What is The Titan Post Anchor™?
The Titan Post Anchor ™ is a revolutionary post anchoring bracket which relies on a concealed internal fastening system that elevates the post off the deck to keep it dry, strong and looking good.
Our patent pending center tube technology is mechanically fitted into a formed steel base and then welded in place for a super rigid connection.The tube then pierces deep into the solid core of the wood post and is further supported by concealed lag bolts under the base and hidden from view.
Actual Size: 5"x5"x5/8"
Galvanized and Powder Coated

and say Good Bye to:
- Wasting $$$ and TIME spent replacing rotting posts - Instead do it once and forget about it.
- Big ugly steel castings that fit around the outside of post bases.
- Notching, cutting and shimming posts to fit against joists.
- Other systems that aren't strong enough.

3 Reasons Why The Titan Excels
Longer Post LifeLonger Post Life
Posts last way longer when they stay dry. 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
The Titan Post Anchor ™ is stronger than typical surface mounted brackets such as flat steel plates with screws because of the internal hollow tube that stiffens the connection and uses increased friction for more holding power as wood is funnelled and forced inside the tube.
It has been destruction tested as a single unsupported post, outside of a railing "system" to give users a clear indication of its performance and allow you to determine if it's suited for your application.
It's a leader in its class of internal surface mounted post anchors. See the lab tests.
How and Why it Was Created
The anchor was created out of frustration with external shell or wrap around type brackets that did not look good or may not have had any significant strength.
Those anchor brackets that had better visual appeal unfortunately had lower strength characteristics. That left a lot of people looking for more...
So Richard Bergman set out to try to solve this problem and raise the performance in both the looks and strength categories as best as the laws of physics would allow.
The Best Combination of Looks and Strength
Today, there is now a choice! The bar has been raised in a unique and creative way.
Like any inventor, Richard continues to test and develop new and better prototypes wtih new tweaks, new materials all so that people everywhere can have one of the very finest wood post anchoring solutions 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!

A Real Life Story
The first Titan Post Anchor ™ was used at a residence in rainy Vancouver, BC where the owner needed to install a gate at the side of the house.
The gate post had to be mounted on a retaining wall set about 5 feet above the next door neighbors yard.
We installed a single unsupported post using the Titan and it was strong enough to hold a 36" wood gate without sagging! And its still going strong.
See what the home owner had to say...
Here's this 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."

Say Hello To Longer Post Life!
The Titan lifts the base of the wood post off the deck surface preventing moisture from being wicked up by the capillary action of the wood.
Your wood posts are now maintenance free. Without constant moisture they stay dry and rot free!
The old notch and bolt to the joist method means posts eventually rot at the base in five to ten years. Not with the Titan! No way!

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 at least 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. You can use up to 3/8" diameter lag bolts but you should drill pilot holes to ensure you don't split the wood.
Step 4
Attach the post with anchor to your deck and enjoy knowing that your posts are strong and free from rot.

No More Ugly Visible Brackets
All you see with the Titan Post Anchor ™ is a neat clean looking black base. The actual anchor is set deep within the core of the post.
Not like these big ugly and obtrusive external metal brackets. They may look OK on a construction site but not for your home!
Raising Performance and Appearance Like Never Before
The Titan Post Anchor™ 4x4 post anchor has performed very well as an internal surface mounting device as compared to other anchors in its class.
Over 214 lbs of horizontal force on a single unsupported 42" post and 246 lbs for a 36" in order to pull the outside lags from the post and develop a crack in the wood.
But the tube was still holding on thanks to the friction of the tube walls. Independent lab destruction testing shows this.
And the 6x6 anchor, well... You guessed it. Even stronger.
The Titan Post Anchor™ is Great For...
Anywhere you need a good looking, strong post to surface connection

Use the new powder coated metal balusters along with the Titan Post Anchor ™ to have the beauty of wood, the latest in durable metal railing and virtually eliminate annual maintenance.
Now you can create the perfect marriage between aluminum railing sections with wood posts and have a maintenance free railing.
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.
