Balcony Gardening

Balcony Rail Containers

20 years ago

I have been trying to find a source for a certain type of container. It looks about 24" wide and 8" tall and straddles the rail with what looks like 2" channel from end to end so that is sit on the 6" rail. I know they make them as I can see that someone in our apartment complex has several on his/her balcony. Any ideas or suggestions. I have been to Walmart, K-mart, HOBO, Mennards, Home Depot and many other smaller garden and craft stores as well as larger department stores with a garden center.

If your local stores don't stock them later in the season, you could try mail order. This seems to fit your description. Another type is here.

Hope this helps a bit!

And wouldn't you know... right after I posted the question I read another post promoting www.shoppicketfence.com and they have them too. Thanks, the first one you provided looks better than what I found.
