Don't LIke the look of these?

I can't blame you.

Sadly, these ugly wrap around the post style of bracket have been the "state of the art" for a long time. They're surface mounted so you can place posts pretty much where you want.

But they sure look awful.

Would you want this on your backyard deck?

Are you skilled enough to frame this?

...And What about Vulnerability to moisture

When moisture soaks in between wood, the surfaces take a lot longer to dry. And so begins the process of decay.

Do you like notching around each post?

Whether it's a new deck being constructed or a replacement of rotted posts or decking, notching deck boards is something you will get familiar with pretty quickly.

Mounting post to joists has to be done right.

And as you can see from this diagram, some situations can be very complicated. This is not something for the average weekend DIYer.

Heck, a lot of builders would prefer to avoid this if they could.

Rain, snow and constant humidity is a killer for wood on wood connections.

Depending on your local weather, wood posts can start rotting in as quickly as five years.

Some parts of the country are drier, so if you are located in these areas you can squeak out more time.

Why do any of this unless you absolutely have to?

Some jobs have to be joist mounted because the posts have to be seven or eight feet apart and a heavy duty joist bolted system is the only thing that is going to work.

At last... a better looking, easy to install, code compliant wood post anchor solution

Now, with the Titan Post Anchor™ you can enjoy the beauty of wood posts without big, unsightly, ugly, anchoring brackets on more surfaces than ever before.

Wood
Composite
Concrete
Stone

Wood posts will last longer because they stay higher and drier.

No more notching decking around posts or tricky carpentry necessary.

And even better, they will be residentially code compliant at 6' and 8' post spacing. Interested? Keep reading... or click the link below to BUY NOW.

Here Is how it works

Drill

Use an off the shelf 1-1/4"x2" hole saw to cut a pilot cut for tube.

Drive

Use a 3 lb mini sledge to drive tube into post beyond depth of hole saw cut.

Fasten

Pre-drill holes and drive lag screws. Get the installation guide.

It's so simple to install even folks who are just starting out and have minimal carpentry experience can easily do it. Check it out.

why it works

Cut Away View of Titan Post Anchor™

A sharp edged, light weight, rigid tube cuts deep into the core of the wood post and diverts enough load away from the screws to increase the overall load resistance. A truly innovative and effective solution.

It is now possible for a surface mounted anchor to be used for residential code compliant wood railings. Just click the link below to BUY NOW.

Some Insightful Thinking

You may be asking yourself, why go down this path when fastening into end grain is inherently weaker than typical cross grain methods.

Because all of the following benefits...

simple installation
position anywhere
on virtually any surface
eliminate notching decking for posts
drier, longer lasting posts
eliminating big ugly brackets

...are simply too compelling to ignore!

Solving this historic performance gap became an obsession for me, the inventor. And the solution came from some rather simple geometric insights.

Install on wood...

To properly secure the post anchor to a wood surface, ensure there is wood blocking like a 2x6 or 2x8 below the deck boards and between the joist.

Pre-drill the screw holes if they are too close to the edge of a board to prevent splitting.

composite, synthetic or hardwood

The same principle applies with composite and synthetic deck boards. It's a good idea to pre-drill the screw holes so the screws can drive in easier without snapping off the heads.

The composite and synthetic material can be very dense and sometimes similar to hardwoods.

Hardwood or composite decking tip

And even concrete or masonry

Set one screw in the first hole to secure the anchor while pre-drilling the remaining holes. Drill 1/2" deeper than length of screw.

Position post and anchor for final attachment.

Once the holes are drilled, remove the template anchor and position the post and anchor over the holes for final attachment.

Fasten concrete screws.

One concrete screw per corner is enough to keep the post and anchor secure given the pull out resistance of each screw.

* Residential code compliance

The Titan Post Anchor has been independently tested by world renowned engineering firm Intertek for residential compliance in the United States and Canada when installed at recommended post height and spacing.

The USA tests have been carried out in accordance with AC273 for Handrails and Guards as set out by the IRC. Canadian tests have been done in accordance with the Canadian Building Code with applicability for all ten provinces.

What People Say

Awesome Product!!

These Titan post mounts were just what I needed!!

I wanted to install my railings set back from the edge of my deck. But I didn't want to cut through the actual deck to lag the posts to the joists. Plus I didn't have the time to do all that work.

With these post bases I was able to evenly space the posts where I wanted them without having to worry about "hitting a joist". They were very easy to install and are way stronger than "toe nailing" a post.

Thanks again for an awesome product!

Best Anchor I've Used

We just completed our deck this past weekend and I have to say I'm extremely happy with both the performance and ease of use of the Titan Post Anchors.

Overall a great product way better than the Simpson Strong Ties I've used in the past which have that tall ugly box at the bottom.

Alex McClure - Wylie, TX

Great Design, Low VisibilIty

Great design, low visibility. Looks professional once installed. Instructions are straight-forward and easy to follow.

I had several posts to install, so I setup sort of an assembly line process. Made it simple. I hammered them in to treated pine posts with a 2 1/2lb hammer. (after drilling the pilot hole first). Easy as pie!

They hold very securely with no wobble. Rather than using shims (deck was fairly level already), I simply cinched down on the appropriate bolts to plumb the post.

Great product. I would DEFINITELY recommend these to anyone!

