How to secure these planters if you have ROUNDED railing tops.....
I bought four of the white planters for my deck. My vinyl rails have a slightly rounded top (see pic), so I wasn't sure if these planters would work out. The included fasteners DO NOT secure these planters tight enough on a rounded top rail (see pic). I had to drill 4 holes and use heavy duty, clear zip ties, to get these planters nice and secure on my rail (see pic). Two zip ties go through the four holes and wrap around the railing (see pic). Two more zip ties are place under the ones around the railing and are then wrapped around two balusters (see pic). Four zip ties per planter are needed. The planters are slightly tilted towards the front of my deck, facing the morning sunrise (see pic). These are very nice planters and seem well built. I'm happy I was able to make these work, since I didn't have much floor space on my deck, because of the patio furniture. I rated them four out of five, due to the additional effort needed to make them work on my rounded railing tops. I installed all four in less than 30 minutes. I hope this information and the pictures help your decision.
