No More Rot (1:56)

Rotting posts are a thing of the past. The Titan Post Anchor lifts the post up off the deck surface to prevent the capillary action of the wood grain from sucking up water like a straw which eventually starts the decay process.

And it looks clean and inconspicuous. A great finished look for any proud homeowner.

A Stronger Connection (1:31)

The Titan Post Anchor ™ has been destruction tested as a single post, outside of a railing "system". It's a leader in its class of internal anchors. See the lab tests.

When numerous posts are connected together in a "system" its even stronger.

How and Why it Was Created (3:51)

Richard explains how the Titan Post Anchor ™ was conceived and what problems it was designed to address.

Like any inventor, he continues to test and develop new and better prototypes so that builders and home owners everywhere can have the finest wood post anchoring solution possible.

Screws By Themselves Don't Do The Job

Because the tube is over 1.25" in width and is driven deeply into the core of the post, it can not be easily levered or ripped off like ordinary steel plates bolted or screwed to post bases.

Fasteners screwed parallel to the grain of the wood do not have as much holding power and can be pulled out at lower force.

But The Titan Post Anchor ™ is strong. Really strong. And surpasses the building code requirements for guard rails when installed properly.

But those are just the functional qualities. See our lab tests if you would like.

For those of you who want something that looks good to the eye, without big wrap around external metal casings at the base of a wood post - the Titan excels. All you see is a clean looking black powder coated base. Unassuming and finished!

The look is fantastic. People actually look at installations and wonder how such a small looking metal base can be so strong. The secret is hidden within the post!

Here's one customer's experience...

"I wanted to install a 36" gate along a walkway beside my house and needed to install a 4x4 post to hang it from.

The only place the post could go was on top of a retaining wall separating my yard from my neighbor's."

"This seemed like an impossible task to come up with some way of attaching a post to the retaining wall strong enough to hold a gate all by itself. And I didn't want to use those big ugly metal post brackets."

"The Titan was the perfect solution. It was super strong. The gate hasn't budged an inch and the post is in perfect condition. No rot or anything. And it rains a lot here."

"The best thing is it has such a finished look. People look at it and wonder how on earth the post is attached so strongly. This is a pretty innovative product."

No Finicky Notching of Posts Required

The Old Way

Here's the labor intensive traditional way of installing deck railing posts. Hand cutting, notching, shimming, leveling and bolting to joists only for the post to start rotting as soon as the first rain.

The Easier Way

Step 1

Just cut the post straight and prepare it with a 1.5" deep hole saw cut to guide the tube into the core of the post. No carpentry skill required like cutting out notches and shimming.

Step 2

Fit the tube into the circular cut left by the hole saw and drive it into the post using a 3 lbs hammer until the base makes full contact with the post.

Step 3

Use 3.5" by 5/16" lag bolts and fasten the base to the post and then you are ready to attach the post to your deck, balcony or patio.

Step 4

Attach the post with anchor to your deck and enjoy knowing that your posts are strong and free from rot.

Guardrails Must Be Strong

The International Residential Code IRC 2000-2003 and the Canadian Building Code Part 1.232. set the standards for guardrails.

If the horizontal point load moves and is directed entirely at one post, that post must take almost the entire load. Well almost, because some of the force is distributed by the attached railing sections.

In the case of a continuous top rail running along the line of railing, more of the horizontal force would be distributed among the other posts thus reducing the force that the single post would ordinarily have to handle.

So if you have posts set at every 4 feet it would make a stronger railing than if they were set at every 6 feet.

Imagine If A Single Post Could Withstand This Test

Well, the Titan Post Anchor ™ has! Over 214 lbs of horizontal force on a single unsupported 42" post and 250 lbs for a 36" and it didn't break. Imagine the strength you get when you incorporate it into several posts over a run of railing.

You got it! Even stronger.

The Titan Makes Wood the Material of Choice Once Again

The beauty of wood, espcially clear cedar or redwood is undeniable. But wood can rot over time - some species faster than others - whenever it is in constant contact with moisture.

So wood deck railings have traditionally been susceptible to rotting where the posts were notched and mounted directly to joists.

As a result, many advances in composite decking and railing materials have been brought to the market. But all of them try to do one thing - emulate the look and feel and beauty of real wood. Why? Because we love real wood. We prefer real wood - if we could.

Confidently Use Real Wood - Again

With the Titan Post Anchor ™ you can now use wood posts - the finest clear cedar or redwood or whatever - and know that your posts are there for a lifetime. And are strong.

Many imitators of the Titan Post Anchor ™ simply do not provide the stiffness and strength required. Step up to the very best deck railing anchor technology.
