Will the planter be secure on a 3 1/2" railing?

I had a problem with mine because my railing isn't flat. It's rounded so this couldn't be used.

Our porch railing is almost 5 1/2 inches wide and the planter is secure. We don't know if it would work on your railing...

It fits snugly on a standard 2x4 wood railing. The standard dimension of one is 1.5 inches x 3.5 inches, so yes, it is secure on one.

I have it mounted on a 2 inch metal railing, but that is the max to clamp onto. It opens just over 2 inches wide.

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.

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.

I do not believe you will have any problems with it toppling off of the railing. It fits snugly if you order the right size.

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.

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

The screws on top adjust to all railings. My railing is not even 3" and it holds it perfectly.

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.

My deck railing is 3 1/2" and they hook right over it with not much wiggle room, it is not adjustable, coated metal that probably with a lot of muscle could be bent but if you bent it 2" I don't think it would grab the railing properly.

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

As long as the bracket fits the railing and the planter's dimensions, it will work

Assuming that you wanted the privacy screen to be over 6 ft in height, attaching to only the top crown railing probably wouldn't be enough support to handle the height of the thin latticework. But if you attached at the bottom rail and again at the top (requiring a larger piece of lattice) it would likely work. You might want to consider the Monarch 72" planter, which has a larger moulding profile at the top and bottom rails

Yes this clamp is large enough for your railing. It will accommodate a railing up to about 4 inches deep and the width does not factor into it as it extends across for stability but is clamped actually clamped about an inch from the edge.

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!

All the installation kit is is a pair of plastic clamps that hold onto the railing. A wood bar attaches to the clamps with screws, and that piece of wood is how the fence attaches. As long as the metal railing is thick enough, there won't be a problem. And even if it's too thin, you could add a piece of rubber or padding to essentially make the railing thick enough to accept the minimum clamp allowance. It's an extremely simple design, and one you could easily makeshift with a 1"x2"x3' pine board and two clamps from the hardware store.

No, it won't tip. Filled with dirt and plants, it's solid and sits securely on the rail.
