Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I love these planters for my front patio, bought 3 and they really add a nice touch. However, one of that planters (the one facing North) does not want to stay on the railing when there is a strong wind - it has become my nemesis. I live in NYC- Long Island and it's not like we have ridiculous storms, but it just refuses to stay on and reluctantly has ruined all my beautiful plantings in it from falling to the ground. Yesterday was a windy day- rainstorm pending, it fell over 2x's. I found a bungee cord and tied it around and it still flip-flopped front to back- but at least did not fall over completely. The planter fits nicely over the railing, but be forewarned it is not a 'snug' fit. With all that being said, I still really likethem b/c they do not damage the vinyl railing and look nice.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I have had these for several years now and they look as good as new. I store them inside during the winter, add new soil and plants and bring them out every spring. A great value!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I have had these planters for two years. They do hold up well but there is no room for a root system. Everything dries up even with watering twice a day. I watered so much that the run off ruined part of my deck. The pictures of the planters are deceiving as you cannot grow those plants in them.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I've had several of these for years. Holds up to sunlight, wind etc. Shallow, need to be deeper. Dry out too fast in sunlight and dirt gets too hot. Another couple of inches in height would be perfect. I just bought 6 more...and have spent the entire afternoon trying to get the residual glue off them after removing the labels which delaminated as I slowly and carefully peeled them. Someone at gardner's neds to ask the manufacterer to try and peel these suckers off themselves to see what it's like.....not good! I have better things to do, like grow plants!

Easy to use, easy to move!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

It's great for herbs on my veranda!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Stays stable on the deck railing. My deck railings are slightly sloped and it still stays well on it. I could not find any boxes that will work on my narrow and sloped deck railings but these are great.Also very polite and efficient customer service [...]

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

We have vinyl railings on our deck and the no nails or screws on these planters are awesome. They are also very easy to take off in case of thunderstorms. We love them!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

It was hard to find planters that would work on my deck rail (tried 2 others from local greenhouses)and this works and looks great!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

fits nicely on deck railing, no nails or screws. easy to move. Have had now for a few years, still look great and getting more.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Used on porch rail, easy to install,

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I have been searching for this type of planter for quite a while; the only "con" is that my porch railing is rounded on top and not the flat type of railing...therefore, the planters tend to rock a little, but I don't forsee their tumbling or falling off the railing especially once they are completely full of soil and plants. Once the plants have been watered that little extra weight seems to help as it compacts the soil even more. The planters really are attractive and overall I am well pleased.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

These are great for our deck rail and are great for the wind that we have .

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

This is the second set of this product that I have purchased. I had the first set in white which lasted outside year round for nearly 5 years. Would have lasted longer if my husband had not tried to lift them from deck rail by the lip while full of dirt. I loved them so much I immediately bought two new ones to replace the old ones. Good design, holds a lot, looks great on deck rail.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I like this design and it fits perfectly; the only 'con' is that the center of planter is shallow; no deep rooted plants here - best for small, starter plants as opposed to transplanting mature (plants). They look good once installed and I would buy more.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I'm using these planters this year to grow my lettuce and spinach. They look great on the railing of my deck and I've got my fingers crossed that the lettuce and spinach grow well in these. Even if the lettuce and spinach don't work out, I'll use them for flowers. Very pleased with the look of this product.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I didnt have to drill or buy any supports to put my plants on the deck rail

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

We get very high winds at times and my potted or hanging plants on the porch blow over. Have been looking for something different. These sadle planters are perfect. They have even passed the high wind test!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Will be purchasing more of this item

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

This product is great for displaying plants on your deck. It looks nice and you don't have to worry about the wind blowing it off the railing. It is built to last forever and the price is affordable.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I live in a windy area, and am very impressed that the planter stayed in place.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

They fit perfectly on my wide railings. Very evenly balanced. Even empty a very strong wind can't move them. Perfect.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Fits perfectly on railing.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

These planters really dress up my deck. I plant annuals in them and have had many compliments on how they look.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I use the product on my porch and it really looks terrific. I wish that my railings were a more perfect fit as I need to put wedges underneath to secure them.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

We have a new house with a new deck--these planters are excellant--I love plants and they fit on the railing--look very nice and the wind doesn't knock them off--I love them.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

My old planters had to be mounted on my rail with hardware. These planters just sit right on top of your rail.

