SPIRAL LOW adjustable decking pedestal for joists

SPIRAL LOW adjustable decking pedestal for joists

• An adjustable pedestal for joists is a key component used mainly in the construction of decks and balconies. It is a special type of support that can be adjusted to different heights, making the installation of timber, composite or aluminium joists easier and more precise. The adjustment allows you to compensate for uneven ground or adapt the structure to changing conditions, ensuring the stability and durability of the deck.

 

Technical specifications:

Base diameter: 17.4 cm [174mm]

Stepped adjustment: in 1 mm increments

Maximum load: 500 kg / 1 pedestal

Pedestal height: 1 cm - 11 cm (SPIRAL pedestal heights can be easily selected from the product variants by clicking on the required pedestal). Each pedestal height has a different price. 

Suitable for: Composite joists, timber joists, aluminium joists

 

Key benefits of SPIRAL adjustable pedestals:

1. Adaptation to uneven ground: Adjustable pedestals make it easy to adjust the height of the deck to compensate for any uneven ground, eliminating the need for additional earthworks or levelling of the substrate.

2. Ease of installation: Height adjustment makes installing joists and the deck structure simpler and more flexible, saving time and labour.

3. Weather resistance: Adjustable pedestals are often made from weather-resistant materials, such as plastics or stainless steel, ensuring the durability and stability of the deck structure.

4. Future height adjustment: Thanks to height adjustment, the deck can easily be adapted to changing user needs or ground conditions in the future, increasing the flexibility and functionality of the structure.

5. Appearance: Adjustable pedestals are often designed to blend in with the rest of the deck structure, helping to maintain an attractive overall appearance.

6. Material savings: By allowing precise adjustment of joist heights, adjustable pedestals help minimise the amount of material used, which can contribute to lower construction costs.

 

How to use the pedestals?

• Position the pedestals on the ground, concrete or another substrate so that they remain stable. 

 

• Space them at suitable intervals so that the joist resting on the pedestals does not deflect in any way. 

 

• Screw the joists to the pedestals to create a stable overall structure.

 

Summary:

• Using adjustable decking pedestals for joists offers many benefits, such as easier installation, flexibility, durability and an attractive appearance, making them a popular choice for building decks and other outdoor timber structures.

• Thanks to its design, an adjustable decking pedestal for joists is not only more efficient than traditional solutions, but also more economical! Using this type of pedestal saves money. As they do not require any alterations to the substrate or insulation layers, the pedestals and joists do not affect the durability of the insulation layers. This helps you avoid frequent, cumbersome maintenance and costly repairs.

• The new pedestal allows the minimum deck height to be adjusted from just 10 mm to an impressive 210 mm. This makes it possible to use ventilated decking technology even where there is very little clearance above the substrate surface.
