Railing PlanterS FAQ
Do these Railing Planters fit any railing?
Our Railing Planters fit most standard 2x4 or 2x6 railings without needing tools. As shown in the images below, that means your railings must be 3.5" or 5.5" wide. Please note our railing planters do not fit some curved/domed railings, at least not without some extra effort and tools. Also keep in mind that the planter may move around a little until you fill it with growing media. If it still moves after that, you can stabilize the planter by using some kind of wedge, like small pieces of wood, to fill in the gaps. That step isn't needed unless your railings are narrower than we recommend.
How should I pot my plant or flowers?
Add a small amount of perlite medium on the bottom of the railing planter. Finish filling with a light to medium weight potting mix and stones. Routinely adding plant food, according to plant’s directions, will dramatically increase the health, beauty and longevity of the plants in your Countryside Railing Planters.
What are these Railing Planters made of?
Our Railing Planters are constructed from high-grade, durable plastic.
Do these outdoor Railing Planters have drainage holes?
Yes, there are 2 removable drainage plugs on the one side of the rail planter. There are also separate drill holes for drainage if you prefer to use those instead.
Where are these Railing Planters manufactured?
We proudly manufacture our Railing Planters in the USA at our Lancaster, PA facility.