I was worried about the high winds knocking the planters off the rails. This weekend we had high winds and hail and they stayed right where they belong. I was very impressed and get lots of compliments on the planters.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

So many railing planters tilt and fall. Not this one. Holds a ton of flowers for a gret display. Would make a wonderful herb garden.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Far better than hanging deck rail planters--won't fall even in high winds, nondestructive to deck rail and color is perfect.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

deck planter, safety feature will not tip over on anyone..

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

We use these for pansies that have shallow roots. For this, the planters are perfect.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I have 9 of these on my deck railing, and they grow an astonishing amount of plants for their size. Possibilities are endless. I have grown herbs, flowers and perennials with great result. Once plants fill the planter, you must water daily if weather is hot.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I have used these for years. The only "con" is that after years in the sun, they get brittle around the edges. I have just ordered new ones to replace the broken ones on the deck.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I bought 2, then 4 more, then 6 more, then another 4! We have a deck the width of our back yard and I can see all my plants and flowers from my kitchen and family room windows because they are off the surface of the deck! Up high where I can see them all day long! Good drainage, easy to water, plants thrive in them. Couldn't find them ANYWHERE else! I'll use them for years......worth every penny!!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

These are really unusual to see in this area. I have them at our summer home in Idaho that I purchased at a nursery but could not find down here so went online to purchase. Wonderful experience!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

We recently moved from a house with a yard to a condo. Since we always had flower gardens at home, we jealously admired our friends gardens. With these flower boxes, and because we now live in the south, we can even have winter flowers! So, without the garden, this is a perfect way to enjoy live flowers all year round while relaxing on our deck.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

My husband & I love the new saddle planter boxes we ordered and they look GREAT on our new front porch/deck railing.... they are the perfect touch. However, we WERE disappointed that they drain onto the deck itself on the one side, so we chose to plug the drain holes on the deck side. Also, when I ordered these planters, I thought they were the self-watering type that you sell, of which we have MANY already, and love. That feature is very important to us as we can be gone for a week or two at a time, and because we live in an area where we often have lots of wind in the summer that dry out the hanging baskets and pots very quickly.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Make sure you measure your deck railings before you order.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

These are by far the best railing planters, I have friends that bought different kinds and they blow off of the railing in the wind, had to be bungee corded to rail. I have 4 planters now and plan on buying more for next summer.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Love the ease of use

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

use on banister deck display for now.
more creative ideas for next yr.; white is perfect,
cleans easily, drain system is inferior design,
drain holes too small, attracts insects, misquitos in left over water - mold, more cleaning required, time consuming. other than the drain and slight imperfect fit which my son will work on, it's very pretty, soft round corners, easy to clean.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I was previously using the planters that hang over the side of the deck rail. Our deck however, is a second story deck and those planters always made me nervous (especially since one had fallen already). These rail planters are great and much more stable than the regular 'hang over the side' types.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

The sun seems to rapidly deteriorate these planters. Will last only two years max. Don't pick them up by the rims, but from below only.
I would really like them if they would just last longer. Bought four two years ago. This year, we were able to use only two (which aren't in very good shape).

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

The saddle planter is large enough to hold many of annuals. It looks great. Be careful on some railings as the weight can cause it to dip and vinyl railing can get mildew under it so move it and clean the railing occasionally.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Great planter, especially for herbs and other attractive flowering annuals.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I use this for wave petunias and impatiens on my deck railings, and get great comments on how they look.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Love it!! Very practical and sturdy.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I like the fact that you don't have to mount this container and it fits great on the deck railing. I really do enjoy the two containers I purchased and plan to buy two more. Thanks for providing such unique products.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

