Abstract
The disclosure describes a fastening means for attaching containers to the side of balusters of railings of porches, balconies and stairways, and the containers are used to hold plants and to store items. The containers are mounted to the side of the balusters furthest from the porches, balconies and stairways and do not take up any space on the porches, balconies and stairways. Heavier containers have a support lip that rests on the floor of the porches and balconies to support the heavier weight while the fastening means hold the container firmly against the balusters. The fastening means comprises a threaded member that extends from the rear of a container and through the balusters, and a cross bar and knurled knob with nut turn onto the threaded member to pinch the balusters, thereby creating a frictional force that holds the containers to the balusters.
