WOOD POST ANCHOR - KIT

The Titan Wood Post Anchor™ makes it possible to install wood posts on decks, privacy panels, pergolas, and gazebos by surface mounting to wood, composite, concrete or stone surfaces with a low visibility connection. Please check and observe local building codes in your area before installing this product.

Decks*, porches*, stairs*, pergolas, gazebos, support columns
Fence posts on concrete

Kits include hardware for wood/composite surface installation

(8) 1/4 x 4″ flat head screws (concrete screws sold separately)
(4) 4 x 3/8 x 5″ lag screws

Post Braces also available for increased strength (sold separately)

*Height restrictions apply. May not be suitable for your intended use. Building codes may vary.

See Intertek engineering reports for guidance about your intended use.

A CLOSER LOOK INSIDE THE WOOD POST ANCHOR

Available in 4×4, 4×6, 6×6 and 8×8 sizes for wood posts on wood or composite decks, stairs, patios, concrete or other hard surfaces.

A sharp-edged, lightweight, rigid tube tracks into a pre-drilled circular saw kerf and then cuts deep into the core of the wood post. The tube holds the post and anchor together longer providing greater security rather than screws alone. This makes the connection more visually appealing. Where more strength is needed, optional Post Braces are available

HOW IT WORKS

DRILL

The 4×4 and 4×6: Use an off the shelf 1 ¼”x2″ hole saw to cut a pilot cut for the tube.

The 6×6 and 8×8: Use an off the shelf 1 ¾”x2″ hole saw to cut a pilot cut for the tube.

DRIVE

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

FASTEN

Pre-drill holes and drive lag screws into the post.

WHY IT WORKS

A sharp-edged, lightweight, rigid tube cuts deep into the core of the wood post and holds the post and anchor together longer than just screws alone. This makes the connection more visually appealing. Where more strength is desired, use optional Post Brace (sold separately).

A truly innovative and effective solution.

DIMENSIONS

TIPR 4402

This model will work with posts between 3-½” and 4″ square.

TIPR 4602

This model works with nominal 4×6 posts and up to true 4″x 6″.

TIPR 6602

Great for railings, pergolas, pavillions and support columns. Secures posts between 5-½” and 6″ square.

TIPR 8802

The model is often used for large timber construction projects and secures posts between 7-¼” to 8″ square.

RESIDENTIAL CODE COMPLIANCE

Certain wood guard assemblies have been tested against residential code standards in the USA and Canada. The tested assemblies were built with the post anchors, balusters and 2×4 rail connectors. The reports refer to the specific assemblies only and do not constitute an approval of the post anchor product itself for use in a residential guard in any other way than as described in a report.

Read the Engineering Reports to see the configuration tested against which standard. Engage a local engineer or inspector to review the Engineering Reports to determine suitability for your intended application. Building codes can vary and these Reports may not apply in your area.

POST ANCHOR INSTALLATION

Installing the Post Anchor on a common softwood post. Let’s get going.

Get yourself a suitable size post. The post anchor was designed to work with common Spruce, Pine Fir lumber available at your local lumberyard. But it also works with Cedar, Redwood and exotic hardwoods.

INSTALL ON WOOD

To properly secure the post anchor to a wood surface, ensure that there is wood blocking like a 2×6 or 2×8 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 to 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.

AND EVEN CONCRETE OR MASONRY

Set one screw to secure the anchor while pre-drilling the other holes. Drill 1/2″ deeper than the length of the screw.

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

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

Wood post anchors-great product

I purchased several wood post anchors to connect gazebo posts to a wooden deck. These products are made extremely well and the directions provided clear instructions on how to install them. I was a bit skeptical about pounding them into the posts but every one went in straight and smooth with a little elbow grease. I would use them again if needed and highly recommend their use.

Post and Handrail Brackets are amazing!

These post anchors and the associated covers and handrail brackets used with Cedar posts and Cedar 2×4 handrails made for an amazing deck and staircase. The post anchors are SOLID and the posts have no wobble in them whatsoever. I couldn’t be happier with the professional finished look we got with the Titan hardware!

Titan 4x4 post anchor

Very elegant and robust system that is easily installed. I purchased the hole saw, center guide and hammer tool. Everything works togther very well to make installation a breeze. One of the best features of this type of installation is that the posts can be placed exactly where you want them for estetics.Good work Titan!!

Thanks

Great products and shipping. I was having to install section of vinyl fence on existing concrete slab and didn’t know what I was going to do. The Titan 4X4 post anchors went up easy and section is remarkably stable. I normally never take the time to write reviews but I was so please with this product I wanted to say Thank You
