Securing Planters on concrete deck?

Hey all,

Were starting to decorate the accent wall on our pool. We had our first pot tip over and make a mess in it, so we're looking at options to secure these pots (plastic pots) to the concrete deck and prevent tip over.


Yes, we've considered using fake plants instead but we're leaving that as a last resort, we really want to give a fair shot to live plants on the accent wall. I've tried rocks, pavers inside the pot and other weighted options, no luck. Planter is 15in wide.

What options do I have if I want to go this route? Is it worth it to drill on the concrete and anchor the plastic pot to the deck? Kinda want to avoid drilling a hole on the deck, but Ill do it if its the only option. Any way to attach it somehow to the tile on the side? or to the screen enclosure aluminum frame behind it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Show us some pictures of your situation and maybe it will get some ideas flowing.
 
For my outdoor holiday decorations I have poured concrete in the bases. I add enough so they generally stay in place other than when it get really windy. So far they have only blown over and once knocked over they don't go anywhere. Tried stone at first and it worked well, till they got knocked over and then there was a mess to clean up.
