6x6 post anchor - thumbs up (5/5) | May 20, 2010 | Tom T | Horeseheads NY US |

I purchased 3 pieces of the 6x6 post anchor to mount posts to a new construction deck, opting for the galvanized fastener package. I expected, based on the installation video, that mounting the anchor to a PT 6x6 would be a little bit of work but manageable based on the instructions and install video. It was anything but! I used a normal 1.75" depth hole saw with a single cut, choosing to not remove the waste material and drill to a deeper depth. Drill used was a Milwaukee 1/2" hammer drill and Rigid hole saw. Easy to drill - placed Titan anchor on hole and with no more than 6 or 7 hits using a 3# mallet the anchor was set. I had concerns about alignment, as well - orientation or twist of the post relative to the anchor. Laying the assembly on a concrete floor and just a light tap on the side that was high squared everything up nicely. The application was a little different, in that I was mounting atop deck boards, and placement was over an I-Beam, so lag screws were not an option for attachment. When the assembly was in place and temporarily attached with short screws, I drilled through the decking and steel and connecting using galvanized bolts. The entire process was easy and quick, and it is a nice, solid connection. I recommend this product without reservation. |
