STANDARD adjustable decking pedestal for joists

STANDARD Adjustable Decking Pedestal for Joists

• An adjustable pedestal for joists is a structural component used mainly in deck construction. This type of support can be adjusted to different heights, allowing easier and more precise installation of timber, composite or aluminium joists. Its adjustability makes it possible to compensate for uneven ground or adapt the structure to changing conditions.

 

Technical specifications:

Base diameter: 16.8 cm [168mm]

Slope correction: 0-7%

Maximum load: 1100 kg / 1 pedestal

Pedestal heights: 3 cm - 42 cm (STANDARD pedestal heights can easily be 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 STANDARD adjustable pedestals:

1. Adaptation to uneven ground: Adjustable pedestals allow the deck height to be easily adjusted to accommodate uneven ground, eliminating the need for additional earthworks or levelling of the base.

2. Ease of installation: Height adjustment makes installing the joists and 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 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 to use the pedestals

• Place the pedestals on the ground, concrete or another base so that they remain stable. 

 

• Space them at appropriate 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 can therefore offer many benefits, such as easier installation, flexibility, durability and an attractive appearance, making them a popular solution 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! This pedestal can help you save money. As it does not require any intervention in 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 work and costly repairs.