Mitch Parsons - League City TX

Great Deck Posts

I have installed 10 of these post anchors in the process of refinishing my deck. They work great.

Will I use this product again? Yes, most definitely.

Gary Harpold - Roanoke VA

Posts On Concrete Surface

I could not be more pleased. These anchors are great. I mounted porch rails on concrete. I used the recommended bolts to connect the anchor to the post, then used tap cons to connect the anchor to the concrete. This resulted in a greatly stable porch railing.

I've used these anchors and skirts on two jobs so far. Should I find the need again, I will definitely use Titan anchors.

Phillip D. Deere - Lake Mary FL

Strong But Great Look

The Titan has it all. It's got the strength that is what you're looking for but the look is outstanding and combined with the other features I put on this railing system it was the right choice. And I'm happy about that.

Bob Evans - Big Rideau Lake, ON

Nice Product & Looks Good!

This is a nice product that works very well. You do need to ensure the bracing below is correctly placed for maximum strength.

I also noted that it is best to slightly angle the exterior screws when driving with an impact gun to ensure enough clearance. Customer service is excellent as well. I have received many compliments on the final results, so all-in-all I am pleased.

J. McConnell - Jacksonville, NC

Made a Strong Railing

Great product, made the railing very strong.

T. Close - Troutvale, VA

Great Product

I used these to install a railing on a concrete stoop and walkway. Although I probably shouldn't have, I bored the mounting holes out to 3/8" to accommodate wedge anchors.

I love this product, and my project came out amazing!

Kathleen - Hauppauge, NY

Now I Am Sold

Was very unsure about the potential of being able to leverage the post loose.

Mounted the first post anchor and was sold, installation is simple and time is definitely saved. I will be using these post till I find something better.

This is a great alternative to all other expensive bases. I have used my share of the expensive bases and this is by far the best for your money.

The Real Deal

Great product. This is the real deal. Secure fit. Part of my arsenal now.

Barnett Deck - Ottawa, IL

Concrete Porch With Slope

The Titan Post Anchors are rock solid.

I used this anchoring system for the first time on a concrete front porch with a definite pitch. Rather than shimming up the front of the anchors to keep the post plumb, I decided to use a grinding wheel to score out a "seat" for the anchor perimeter.

The key with this method is to grind out a little in back and very little on the sides. If you need to take out material to the front of where the anchor will sit, you probably took out too much on the backside. Less is more in this situation. They look great!

Gazebo Posts

Was building a gazebo on top of a cedar 12x12 existing decking by my pool with 6x6 posts and needed something strong to hold it in place.

Local building stores had nothing I would even consider using because they were not strong enough or would bend to easy. Found Titan Post Anchors and I was sold.

Bought 9 of these and let me tell you they were solid metal, for the same price for a piece of cheap tin from my local stores. Came with all the hardware I needed to install them. great product. Company was fast shipping and even answered the phone when i needed more info about their products.

So bottom line, they are steel and will hold any post where you need the extra support. Well worth the money.

D.Price - Saint Libory, IL

Recommend To Anyone

Purchased 9 - 6 x 6 Titan Post Anchors to assemble to a new construction PT deck surface. Installation to the 6 x 6 was easy, with a little sledge hammer help. The lag screws were a bit short for 2 x 6 decking, so I opted to purchase longer lags to attached through the 2 x 6 decking and into 2 - 2 x 6 scraps together. This proved to strengthen everything very well.

Titan Post Anchors make my deck look very nice and strengthen everything very well. Would recommend to anyone!

Thank You For Creating This

I will continue to use your Titan Post Anchors — there is simply nothing else out there that is not either flimsy, or ugly, or both.

The Titan Post Anchor represents a long-awaited improvement upon other bases on the market. If I didn't think so, I would not waste my time writing you.

Innovative

Being a Civil Engineer by degree and a custom builder and remodeling contractor by profession, I take pride in having a reputation for solving construction conundrums to a high level with cost effectiveness, and in the instance of this pergola, the main concern was, how to structurally attach the 6x6 post columns to the existing stone pedestals.

Structurally, I was primarily concerned with lateral stability strength and shear, and secondarily with uplift. Aesthetics too, were just as important, since the pergola was to have no visible fasteners showing from the ground.

I researched various fasteners on the market, and ultimately found the Titan Post Anchors to be the most suitable for this project.

I core filled the existing pedestals with concrete, attached the Titan Post Anchors to the pergola cedar columns, and then attached the columns with the Titan's to the concrete core filled stone pedestals.

The post anchors were a key component in helping the homeowner in salvaging the existing stone pedestals as a structural base for mounting the pergola columns. This ultimately saved the homeowner money and time by not having to scrap them, and allowed Macek Custom Builders to fasten the cedar columns to the stone pedestals with aesthetic and structural confidence!

Thank you for a great innovative product in the Titan Post Anchor.

The Best

These are the best post anchors on the market by far.

There is some work to install them in the post but that is to be expected for a solid anchor. The video said to use a 3 pound hammer but that was difficult. I actually used a splitting maul and improved the installation time. I will be buying more for a pergola project. Five Stars!!!!

R. Adams, Mt. Vernon, KY

Awesome

Awesome . Best post system I have ever used. Will never use another system. Much better than Simpson strong ties. Good price too. Package arrived in good time but was beaten up in transit.
