Window box attachments

[e3chick]

Does anyone know where I can get attachments to put window boxes onto front railings?
Also, is there anything that will secure window boxes onto ledges?
Thanks

Try the Urban Garden wesite. Failing that, a blacksmith/metal worker, they do still exist, will give you whatever you want, they will quote & you can negotiate from there.

Thanks Chatelaine. If Urban Garden don't do them, is that what other people do, get blacksmiths to do them I mean?
I often see window boxes on railings, are they all with specially made fittings? I just thought there must be a shop somewhere that does them, I just hadn't found it yet.

Surely it's unsafe to have window boxes just sitting on ledges without any way of stopping them falling?

Ah, just been to the website. At first glance it looks like they have something for me. Thank you!

Failing the above, a solution to stabilizing window boxes on deep but sloping sills is to compensate for the slope with substantial wedges. Think of a cross section of the sill, with the box on in as if the box were straight. The gap between is the shape of wedge needed. Blacksmiths will do whatever you want, they are craftspeople, be as ambitious as you like and you will get what you are after depending on your budget. Sometimes a regular bolt from the diy store does not fit, but there are people that can bend metal. Persist! Please let me know how you get on, because it sounds like you have a project to create something beautiful that will give a lot of pleasure, and it is even better if you do not have to spend the earth!

I'll second the wedge idea. I have deep, slightly sloping windowsills at ground floor level and wanted to put window boxes on them but was stumped as to how to attach them. DP pointed out that simply wedging two triangle cut-offs of wood (leftovers from a bit of DIY)under the boxes makes them completely stable. We live in an incredibly windy spot and have two under 5's who like to 'help' around the garden, and the boxes have never once fallen off in 2 years. I don't know if I'd risk it on an upper floor, just in case, but they are very stable indeed.
