New wood post anchoring system a big hit with consumers.

November 19th, 2010

If you every needed a wood post anchoring system that really works and stands alone from its competition then the Titan Post Anchor is the product you should spend your money one. It may be a little more expensive than your traditional wood post anchoring systems but its a better quality anchoring system that has many benefits. It concept is very simple but yet very effective. It consists of a round centertube with a flat base. The wood post which can be a 4×4 or 6×6 dimension gets attached by boring the center of the wood post with a hole saw which allows for the round tube to be inserted into the bottom of the wood post. After which the wood post and the anchor are secured together from the bottom and then fastened to the deck by top lag bolts which are located at the outer edges of the base. I have been involved in the building materials industry for several years now and I have not sen anything that works so effectively and eliminates the traditional fastening systems which are more time consuming and that can be very frustrating.

Intertek Test Reports 3195819TOR-003 & 3195819TOR-003b
 
 
 
 

Intertek Testing Services (Intertek) has conducted point load testing on a series of products for Titan Building
Products (Titan). The products tested include 4×4 post anchors, 4×4 post anchors with a post brace, and 6×6
post anchors. Testing was conducted on three (3) samples of each type and the average maximum load
achieved is reported below.
Testing was carried out on a simulated deck platform using joists spaced 16” on centre, a blocking piece and
deck boards. A calibrated load cell was used in determining the maximum load achieved and was placed in-line
between the post and a hydraulic ram used to apply the load. The posts were installed according to the

manufacturer’s instructions. The load was applied at 42” above the deck surface to one face of the post.

The 4×4 post anchors achieved an average maximum load at failure of 337 lbs. The mode of failure for these

post anchors was the lag screws pulling out from the bottom of the wooden post. The 6×6 post anchors

achieved an average maximum load at failure of 503 lbs. The mode of failure for these post anchors was the

pan head screws pulling out from the deck boards. The 4×4 post anchors with post braces attached achieved an

average maximum load at failure of 499 lbs. The mode of failure for these post anchors was that the pan head

screws that attach the post anchor brace to the wooden post pulled out.
