Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

This is exactly what I was looking for to replace window boxes that had to sit on a support. They are very attractive and function perfectly. If you had a longer size I would have preferred that but this works too.

These sit perfectly on deck railing and hardware is not required. Planting area is very good as they are wide. I used the aqua mats in them and they hold onto water even during hot weather.

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

So far, I love it! They are very snug fitting and held up beautifully in a major storm recently. This storm brought down many trees in our neighborhood and even blew off 3 panels of our neighbor's fence! The real test will be how the plastic holds up to the Georgia sun all summer. Since they are a bit pricey, I hope they will last at least a couple of summers. I will be sure to come back and leave an update!

 
Reeling Over Railing Planter Boxes
By lscotVerified Purchaser from Mill Valley, CA on 5/28/2011
Pros:
Drains Well, Fills a unique niche, Holding Capacity, Lightweight, Sturdy, Weather Resistant
Cons:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

Fills a niche for plants on 4" and 6" wide deck railings that is simple and elegant in design; takes least amount of space for its purpose; just slips firmly over railing and is secure; no need for hooks, hangers or screws; available in a range of blending or bold colors and almost looks like clay ceramic. To increase versatility: make some models that are deeper and/or ones that are self-watering to increase the kinds of spaces they could be used for. To me this is the most simple and novel product Gardener's offers.

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

This fit quite nicely over my porch railing but I can still move it away when I want to rotate it for more rain or sun (it's against the house). Also, I particularly love that it's bigger than the one I had before which just sat on top of the porch railing. I can now put more flowers in it!

You can't believe how great these look on our deck railing. I have a deck that sits atop our connected garage and I bought four of these planters in the bronze color. They fit the standard railing size perfectly and after I filled them this past weekend they are flourishing beautifully. Very sturdy, very modern. I couldn't be happier.

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

This will be my first year of using the planters. I will know more about how they hold up, look, and drain, after this growing season comes to an end. Right now, they look pretty good on my deck railing, even the squirrels like to sit in them (smile)since it's too early to plant any flowers yet.

 
Works on concrete block garden wall

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

Wasn't sure if this would work on a concrete wall topped with bricks that are 2" x 6" -- but it fit on very well and is very stable. Thought the drain holes may be too small; so, drilled larger ones before installation. The Florida Jasmine I planted is growing well; and expect it will hang down over both sides of the wall. P.S. Love the unique Bronze color.

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

These are great. Our house overlooks a bayou and we frequently have a stiff breeze. Even without dirt these planters stayed on the deck rail and didn't move. I'm using them for herbs but flowers would be beautiful as well. I highly recommend these planters.

Since there is no such thing as 'enough' planting on railings gives me additional space to indulge in more flowers. I also have this product in the 2 x 4 size on my 100 plus year old front porch where it looks lovely.

 
Tulips again, thanks to Gardener's Suppl

Bottom Line:

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

Railing planters are part of my Gardener's Supply-inspired scheme for having tulips again. Deer made me give up tulips, and I couldn't even grow them in pots on our raised deck -- groundhogs climbed the stairs and helped themselves! This year I will fill railing planters with tulips and bury the planters in 3'x3'grow beds topped with a pop-up net. The grow beds will make it easy to dig, the net will protect the developing bulbs, and when the tulips are about to bloom, I'll dig the planters and install them on the deck railing, out of groundhog reach. I can't wait to see if this plan works, and I thank Gardener's Supply for finding all this wonderful equipment. P.S. I grew lettuce (2 crops) in grow beds under pop-up bird nets this summer with great success.

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

We wanted to put window boxes on our railing of the front deck but didn't want the ones with brackets. Those always look like they are tilted forward and didn't seem sturdy enough. We love these and want to order a couple more.

weak production quality
By knight_planterVerified Purchaser from Boston, MA on 7/17/2010
Pros:
Worked fine after fix
Cons:
Drain holes undrilled

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

Initially I needed to drill out the half of the drain holes that were not drilled (3 of 6) on each container. That should NOT be necessary. After that the containers worked to my satisfaction.

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

This railing planter was a gift for my daughter who is not really a gardener. But she was SO successful last summer with her "little flower garden" that she wanted another one this year to brighten up the other side of her deck.

Planted two types of herbs that needed drier soil...therefore, the extra holes were needed but we used natural paper coffee filters over the holes so precious soil mix will not drain out.

 
2X6 deck planters I love them....

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

I purchased four of these 2 x 6 deck planters in white to place on our deck because the pots that I had been using took up entirely too much space. I love these planters. Not only are they conservative on space but they are so showey. My flowers now stand up where even the neighbors can enjoy them. And the wind doesn't bother them which is another plus... Would highly recommend these planters to anyone...

