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.
