The planters sit securely on our deck railing. They're deep enough that I can use them for some vegetables instead of just flowers and herbs.

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:
I purchased two of these for my rear deck railing and they look just great. I did not want water draining onto the covered deck boards so I closed up the holes with packing tape from the inside. Then I used styrofoam peanuts at the bottom of the planters under the soil to aid in drainage without adding weight and this idea has worked out well for my purposes. I'm VERY happy with this purchase ;-}.

Comments about 30" 2 x 6 Railing Planter:
I ordered this product to sit on my deck railing -- it was described as a 2" x 4" railing planter which I thought would fit my 2" wide x 4" deep deck railing. Was very disappointed to discover it was made for a 4" WIDE railing (2" deep). I felt the product description was unclear and misleading -- it certainly misled me. When dimensions are given, width and height should be clearly marked, but these were not.
Needless to say, it is unusable on my deck railing and now has become a very expensive, fairly ugly, poorly draining (because it is meant to be elevated) box on my deck. VERY DISAPPOINTING!

I have 2 of these planter boxes and I like the way they showcase my houseplants in the summer months on the deck. They are lightweight and easy to move around, and the drainage holes insure that my plants won't become waterlogged. I was pleased with the price and the quick shipping.
