Will this fit on a 3" railing, how would you get it to stay snug?

Not sure how you would get it to stay snug...it fits very nicely...and is secure (snug) on a 4" railing.

No, it will fit a 2x4 which has a 3.5 in width but it won't fit snug on anything less than that.

i guess you could take a piece of scrap wood and nudge it against the railing and container, that would make it snug. also, the weight of it when full of soil and flowers will help it stay. i LOVE these!

I can't say for sure. Our railing is only 3 inches so the boxes fits nicely on it with the smaller/upper bottom notch. I measured the large notch which is JUST sly of 6 inches. My box is full so I cannot experiment for you but I would guess if you had an empty box and put it on your railing (probably with some force to make it fit) I think the box would have enough give to allow you to fit it snugly on your railing. Hope this helps, I've been pleased with my boxes!

Unfortunately if you put anything over three pounds it will slowly go all the way down.there is no way to tighten it up so I returned it :( Good luck

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it won't properly fit a rail that is not flat. It's definitely designed to lay on a flat surface vs a rounded type surface.

I put my hangers on a 2"x6" railing... They stayed in place 6 months. I hung hanging baskets from all of them.. I switched the plants around numerous times.. Still the hangers did not loosen..

Our top rail measures the same and we bought the 2 x 4. Fits snugly and won't move unless you move it. Our deck looks beautiful now.Pat

My top railing is a similar size and this plangter works great for me. (A 2"x6" is the rough size before the board has been planed.)

Yes, all you have to do is move the stops in to accommodate the size door you are going to use. They move with the use of an Allen wrench. You may want to cut the railing shorter since the door will beSmaller than the designed length.

We actually put it on a metal round railing but it would most likely fit up to a four inch board railing. I got two and gave them to a friend. They are really nice.

I had no luck with it...I would suggest an alternate solution. I wrapped the rail in a thick towel and made ties out of strips of cloth - a superior solution in all respects. (Not least of which is that I don't like my baby sucking/chewing on that gummy rubber....I know where my towels have been! :) ) Worth mentioning that it was a bit too small for my rail too....not sure how you'd know this in advance....see my full review for more thoughts.

Just be aware that the railings aren't extremely high. A thinner, as opposed to pillowtop or the like, might be a better choice. Hope that helps!

My rail is 2 inches wide this pot just made it. There is no play at all. It don't think it will fit at all. You need To go to the next size to be safe

My railings are only 1" wide so the planters slope forward rather than hanging upright. The thicker the railing the more upright the planter boxes will be. I think 3" would be perfect. And, be sure to add drainage holes. I used an awl and hammer and it worked perfectly.

The clamp opens to 4", but you need to be able to screw the bolt in to hold it to the railing. I would say you would need to screw it in at least an inch in order to hold it tight.

All the installation kit is is a pair of plastic clamps that hold onto the railing. A wood bar attaches to the clamps with screws, and that piece of wood is how the fence attaches. As long as the metal railing is thick enough, there won't be a problem. And even if it's too thin, you could add a piece of rubber or padding to essentially make the railing thick enough to accept the minimum clamp allowance. It's an extremely simple design, and one you could easily makeshift with a 1"x2"x3' pine board and two clamps from the hardware store.

I don't think it will, the fit is very snug, if you have anything ON the rail, I'm sure it would be too tight.

Fits best on 2x4 or 2x6 railings...can be modified but not nearly as stable.
