My fence/rail is made of white plastic; the typical "townhous" fence. The rail is almost 2" - which planter will fit, and is my fence strong enough for this?

We also live in townhouse with the white plastic railings, they fit fine for us. Fence I am not sure of, depends how much soil and plants you put in it. They are heavy when filled.

I don't think it would be stable. I have the white plastic rail on my deck, but the rail is 3.5" wide. A perfect fit. It would probably wobble on a 2" rail. I have seen other containers that fit the 2" rail or 4". That would probably be a better choice for your rail. Hope this helped.

I had a similar problem. I got the smaller version (maybe 2x4"?). I bought some 1/2" thick styrofoam and cut two 2x10" strips, used double sided tape and taped to the sides of the channel. They really fit snug and have not moved a bit even in high winds. I do not think the weight should be a problem. Someone else suggested using bubble wrap but the styrofoam worked better for me. Good luck.

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!

Yes it will. I did use a piece of the wood included which I cut to size to fill in a small gap. Behind the piece that secures it to the metal railing.

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.

I don't think it would work - mine are on a 2" x 6" porch rail - the brackets are made to clip over - they are heavy when full, but they are easy to take down and store for the winter. I think they make a planter for fence application?

I am pretty sure ours are three inch. The planter box fits a couple different size deck railings. We are very happy with these. We left them out all winter and they weathered just fine. I just planted pansies in them for the spring.

Yes, you can certainly attach these to a railing using either zip ties or simply some wire. You will love these planters. They transformed my porch into a little sanctuary.

I would have to measure to make sure. My rails seemed pretty thin, but they fit a little too snugly into to small sized bracket and make the plastic. But they're working, so I'll just order the larger one if/when these break. I also looked in an RV catalog and could not find great specs on which one to get.

I have mine connected via the strap to balcony rail. It sould work although a 2x4 might struggle with the load of water, plants and the wet soil

It's meant to snugly fit a 2x4 with the planter resting atop the 4" side. So, no, if you're mounting it on the 2 inch wide side , the planter will sit on it, but it won't be snug and secure.

Not sure -- probably not. I ordered and continue to use the ones that fit a 4" railing. I know they also make them to fit a 6" railing but don't know about a 2" version.

The top part of the planter box is about 7 # so I'm sure it would be find for a terrabox that is at least 6" or 7" high. Anything shorter probably won't look so good.

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.

Yes, it fits over the deck railing, very secure. I love mine. I also have the large long planters that fit on railing. This round on is a nice size. Hope this helps.

Fits a standard 2x6 width, which is really only 5.5" wide, so your 6" wide rail is too large. Too bad, these are really nice planter boxes. We have a total of six on our deck and we really like them.

I assume you are asking about the planter? I bought it last year; don't recall that it came with any hardware. The railing top is supposed to fit in the middle section of the planter and that is supposed to keep it in place. Unfortunately, my railing was much narrower than the opening on the planter. I had to get pieces of wood and then glue them on the planter to make up the space. After adding the dirt, I secured a number of shims to ensure a tight fit. I discovered that I had to adjust the shims frequently throughout the summer. Also, because the middle section of the planter sits on the railing, the planting depth at that point is quite shallow. Hope that helps. I assume you are asking about the planter? I bought it last year; don't recall that it came with any hardware.

I believe the gate adapter needs a flat surface on the banister for it to be attached securely. Otherwise, it will most likely just end up twisting around out of place. Most wrought iron railings I see have skinny round banisters but if yours is different and you can find flat parts (even thin ones) then it might work for you.

I would say "yes" to a six inch rail. My railing is 4" and it fits the first "cut" or the deck box. The second cut is for a six inch railing. The weight of the flowers and dirt keeps it on the rail well. We have gone through some extremely windy and rainy days and no problem.
