How does frost affect the anchor the Deck Foot Anchor does not heave up from the ground like a fence post that is literally popped out of the ground a little bit each year， the Deck Foot Anchor remains anchored to the ground and moves with the soil as it expands up or settles down during freeze or thaw cycles， use only with freestanding decks， unless the soil does not freeze in your area
Tested to a minimum of 19，000 lbs. independent compression load testing has confirmed that each Deck Foot Anchor can support a minimum of 19，000 lbs. 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
Low or high elevation decks， ground level: you can build your deck with joists as low as 2 in. to 3 in. above grade if you wish， simply hang the joists from the perimeter joist if you want to extend the deck beyond the footing， extend the side perimeter joists 6 in. to 10 in. and fill with blocking joists along the length
Easilly up to 6 ft. with proper bracing in both directions from 6 in. x 6 in. posts to beams， you can make a 6 ft. H freestanding deck as solid as a rock， it's possible to go even higher but it is not intended to support decks at a second-floor elevation
Securely anchored: ready for high wind， decks supported by concrete blocks that rest on the surface are susceptible to uplift in high winds and have to be secured to the ground with a webbing of cables and ground spikess the titan deck foot anchor holds your footings securely to the ground， almost 2/3 of the United States and parts of Canada are in high wind zones， for maximum uplift resistance， consider using the 36 in. auger
