The Deck Rail Planter is a 5+ Stars Winner! I wanted a rail planter for fresh herbs conveniently located near my kitchen so I can step onto my porch and pinch off the amount of herbs needed for cooking. Herbs are not colorful, so I added small plants for color. The planter is a generous size, beautiful in black and fulfills my expectations. It sits firmly on the rail without cable ties and the weight of the soil keeps it firm. Thanks Wayfair for offering such a wonderful product!
