Is it possible to order the longer screws to fit railings greater than 2 inches? Also, how much weight can it hold?

We didn't need to do that.It's too small to hold a large off set umbrella so we are using for a smaller umbrella near the pool. I don't know exactly how much weight it will hold but that is probably mentioned in the description. I don't see why you couldn't just go to the hardware store and buy the screws you'd like.

The description says it will accommodate a railing 2 inches thick. My railing is 1" thick and there is plenty of extra room. I would say that the 2" description is accurate. I really like this pole. It is sturdy and easy to attach.

Should be able to do that, not sure of the length of the the screws that are included, but that's just a trip to the hardware store for longer screws if need be

It appears to fit only 2x4 or 2x6 railings. It could be modified, but would probably be tippy.

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!

The brackets are set at a 90 degree angle. I would not suggest it for round railings.

Not exact, but likely no more than 2 inches - or custom mounting bracket will be needed.

It should. My railing was square and only 1 1/2" wide. We just stuffed plastic bags around the base and it is holding just fine because the weight of the soil and plants holds it on. We have lots of wind in the area that I have it and have had no problems.

Drill a hole in the railing at the spot where the screw in the clamp will contact the railing and position the screw in the hole. That should hold it in place.

We actually put it on a metal round railing but it would most likely fit up to a four inch board railing. I got two and gave them to a friend. They are really nice.

The screws are pretty short. They only extend out from the back surface of the rail by 3/8 of an inch. I measured them.

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.

Depends on the thickness and how much weight you plan hang on it. Definitely doable but you might need to replace the original screws with ones suitable for the type of wood you plan to squeeze them into.

The screws a little long, it would depend on how tall you want it too. 4" isn't far off the ground. Hope this helps

the way my railing was on my deck I couldn't mount them the traditional way, I mounted under the railing, it worked great, but you have to be precise in your measurements, mark it well, have someone help you, they can hold. If you send me a cell phone number, I will take a picture for you and send it

If that's the case simply buy longer screws at the hardware store. It a good product.

William -- the brackets are square with a little bit of a hook on the end and appear to be designed to fit dimensional lumber (not round). The railing on my deck is a 5/4" x 6" (nominal 5-1/2") deck rail and it fits perfectly. Now, if you are handy and can fashion something to enable it to strap around a round rail, then it would work. Maybe a few nuts/bolts and pipe hanger strapping (comes in a coil).
