What are installation accessories for decking pedestals?

Screwdriver bits – installation accessories for decking pedestals that make fixing easier

These components are designed to reduce the time needed to screw together and adjust pedestals. Their ergonomic shape and carefully finished edges allow screws to be driven in and pedestal heights to be adjusted, which is particularly important during maintenance or installation work. They make it easier to install concealed fixing clip systems and are intended for use with a power screwdriver only.

Clips as installation accessories for decking pedestals

Clips are another component that ensures the stability and attractive appearance of decking. They are divided into types according to their function:

• expansion gap clips: used next to vertical surfaces that extend above the decking. They prevent slabs from shifting and protect against moisture by allowing water to drain freely. A gap known as an expansion gap is created between the paving slabs and the wall;
• starter/end clips for the DECK-DRY concealed fixing system for decking boards: specially designed components for installing decking boards. The DECK-DRY system allows boards to be fixed without visible fixings and provides appropriate ventilation and water drainage within the system. Starter clips are used for the first decking board, while the end clip is used for the last;
• fascia fixing clip: designed to secure the lower parts of fascia boards and provide a durable fixing. Its neat finish also improves the overall appearance of the installation.

Other installation accessories for decking pedestals

Screws for fixing clips to joists are commonly used components in decking construction. These accessories should be resistant to moisture and corrosion to maintain a durable connection between the clip and the joist or board for as long as possible.

Garden edging is a component whose main purpose is to provide an attractive finish to garden areas. These are highly resistant components (to chemicals and UV radiation) and are most often installed with metal caps. They can easily be adapted to different slab and paving block heights and joined together to create an attractive finishing installation. They are secured using plastic or steel edging nails.

Concealed connectors for decking boards connect decking boards to joists in such a way that the connections are not visible, unlike screws and caps.

All installation accessories for pedestals are intended to optimise the functionality of the entire structure and increase its stability – and therefore its safety. Some serve decorative or finishing purposes, making the decking look more attractive.
