Apollo Exports International 24" Adjustable Railing Planter, Black

My husband and I have a large back deck with 3.5" railing. We have struggled with rigging our own flower planters to it for years. This product is AMAZING! Every detail was thought of including the hidden water tray at the bottom. My husband was about to drill holes in the bottom for drainage but we then realized that excess water actually flows out of the leveler handle, so no need to drill any holes! They take less than a minute to assemble, are very sturdy and with the leveler system you can achieve a uniform and professional appearance. I bought one to try to see if we would like it, and after receiving it and assembling it we loved it so much we purchased another 23 to complete our back deck. Highly recommend to anyone that wants a quick, sturdy, attractive rail planter.

Very nice, I’m impressed. It will help allot. I’m actually using it to put my weather sensor in so it blocks the sun because I only have a Juliette balcony to put my weather sensor and this will help a lot.. will update

I've wanted railing planters for EVER, but the custom ones were too expensive, and nothing I found at local garden centers/hardware stores worked. In fact, they were <i>awful</i>. A big concern in purchasing is that my landlord does not approve of any dripping from balcony plantings. Thanks to the reservoir feature on these, that is not a problem. These work. The assembly is fussy: it's not easy to line up the brackets so that the pins don't pop back up. I had about a 60% success rate, but it's sturdy enough. The big difference with this planter is the stabilizing foot (?) that levels the planter once it's hooked onto the railing. (Why don't all railing planters do this?) Pros: - It fits railings from 1" to 4" wide very well and is very stable. It doesn't knock around in high winds (a concern where I live.) - It comes in a variety of colors and sizes. - They fixed the labels! I bought one in February 2024, and the label/instructions were a nightmare. I bought another in May 2024, and the label peeled off with ease. Cons: - Those pesky pins. They do not simply snap in as the manufacturer's video suggests - It's plastic. How great would these be if they were wood with metal fixtures? - My first order came in perfect condition, but then I bought 2 more. One was fine, the other had only one bracket and no pins. It's a pain to get the parts, and the link provided by Amazon for customer service does not work. Bottom line: I'm so happy to have these planters that I can overlook the difficult assembly and hassle of getting the missing parts. I love my balcony garden! Update: I've had these now for a couple of growing seasons, and they are still as strong as ever. They are extremely sturdy, especially impressive in high winds (30+ mph!) They are deep enough to grow my full-sized geraniums, flower bulbs, and lavender. I still wish that there was a non-plastic version of these, but I am so very happy with my purchases!

.....with Goo Gone for about half an hour and you should have no problem removing the stickers. Do not apply and expect the stickers to come off immediately. And it has to be Goo Gone, neither hot water, rubbing alcohol nor nail polish remover will work. I say half an hour because I soaked the stickers, went on to have coffee, and when I was done the stickers came off using a paper towel. There was still a bit of residue but another application of Goo Gone, waiting five minutes, and that residue came off easily. I wanted the stickers off of the trays, too, and found the best way to do so was to turn the tray over so that the sticker was facing down, and then I poured Goo Gone in the little openings of the tray so that it could soak the sticker from the bottom. I am not going to drill little holes into the bottom of the container. Should the water at the bottom of the reservoir go higher than 3/4 of an inch, it will spill over to the center part where the "lower arm" that stabilizes the planter is located and exit the planter from that location. We have a new composite deck with aluminum railing topped with white vinyl. I did not want any metal brackets, risking rust stains. These planters look great and will not cause any damage to our deck. I already bought five and will buy more. UPDATE: I now have seven of these. I left them outside over winter and the freezing temperature didn't harm the planters at all. I actually planted Lamb's Lettuce in one over winter and got a nice harvest (added new pic). Cleaned the planters in spring and replanted them and they look like new. Very happy with them.

Perfect for my small lanai. I have metal railings so it's hard to find planters that fit. The brackets are adjustable go ot fits perfectly.

I liked the idea of an adjustable planter box for a railing, however, there are several design flaws that cannot allow me to recommend this product. The adjustable arms are too short for wide railings. Our railing is about 3 1/4 inches wide and it should be fine. Any wider than this and the lever arms extend too far. The long lever arms along with the addition of the weight of soil and plants will create a torque that bends the arm causing it to lose its support. The middle extension is also not long enough for wider railings. If the extension is slide out so that the back end is no longer under the groove in the bottom of the planter, any moderate weigh will cause additional torque that the middle support will not be able to hold. Both about design flaws will result in the planter box falling from the railing. A third design flaw is that there are no drain holes. Planters need this to keep the roots from rotting. It can be solved by drilling in desired drain holes, but this should not be needed for a new product. Lastly, whomever mentioned there being too many stickers was absolutely correct. The stickers are of poor quality and cannot be easily removed. They cover the water drain holes and need to be cut away. They cover the side supports and need to be cleaned of the sticker glue. I could not remove all of the glue using multiple cleaners. The surface was still sticky and immediately started to collect dirt and pollen. Higher quality labels that could be easily pealed away would have been a simple remedy. I have the planter box set up with soil before putting in plants. I need to test whether is will stay for a few days before planting actual plants into this box. I really wanted to like this planter's box, but so far I am not impressed with the quality.

great for my deck...flowers hang over perfectly

The hanging planter is ok. But, one of the plastic pins broke off when adjusting it. Put the pin in, but doesn’t seem tight. I tried not to overload it with soil and plants. I hope it holds out. 🤞🏻
