Titan Wood Post Anchor

Question from City of Barrie

 I am a Plans Examiner for the City of Barrie and I have a homeowner that wants to use the Titan Post Anchors. Do you have any testing that is stamped by an Engineer of Ontario?

Reply from Richard Bergman

Thank you Robert for your message.  In early December we successfully completed very extensive engineering testing for compliance with guard rails according to both the Ontario and Canadian building codes for our 4×4 post anchor up to 42″.   Intertek has a world class cadre of engineers and the report is being drafted right now.  This should be available some time early in the new year.  It will include maximum spacing, joist blocking, fastener and other specific configuration related details.  I trust it will satisfy all areas of interest.

Reply from City of Barrie

Thanks for the quick reply. It appears like it will satisfy what we require before we will approve the use of the product in the City of Barrie. I am sending a blind copy of this reply to the homeowner so that he is aware that it should be approved in the near future. I look forward to receiving the report when it is ready for our review.

Deckorator Balusters and Titan Post Anchors

Hi Gabriel, WOW…..that is beautiful. I do remember your order and thank you for sending these wonderful pictures of your project.  It looks like it turned out just the way you wanted. I’m glad the Titan Post Anchors and the Deckorator Balusters worked out for you.
 
Thanks Again, Robert

A little more than a year ago I placed a large order from your company of deckorator balusters and titan post anchors.  We spoke on the phone and you had asked me to send photos of the completed project.  I’ve attached a few.  The anchors and balusters really gave my project the visual appeal I had hoped to achieve.
 
Hope you enjoy the photos.  I’d need an aerial photo to capture the whole project in one shot.