THE THING I LIKE MOST IS THAT IT LETS ME ADD BEAUTY TO MY DECK. I LIKE THAT IT DRAINS OFF TO THE SIDE. I WISH THE POT WAS A LITTLE MORE DECORTIVE BUT, I WOULD BUY IT AGAIN.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

The only thing I would change is the depth of the center.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

These are very nice and we bought them as soon as we saw them. Of course later in the summer we saw them at our local garden store for much less. :-(

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

It's great on our deck!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I live in a town house and my deck is my garden. For years I'd searched unsuccessfully for a container that would sit on top of the deck railing to maximize my growing area, so I was delighted to find it at Gardener's Supply Co. I use one of mine for herbs, and can move it easily along the railing to follow my limited amount of sun. The other sits on the railing between my deck and that of my neighbor, and, filled with tall plants and flowers, it provides me with a little privacy.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

The catalog measurement was correct and these pots fit my porch railing perfect. They hold a substantial amount of soil yet are easy to grasp and flip for even growing. The size makes it possible to have a very varied set of plants. I'm completely thrilled with these and will be ordering more for my back porch.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

My deck railings look so attractive this year with the addition of these planters. They are light weight and fit snugly on the railing. It brings so much color, butterflies, and bees right on the deck for us to enjoy.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Really nice and lightweight--except when full of dirt and plants! So either plant after mounting on railing or have friend help with lifting! But is nice not to have to use tools to mount. Looks nice. May be an odd shape when storing for winter. Would like to get another one.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Mine is on the deck rail. Great and I enjoy being able to see my flowers from the kitchen window. Will buy some more in the spring!!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I use three on my deck rails. I wish they were deeper, as they dry out really fast.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

The planters really dressed up my deck. They stayed on the rail through a wind storm and the plants are growing well.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Looks great on my deck

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

We find as we age that the yard is becoming a lot more work - your products have helped limit this issue.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

these are just very pretty when full of petunia waves..

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

These were perfect for my vinyl fencing on my front porch. On the 2nd day I had them out, a neighbor came over to ask me where I purchased them and if I would mind if they also got them for their house (which they did). I get lots of compliments on how nice these look.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

My top railing is a 2x6 with the planter having to sit on the 2" side. I ended up permanently nailing a shim to the inside to get it to fit snugly / robustly.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

i have a dozen on a deck railing . They couldn't be any better

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I used the planters on my deck rails; I planted flowers and vegetables. So far, my plants are growing nicely and the scene is beautiful.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Does exactly what we want. Adds some height to our deck design and allows us to enjoy flowers while working at the kitchen sink.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

My daughter loves this product! There is nothing she doesn't like about it. The plants flourish in them.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I used to have planters on my deck that hung on the outside of the railing and eventually these bowed the railing out! The new planters fit very snugly on top

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I really like these planters however the saddle groove makes the center too shallow for plants to be placed in the center and makes water flow to the sides.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

These rail containers hold many plants and herbs. Giving the over all look of lushness.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Used the railing planters on our porch with wave petunias. Looks great!!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I have a 25 foot deck and used to have 3 wooden planters on the 5.5" railing. I had to replace them every 5 years or so because they rotted out and they shifted on the railing. I was looking for something that would last, not rot, sit comfortably on the railing, water would run through it nicely and most of all look nice. My questions were answered and now I have 5 beautiful planters. Plus I have been getting a lot of compliments which is always nice!!!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Such a great way to show off plants on the patio, this product fits right over the railing.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

A wonderful choice to brighten railings that are usually too narrow for pots to sit on. The planters are sturdy and provide adequate drainage.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

As mentioned above, I wish this item was longer/wider, especially for the price. Also, it would be nice if it was deeper so I could get more soil in it and more stability for the plants/flowers that I place in it.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

These Planters are the best! I bought 2 in white last year to put onto my deck railing and they have never moved, slid, or cracked. They were easy to put on, and my flowers look beautiful in them. I highly recommend them, especially if you are looking for planters that are easy to install-no screws or nails were necessary, and they are very well made.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I saw the railing planters at a friend's house and had to have some for my own deck. They are perfect and really bring my deck alive. I've been looking for a product like this for a couple of years. The pretty plants and flowers bring me great enjoyment now when I use my deck.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

