I bought 9 of these. One came broken and that was a bit of a pain. These are really made for thin railings. I can't imagine they work well for railings that don't go almost to the top of the gap. That being said, they fit perfectly on our railing and the clips for the bottom are very clever. I used a hammer to tap them in almost the whole way and the planter is not going anywhere. Other years, I have used all sorts of methods to keep the planters steady. These clips took seconds and produced the best result I have ever seen. Even if the planters only last 1 year, I would buy them again.

Mint colored adorable planter!
I was just given (by request) the long mint planters for Mother's Day. I Really love the addition to my hideous front porch railing (it's a work in progress)! And the customer service was phenomenal! A stabilizer (likely stolen by a garden gnome) went missing and they sent me a new one right away. I'll likely try to squeeze one or two more to gussy things up! Thanks for a lovely product!

Perfect for Condos or Apartments
I wanted to plant flowers on the balcony of my condo, but did not want to buy the traditional planters that hang off the sides of the rail. They did not seem secure and I wanted a more modern look. The bridge planter was a perfect solution. It comes with spacers to secure on the rail, so they stay in place in all of the windy weather we have here in Chicago. Overall, great purchase.

An excellent alternative planter!
This planter is an excellent alternative to metal balcony/railing planters! The planter is large enough for multiple plants and the terra cotta color looks good! The price is a bit high for a plastic planter but great ingenuity for a railing planter! Hope it lasts for many seasons!

These planters are exactly what I needed for my deck railing. They are sturdy and the red color is wonderful with all my colorful plants. I had a few problems to solve because my rails are steel wire but drilling a couple of holes and using zip ties secured the planters perfectly. My only complaint is that one of the fixators (the company’s term for the plastic hinges that tighten the hold of the planter) was missing when I opened the box. I contacted the company and they said they would send one to me but so far, no dice.

They worked but better directions could have been provided and extract looks could have been included because they break very easily if they have to be removed to the planter can be re positioned.

Never tipped in high winds!
I bought this 2 years ago and sat 2 of them on a high porch iron railing. Despite almost tornado like winds, they never moved!

Not what I expected.
Does not fit as well as I had hoped but I am using it anyway. Expensive and ugly. Hoping trailing plants will fill in and cover it.
Tab on bottom to hold it in place flimsy and broke.

Sturdy, functional planters
Though I prefer the look of daintier planters, these are solid and have resisted even the strongest winds this summer. It's nice knowing I don't have to worry about my plants falling three stories in the middle of a storm!
