Please clarify your question 're:30" pot (fit). The word 'pot' is confusing to me. A pot is typically round. No a 30" pot will not fit in the (adjustable to a max of 36") rectangular holder. And yes the holder will hold securely in either position over your 3" square (?) railing.

It's really designed for a 2x4-2x6 railing, but it's pretty adjustable. You might have to .. for a better word .. mickey mouse it in place on the railing. I have 2x4 wood railings, one of them I had to squeeze the clamps under better. The only thing bad about it .. unless you know how they are supposed to fit, all info is in French. :)

I'm thinking that a 3" wide rail is too small. They adjust from about 4-6" rail width. (I believe) As well as for width of planter. I think 3" would make the entire thing too wobbly.

When you install the rail, you will need to mount it to a fairly stable surface above your grow area. The system works best when mounted to a surface like a 2 x 4. You would need to figure out how to mount that board in a stable manner above your grow area. If nothing else you could build a couple of supports at each end of your tent to support the 2 x 4 or something similar that holds the rails. The rail needs to be mounted properly or you will have problems.

Measure across top of planter and get a round or square just smaller than planter dimensions and a bit shorter so that pot is completely hidden. I have round ones in my planters and the pot doesn't show once the plant material is added.

The decorative piece will cover the hole but the bracket that attaches inside the pot light will not be big enough. This bracket holds the weight of the hanging light so it's important that it properly fits. If you were 4 or 6 inches you would be good. 8 inches is too big.

If the top rail is a standard 2x6, the planter will sit there without any additional hardware or shims. The center section of the planter fits perfectly on the rail, and the two projections from the bottom keep the planter from sliding. It works well.

The pot is intended to be used on a wood deck railing made of 2" x 4"s. The bottom of the pot slips over the railing and sits very securely on the top of the railing. The pot is not stable just sitting on a surface - it has to be snapped onto a 2" x 4" railing. I hope that answers your question.

It is a very sturdy plant stand. I think it would work. I have a very large, very heavy, ceramic pot on it with a Japanese Maple planted in.

My rail is 2 inches wide this pot just made it. There is no play at all. It don't think it will fit at all. You need To go to the next size to be safe

This is a standard height so as long as you don't buy a low profile or gas block height and mount it on the rail you should be fine

Yes, but it depends on how heavy the potted plants are (after you add water to soil). The arm itself is metal and strong.

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.

My guess is that it would be loose and not stable. My planter fits snug on a 2x4 so it's held in place.

It is made to fit a 3.5 inch or 5.5 inch wide railing. I think if you put a 1/2 inch spacer along the side of the railing would work.

Hi, Murphy: Yes, I would say you definitely could do that, providing it didn't weigh a "ton". It is such a nice holder for plants and if you were careful what you put into it I am pretty sure it would work out fine for you providing it wasn't a huge plant. Good luck!

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 have a display of 6" 8" and 12" assorted clay pots hanging and have had no problems. Just make sure the surface you attach the clip to is strong enough to support the weight.

I have metal rails. Ones that are pretty much a square. With time, the bed was sinking in the middle. I bought this piece for support. It doesn't "attach" to the metal rails, but it stays in place provided that it is adjusted properly. I haven't had an issue with it since I've purchased it.