These look great and fit wonderfully on the railing.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I had tried different flower boxes for my deck rail and was not happy with any until I purchased this product. My flowers are doing great and the planters are deep enough that they don't dry out as fast.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I purchased 2 of these railing planters with the idea that I would "give them a try" and could purchase more later on. I was concerned that the wind would blow these right off the railing. However, so far, so good! A great product and I will buy more next year!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

perfect for the deck and looks great!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I love these planters!!!! They fit like a glove on the railings. They just pop on with no effort at all. The color Loden matches my house color so perfectly that they blend right into the railing. My plants are thriving since they get sun from all directions. I really can enjoy looking at my flowers now instead of the neighbors getting all the enjoyment.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Use for growing vegatables that you want fresh and quick to the table.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

We bought four of these planters and they are just perfect and practical for our deck. They are easy to move around and just the right size to display a nice assortment of plants or flowers.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

It looked interesting in the catalogue, so I ordered 2...loved them!...ordered 4 more....still couldn't get enough...ordered 2 more! Now I can see my flowers from the kitchen and family room, because they are elevated, and not in pots on the deck floor. Our local nursery doesn't carry them, and they have everything. Best thing I've bought this year!!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

didn't think these planters would stand up to heavy winds, but was pleasantly surprised. Then are light but stay firmly attached to our patio railing, even in high winds.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I use this planter on my deck. I filled it with red plants and flowers to attract Hummingbirds. It definitely fits perfectly and you cannot overwater the plants.
I love it.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Easy to use and durable and looks great on my deck. My flowers have grown terrifically. Maybe they should make a few sizes more?!!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I use my railing planters for my pansies, vinca and other colorful flowers, In March 2007 I planted pansies and they lasted all through the winter and just faded in April of 2008. I love the convience of having my garden on my porch.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Very easy to install and great fit.
Attractive, practical and handy

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Looks great on my deck

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I placed my planters near my back door on my patio because I wanted to plants herbs in them. Others I have tried failed because the plants remained too wet. These are working perfectly. I am very happy and satisfied with my choice. I plan on ordering more next spring. I want to put them all around my patio. I really love them.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I am currently in a rental property so these planters were a great way to use my deck railings without making modifications to the deck and I csn take them with me to my permanent location.
No bending required to work these planters. Since they are not attached, they are easily movable to take advantage of sun and shade during different seasons.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

We're growing all our herbs in the railing planters. They fit snuggly on the railings... without putting nails or screws into the wood. We've had some fearsome storms this summer, with high winds, and the planters stayed put! Everyone who has visited us has commented on them. The railing planters are the most convenient, efficient, and effective solution for adding space to deck gardens. We love them!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

They don't tip over like regular pots on the deck.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I use the product on the railing around my deck. We have strong winds and the planters do not blow over.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

These planters are very lightweight and very easy to work with. They fit perfect on my deck rails.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

The squirrels seem to like to gnaw at the edge of the planter.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I bought four of these planters. They are just great and I highly recommend them. They sit very securely on the railing and are now overflowing with flowers. Wish I could include a picture.

What a nice addition to my deck garden. Love them!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Love the planters. Would like to see a little decoration on the sides.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

The railing planters that I have used in the past were hung by metal hangers. The screws would come loose, the planter would fall have to be fixed, etc. This kind is more user friendly.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

This wasn't the right size and I was very disappointed. It needed to be the wider size for my deck.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

i love these railing pots. just make sure you measure the width of your railing with the width of the bottom of the planter. easy to water. looks lovely.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I love these window boxes because they are so easy to use. I didn't have to break out of my rut in order to find installation tools. I just went out on my deck and -- ta-dah! -- I had window boxes.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I have 2 of them and have them filled with herbs on the railing right outside my kitchen for easy access. Before buying these I had herbs in a traditional window box and when I was at the house every couple of weeks, they were alive but barely. With the reservoir, my herbs are now much healthier.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

These look great on my front porch. We did have to add 2x4 because our railing was narrow, but they look great and seem quite sturdy. They perhaps drain a little too well, though. Whenever I water my plants, the water goes through immediately, so I have to keep a close eye on the plants to make sure they don't dry out.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

They look great on my deck. Full of red and white coleus--great contrast.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I love the two railing planters that I bought. I live on the side of a mountain with extremely poor soil and a very steep grade. Having these plantes on my deck railing makes gardening easy for me and attractive to all that pass our home.I love opening my shades in the morning and seeing my flowers right in front of me.As with all of their products, they are of a high quality. [...]

