Deck Planters

Deck rail planters are an exciting innovation in gardening. The harsh, wooden finish of a deck rail can easily be softened with deck rail planters fastened all along it. The fact that they are raised up higher than most planters adds to their convenience. Theres no need to bend down and risk throwing your lower back again just to water and tend to your plants. Just like regular planters, they come in a variety of different materials such as terracotta, plastic, wood, etc. Here are some of their features:

• Most are easy to install without any use of brackets or screws. These self mounting deck planters fit snugly over most rail sizes.
• They keep your plants secure against wind and inadvertent bumps.
• Are set up higher for easier access to tending and watering.

Once you have finished (or the carpenters have finished) putting in your new deck, why not dress it up with a fabulous array of deck planters? Deck planters add character and, in some cases, even privacy to your backyard. Flowers and plants create a warm and welcoming environment. Oxygen and growth are a reaffirmation of life, so breathe some life into your dreary old deck by adding some stylish looking deck planters. Deck planters can be permanently built into your deck, or you can simply choose the attachable planters that are available and built to fit almost any deck. Here are some of the different options you have:

• Hanging planters  these can be mounted to a wall or hung over a hook.
• Box deck planters  these planters rise up from the ground to nearly the height of the deck railing.
• Plastic planters  some may not be able to hold up to the outdoor environment, so choose wisely.
• Wood planters  these are the most highly recommended by gardeners because of their durability.
