Titan Wood Post Anchor Kit
TIPR4412
A Cleaner, Stronger Way to Surface-Mount Wood Posts
Install wood posts with strength, stability, and a clean finished appearance using the Titan Wood Post Anchor Kit.
Designed for decks, fences, pergolas, railings, privacy screens, and outdoor structures, the Titan Wood Post Anchor allows wood posts to be surface-mounted without bulky wraparound brackets or complicated carpentry.
By keeping the post elevated above the surface, Titan helps reduce direct moisture exposure at the post base while creating a cleaner, more professional look.
Description
Better Looking Than Traditional Post Brackets
Traditional post brackets can look bulky and unfinished. Titan Wood Post Anchors are designed to hide much of the connection inside the wood post for a lower-profile appearance.
Benefits include:
- Clean, professional finished look
- No large wraparound brackets
- No notching deck boards
- Works on wood, composite, and concrete surfaces
- Helps keep posts higher and drier
- Suitable for new builds and renovations
- Compatible with Titan Metal Post Skirts for a finished base
How the Titan Wood Post Anchor Works
The Titan system uses a rigid internal tube that is driven into the core of the wood post. This creates a strong mechanical connection between the post and anchor while keeping the hardware appearance clean.
Basic installation steps:
- Drill the center hole in the bottom of the post.
- Drive the anchor tube into the post.
- Fasten the anchor to the post using the included hardware.
- Secure the anchor to the mounting surface.
Hole saw sizes:
- 4x4 and 4x6 anchors: use a 1-1/4” hole saw
- 6x6 and 8x8 anchors: use a 1-3/4” hole saw
For faster installation, use the Titan Universal Hammer Tool.
Mounting Surface Compatibility
Titan Wood Post Anchors can be installed on properly prepared:
- Wood decking
- Composite decking
- Synthetic decking
- Hardwood decking
- Concrete
- Masonry surfaces
For wood and composite decks, proper blocking below the deck surface is required. For concrete or masonry, use approved concrete screws and follow Titan installation instructions.
