Why Jim Says the Deck Foot Anchor Is One of His Best DIY Buys Of All Time

Jim A. from Jacksonville, FL, took on a major project: building a massive 1,220 sq ft, three-level ground-level deck in his backyard. Traditional concrete footings would have meant hours of digging, mixing, and pouring, but Jim wanted a smarter solution.

That’s when he discovered the Deck Foot Anchor.

"My deck foot anchors were probably one of the best 'buys' I have ever made for any of my DIY projects,"

- Jim A.

The anchors not only made the build faster and easier, but Jim was so impressed with their performance that he plans to use them again for his son’s upcoming deck project.

The Deck Foot Anchor helped Jim:

✅ Support a large, multi-level deck with strong, reliable footings.

✅ Skip digging and pouring concrete, saving time and effort.

✅ Achieve professional-level results with a DIY-friendly product.

The Deck Foot Anchor is available in two versatile options to suit different building needs. The Floating variant, equipped with a load plate, is ideal for free-standing structures like decks and pergolas. Meanwhile, the Ledger variant, featuring on open ended load fin, is designed for structures that require frost protection such as where a connection to a house is required.

Both variants offer impressive compression load capacities and install quickly and efficiently in most soil types.

Whether your project is free-standing or ledger-attached, the Deck Foot Anchor delivers a strong, stable, and cost-effective alternative to traditional concrete footings in compatible soil conditions.
