"I am amazed how much I was able to get done in the first 2 days, which allowed me to rock and roll afterward. I couldn’t have done it without your product. That is an absolute truth."
-Tim D., Deck Foot Customer
GROUND ANCHORED FOOTINGS IN MINUTES ARE A REALITY
Test your soil with the Deck Foot Auger only if you are concerned that there are rocks or other obstructions in the area you plan to build on. Driving an auger down to make sure your soil is compatible is an inexpensive way to check.

GROUND ANCHORED FOOTINGS IN MINUTES ARE A REALITY
Test your soil with the Deck Foot Auger only if you are concerned that there are rocks or other obstructions in the area you plan to build on. Driving an auger down to make sure your soil is compatible is an inexpensive way to check.
The Titan Deck Foot Anchor™ is a user-friendly system but is not infallible. Rocks, roots, or a weak impact wrench (we recommend a corded 350 ft-lbs DeWalt) may prevent you from driving the auger fully into the soil. Use only a 6 point socket as a 12 point socket may strip the driver head.
NOTE: For 48" augers, use a 1/2" six-point socket to drive the auger into the ground
"I love the auger post footing system !!! Thank you for your hard work in developing such a great product, and the risk and effort it must have taken to bring this to the market. I just installed 17 of the auger footings last weekend, and avoided the significant pain and effort associated with multiple trips to Home Depot for roughly 60 bags of ready-mix, not to mention the expense and back-breaking effort it would have taken to dig the footings, mix the concrete, and place the footings. They worked like a charm ! I am now looking at incorporating your railing bases, post caps, and post skirts into my deck project. I appreciate the attention to detail you have made in each of your designs and products.
.....
Again, thanks for your hard work and great products!"

Terra-Shift refers to our unique friction release system in the bracket that protects critical post to beam connections on your deck in the event of any seasonal soil movement.
If any uneven uplift forces are imposed on your footings, posts will slide up or down independently as needed to protect and preserve the post and beam joints from separating.
Independent compression load testing has confirmed that each Deck Foot Anchor can support a minimum of 19,000 pounds.
This is far more than your soil will ever support. So the Deck Foot Anchor is not the weakest link. Your soil bearing capacity is the limiting factor.
Pull out resistance (tension) from undisturbed soil varies by soil type and auger length. If you are building a project where known uplift data is required please see our Tension Test data for sandy or clay soils based on auger length.
This is data taken from field testing by Intertek in a location in Colorado and is part of an extensive residential code compliance review program this is expected to be completed in 2022.
