive all the hardware shown, if it did the window box holder could be installed in multiple applications.

If the railing is the same size as 4 inches wide, yes they will and you will truly enjoy them

I would say probably not. Our posts were exactly 4x4 and they fit really snug. I bet you could shave a little off the top to put then on because they are really nice for the price.

They do fit well on top of 4 x 4 posts. They come with 1 screw each to secure them. Really like the looks of them, but sorry to say, they do not last very long. I had 4 out within 4 months and now, 7 out of 8 no longer work.

Yes, on any standard flat top rail or risers you might have. Risers not included.

If the railing is hollow, I wouldn't recommend it; unless you change out the screws for long bolts & nuts, and run them all they way through the other side of the bracket.

The lower frame is designed to fit over the end of a 4X4 post. It is secured by screwing provided screws thru the side of the base into the wood. I suppose you could improvise by creating a 4X4 block to attach the light to, then attach the block to the rail. Guess depends on how wide/narrow your rail is too. Suppose it could work, with possible modification.

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!

Yes you can purchase brackets that add on to the L shape bracket it comes with. You can Google them as Mayne deck rail brackets.

Sure, but I bought a 12 foot wether resistant 4x4 and sunk that 2 foot and mounted it on that. It might be a little difficult the way you want it cause fence poles are usually 2" in diameter. But it could be done. I would prefer something flat like the 4x4.

I don't think it will fit. My posts are exactly 4" and the fitting is very snug.
