24 in. Metal English Horse Trough Coco Planter

I think it did, but I cannot remember for certain.

I don't think so - with the hooks that come with it. However, you may be able to permanently attach it some way. The hooks have to have something to hook around and hang on.

Last year I put soil on top of the mossy lining, but water runs right through it. The plants dried out quickly and died. This year I put pots in it and so far they are doing well.

The coco liners are like a sponge. They appear to keep the plant moist longer than plastic flower boxes do. You can spray water onto the coco mats with a hose and this will also keep the plant soil moist.

The brackets are adjustable 2''-6''.

Most people put a layer of soil in the bottom, then add the plants on top of the soil. Then fill in with more soil around the plants. Water does drain through the coco liner, but this helps you avoid over watering of the plants.

The hooks that come with it extend from 2 in. to 4 in. and just hook over either metal railing or wood railing.

The adjustable brackets to mount on the railings are 2 in. to 6 in. wide.

One side of the hook is 2"; the other side is 4". For 2", you just attached the long side of the hook to the planter so the shorter is the one that fits over the railing.

After you attach the hooks to the planter for a metal railing (2") or wood railing (4"), it just sits on the railing.
