SPIRAL HIGH adjustable decking pedestal for joists

SPIRAL HIGH Adjustable Decking Pedestal for Joists

• An adjustable pedestal for joists is a key component used mainly in the construction of decks and balconies. This specialised support can be adjusted to different heights, allowing easier and more precise installation of timber, composite or aluminium joists. Its adjustability allows you to compensate for uneven ground or adapt the structure to changing conditions, ensuring the deck's stability and durability.

 

Technical specifications:

Base diameter: 17.4 cm [174mm]

Adjustment increments: 1 mm

Maximum load: 500 kg / 1 pedestal

Pedestal height: 11 cm - 21 cm (SPIRAL pedestal heights can be easily selected using 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. Adapting to uneven ground: Adjustable pedestals make it easy to adjust the deck height to accommodate uneven ground, eliminating the need for additional earthworks or levelling of the base.

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 adjustments: Height adjustment allows the deck to be easily adapted to changing user needs or ground conditions in the future, increasing the structure's flexibility and functionality.

5. Appearance: Adjustable pedestals are often designed to blend in visually 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 reduce construction costs.

 

How do you use the pedestals?

• Position the pedestals on the ground, concrete or another base so that they stand securely. 

 

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

 

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

 

Summary:

• Using adjustable decking pedestals for joists offers many benefits, including 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 effective than traditional solutions, but also more economical! Using this type of pedestal saves money. As they do not require any alteration to the base or insulation layers, the pedestals and joists do not affect the durability of the insulation layers. This helps you avoid frequent, inconvenient maintenance and costly repairs.

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