The Titan Goes to Hawaii

These days the Titan Post Anchor is earning some pretty good air miles and seeing a lot more of the world than I ever have.


I sure would love to tag along on some of the trips to places like Australia, England and the Caribbean.

Well, on this particular vacation to beautiful Kula, Maui in Hawaii, I was lucky enough to meet up with one of my customers who used the Titan for all the deck railing around his mountainside home.

Happy Customer in Hawaii

Brad was kind enough to show me his new place still under construction and take lots of pictures of how he used the product.

Keep in mind this part of the island can get some moisture from time to time and a lot of builders use the more exotic hardwoods which call for a few different installation techniques give the density.

Brad actually hollowed out a 1.25” bore in each post rather than just a hole saw pilot cut and driving the tube into the wood. You just can’t drive the tube into this wood very far. Maybe a ¼” if you’re lucky.

And Brad used a rubber gasket between the bottom of the post and the top surface of the anchor to create an even drier given his unique climate issues.

Large Porch Area Required Railings

As you can see this new home had a very large porch area on the first and second floor.

There is a lot of railing to be installed on this home and it was only just starting when I arrived.

Based on Brad's comments I am going to be developing another upper gasket to compliment the bottom gasket kits as optional items.

So thanks to Brad from Maui for having confidence in the Titan as well as my other customers on Oahu.
