Greenbo Railing Planter
My cousins have a cabin in Maine that sits 40' above the ocean with nothing but a simple cable railing to obstruct the view. In some ways, its a shame to put anything in place to obstruct that, but I could also see two simple Greenbo planters off to each side, floating effortlessly, trailing succulents perilously (although not really) in the ocean breeze.