 
Already bought more....

Pros:

Cons:
Some issues with moisure
Best Uses:
Outdoor plants on deck
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

Much better solution than previous boxes I had which sat on hooks that fit over railing. They tended to sag and occasionally got knocked off. These are attractive and fit securely. Plastic is heavy weight so dirt doesn't stretch the sides. Could use a bit more drainage (are a few small holes) and I am noticing a bit of moisure buildup under them. (Likely from rain and sprinklers)

This is a great product
By ElaineVerified Purchaser from Birmingham, AL on 6/3/2010
Pros:
Easy to plant, Easy to store, Stays secure
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

We live on top of a ridge and I had concerns these planters would just blow away but to my amazement they stay put even during the worst wind gusts. Since the planters straddle the deck rail the flowers spill over both sides of the deck creating a beautiful view from both directions.

I bought the smaller version a couple of years ago and they are holding up beautifully. And at the end of the season they are light weight and easy to store until the following year. I am a big fan!

 
Too pricey

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

Soon after receiving ours, I saw the SAME planters for nearly half the price at a local garden center. It spoiled the pleasure of ours and will continue to until I can forget how much money was wasted. The planters themselves are beautiful and enhance the railings of our deck, discreetly, allowing the flowers to get all the attention: just the way planters should be.

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

Unlike some railing planters, yours have good width so plants can be placed next to each other to trail down both sides of the planter. The planter is also nice and deep so they stay moist longer and plants have room to for their root systems.
They also fit very well on the railing and are very stable.
My plants are doing great.

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

The planters look very good on our modern deck, and fit securely on our six inch wide railings. They're just a little snug and you have to wedge them down, which is perfect. I have no complaints about them.

Bottom Line:

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

The 30 in planter clings to the railing, but the 25in planter seems to wobble. I wish they were self-watering, though I am glad the water does not drip on the railing. I have lined the 5 planters all along my front entrance, filled with pansies to stave off winter.

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

The decks in our townhome development are quite close together, so these planters have provided us with great privacy and I don't have to worry about them blowing over or off in the wind. I also am pleased that they match the containers I previously ordered from you.

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

The loden color looks great with bronze railings on my deck. Planter is very sturdy and sits well on the railing. I simply put a few small potted planters inside. It looks good and the pots are secure.

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

I have a mixture of green plants with a flowering plant in the center. It sits very sturdily on the railing around our deck. My only complaint is that one of the drain holes was not punched out, so we had to drill it out. Other than that, I am very satisfied with it, and plan to purchase a second one.

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

One product I have not been happy with is the biodegradable bags for the compost pail. Many of them come apart before you can even put them in the pail. It's been a while since I purchased these but I just never got around to saying anything about it.

Thanks for listening.

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

I had already purchased two railing planters a couple of years ago and I liked them so much I ordered two larger ones for the end of my deck. The best thing about them (for me) is that they can take the high winds that blow through our area much of the time. I don't have to worry about the planters blowing off my deck railing. Since our deck overlooks the neighbor, the flowers in these planters are visible from all over. Also, by moving by plants to the railings I have more free space on my deck's surface. I can't think of one negative thing about these planters, they're great!

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

We live in deer country. So the only way I can enjoy flowers is to put them up on our deck. We have 4 around our deck railing and I feel like I'm in a flower garden. I've looked for this product in stores but haven't found any as nice. I'm glad I purchased them.

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

We are a "Regestered Wildlife Preserve" and use your product for plants and flowers that provide not only natures colors, it allows for food and water for many species of birds and squirels. One is used for fresh water, another for many seeds for birds etc.. the remaing are for flowering plants that provide even more food for butterflies and insects (benificial for most plants). One problem is, it should come with adjustments for a normal 2x6 (5 1/2")

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

We get comments from our neighbors on our railing flower beds. We put in flowers that, as they grow, spill over the railing and down the front of the porch. It is also nice that the flowers give you privacy on the porch at night when you are sitting enjoying the night sky.

Rode Into Town On a Rail
By SocrateachVerified Purchaser from North Carolina on 5/9/2009
Pros:
Clever design, Well Made
Best Uses:
Herbs, Patio Gardening
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:

I prefer to grow herbs on my deck in order to have easy access when cooking. This planter is the perfect solution, in that it's large enough to grow several plants, plus it's saddling design does not damage my deck. I've read that the lighter colors are preferred by most herbs, and my basil, oregano, chives, and parsley are seemingly in agreement so far.
