Mounting Instructions

Mounting brackets are supplied for mounting the Madison planters on walls and under windows. The brackets and planters are designed to hold 100 pounds (45 kg.) in the 44" planter (3 brackets), and 75 pounds (34 kg.) in the 34" planter (2 brackets). To hold this amount of weight, the brackets must be mounted to solid wood walls or studs behind the siding. Lightweight wood, aluminum or vinyl siding will not hold this amount of weight by itself.

Two brackets should be mounted as closely as possible to the ends of the planter. A third bracket, if required with the 44" planter, should be centered. If you cannot find studs compatible with these spacings, consider mounting a 2x10" treated board to the wall and mount the brackets at the proper spacing on the board.

Hardware (two screws per bracket) is included.

Safety Note: The screws included with the bracket are only for application on wood walls and railings. Hollow core wall (siding) or masonry surfaces require other fasteners. Consult your hardware store if you do not know what to use.
