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 be sure a helical system will work on your site.

The 3-¼" blade and 5" blade have tested in clay for maximum compression loads of 1,391# and 5,500# respectively.

The 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.




EASILY DRIVE IN OR OUT

It's dependable Direct Drive system ensures you can drive the anchor forward or reverse for quick installation. Installs with a handheld ½" impact wrench.

  • Turn a week-long job into a weekend project.

  • Save money on labor, materials and time.

  • No sledge or jackhammers or heavy machinery.

  • Install in the morning and build in the afternoon.

*For floating or free-standing structures where freezing soil conditions exist.

"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: A SHOCK ABSORBER THAT PROTECTS YOUR DECK

AUGERS AVAILABLE IN 24" OR 36" LENGTHS

Watch this demonstration of how the patented Terra-Shift system works to relieve stresses that may build up during seasonal changes and threaten the integrity of your deck structure.

Regardless of the harshness of your climate, the post to beam connections supporting your structure will remain strong and sturdy.

Use the 24" for most applications.  Use the 36" auger when you want more wind uplift resistance or you are building on a slope.  The auger length will make no difference how the Deck Foot will perform in frost as the above animation shows.

The deck will always be resting on the surface and will rise or descend marginally with the soil expansion and contraction.  But it will always remain securely anchored to the ground.

WHAT IS TERRA-SHIFT™

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.


COMPRESSION LOAD

TESTED TO A MINIMUM OF 19,000 POUNDS!

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.

UPLIFT

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.

USE OUR IMPACT SOCKETS

Our 12mm high impact six point socket is designed to grip the hexagon drive head without stripping no matter the load. 

This tiny investment can save headaches on the job site. If you use a low quality twelve point socket that does not fit as well, you are more likely to strip the drive head while under maximum load.

One of the metric nuts

One of the metric nuts was missing. Had a little trouble locating a replacement locally. I had the correct impact driver socket, but it still needed to be tapped with a hammer to remove after driving anchor. Will be tested in one of the coldest US locations in Northern Wisconsin.
