Titan Wood Post Anchor - Kit

Surface mounting posts, where possible, increases the longevity of a post. The low profile look of the post anchor gives you improved appearance compared to many wrap around style brackets. See Instructions for height restrictions and proper use and installation.

Includes hardware for a wood surface installation:
(8) 14 x 4" Flat Head Screws
(4) 3/8 x 5" Hex Head Lag Screws

Optional Post Brace for maximum strength (sold separately)

The six lobe T27 Driver Bit fits our new #14x4" Flat Head screws that come with the Titan Wood Post Anchor kits. 

A BETTER LOOKING, EASY TO INSTALL, WOOD POST ANCHOR   

With the Titan Post Anchor, you can enjoy the beauty of wood posts without big, unsightly, ugly, anchoring brackets on more surfaces.

+Clean looking appearance
+No notching decking. Installs on concrete with concrete screws.
+ No complicated carpentry, framing or hardware
+ Posts are higher and drier for longer life

DRILL 

Use an off the shelf 1-1/4" dia. by 2" deep hole saw to cut a pilot cut for the tube.

Use a 1-3/4" dia. hole saw for 6x6 and 8x8 post anchors.

DRIVE

Use a 3 lbs 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.

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

A truly innovative and effective solution.

To properly secure the post anchor to a wood surface, ensure that there is wood blocking like a 2x6 or 2x8 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.

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.

All Proline (PR) post anchors are hot zinc galvanized, powder coated and feature countersunk screw holes.
