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 think yes but you still have secure it with nails because when it's filled with soil it becomes very heavy and wobbly. great planters however. Mine were stunning last year i bought 4. :-)

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.

You can figure this out--and no one else can do it for you! Because it depends on the depth of the crown. There is an opening all along it that's the size of a 2x4--that's the smaller opening. So measure a 2x4 (they are a little smaller than 2 x 4 inches) and see whether those dimensions will come down far enough to still hold the planter on the rail of your deck.

I am in florida now and left mine up in Mass where our aapl orchard is. We had ours secured to a deck railing, so I am going to guess 2"? Not very much.

I added a toddler safety railing. It took a little bit to get it secure but it has stayed in place with no problems.

It's 24" long and I don't know if it would be secure as my rail is 4 " and this fits it securely. However, I don't believe it would be stable on 2 1/2 inch.

my railing is just under 2" and I bent the arms of the planter a bit to fit. it should fit yours quite well. be sure to drill a couple of holes for drainage.

They would be too heavy, I think. They are much heftier than a typical plastic planter for a railing.

Hi Linda, I think it will. The piece that fits around the post is adjustable, so you would be able to get it to fit around whatever size base you have, unless its really narrower and if so, you may be able to use some padding around it. There is no drilling into the railing, so that won't be a problem. Good luck!

I no longer have the planter; left it at my last address. I can tell you that it did fit on my 2x4 deck rail.

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.

Only if the railing is about 4 inches wide or wider. The bottom you feel up with small rocks it sand so it doesn't tip over. It would be hard to secure to a metal railing. Anything is possible if you have a great imagination.

I will get back to you. Just got this at work. I think my railing is a oated 2x4 (1.75x 3.5) but I need to make sure. It does fine with my railing.

If you're using it for plants you could clamp it to the railing if you have one. Anything solid that the opening on the clamp will fit onto.Clamp opens to about 4".Hard to say unless I know the layout of the balcony and what you're using it for.I would be careful about using it outdoors though,and keep it out of any wet weather. Hope that helps.

Absolutely. Just center the stand under the planter, and position the planter so you have easy access to the wheel with the locking mechanism.

Good question! I have the same issue. The problem is my deck railing is not flat ... it has a decorative "hump" that makes it 2.5" tall ... Based on the answers you got, I think this will work for me too! Thanks!