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Drain holes should be a little larger

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Love!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

These planters stay on the deck railing with no other attachments. We've had quite a bit of wind and they don't budge!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

They work like they're supposed to; they fit perfectly on our front porch railing; the color (green) fits perfectly with our exterior decor; the plants are happy.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I like these planters because they fit well on the railings and stay put even in high winds and stormy weather.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I use these planters with iron trellis's for my sweet peas to climb on providing shade for my south facing deck. I leave them up year round changing out seasonal floral and veggies for decoration and in Anchorage AK that means holding up to 20 below zero in the winter! Absolutely great and many of my neighbors have begun to use them as well.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Because of the indentation in the center, I misjudged how much soil the planter needed, and neither of the 2 i bought has done very well. However, with this in mind, the potential is there for more success next year.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

This planter really makes my railing come alive! We run a gift shop and use these planters to decorate the front of our space.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I enjoyed the ease in placing the planters any where on the deck railing.
I have recommened this to many friends.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Product was used as a planter on a deck rail. Product was larger than expected and works wonder on the rail!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

We liked it so much we brought two more. They make it easy to change arrangements throughout the season and adds a lot of color to the deck.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

We used these planters to plant our herbs. We placed them on the deck railing opposite the door from the kitchen - a perfect location!!!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I bought two of these as a gift for my mother, who lives in a senior apartment. Right away others wanted to know where those planters were from, as they are an ideal solution for their very small, second story balconies.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

These planters look very neat and attractive.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

great product

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Looks very pretty around the deck rail. Good quality plastic will (hopefully) last forever.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

we use these deck boxes on our deck railing. From a few feet away they really look like terra cotta. The boxes could be an inch or two deeper. You should have usage instructions for beginners like putting gravel in the bottoms for drainage.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I loved these planters for my deck. I ordered four of them. They look great!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

When we completed our new deck, these boxes seemed ideal to use for planting my small herb garden just outside the kitchen door. They looked so nice that I've purchased three more. My only regret is that they don't come in a shorter length. Love the color options and the way they fit snugly on my deck railings.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

The planters look great on our deck, the Petunias are growing unbelievably, really love this product.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I use these railing planters on my second floor deck and they look amazing!!! They fit right over the railing without a problem. They are wide and you can fit a lot of flowers in them. This is one of my favorite gardening purchases this year.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Fit my deck railings perfectly, without a single wobble which has been a concern with other products. The bronze color blends in nicely and lets the flowers get the attention. The design allows plenty of room for root growth and drainage holes.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I have 4 of these on my front porch railing. They hold an appropriate amount of plants to make a nice full planter

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

Thought about spending the money for a few weeks, but couldn't find anything similar in local stores or other catalogs. So glad I ordered. My porch is a real "WOW" now that I have these saddle planters full of beautiful spring flowers!

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

really would like one a little deeper and a foot
longer.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

I bought 3 railing planters last year & like them very much, though I did add a few drainage holes. I also had to wrap the railing with bubble wrap, as they became lopsided with the wind. This took care of the problem nicely. It's nice that you don't need extra holders for it. I used the hydro mats inside so I don't need to water as much. Any flower plant looks great in it. My neighbor liked mine so much she had me order 2 for her in this current order.

Comments about 24" Railing Planters:

These pots are great. Absolutely no hardware necessary! Fill 'em up and plop them on your railing. It is so easy to setup. I only wish they came in self watering varieties, but the Drought-Resistant Container Mix helps with that.
