Heavy Gauge Adjustable Pedestal
Constructed with a 5mm ABS plastic to increase strength. As a result, each pedestal is rated for a minimum of 2,000kg loading. We stock three standard sizes, 30-38mm, 50-75mm and 75-105mm. Different sizes can be used on the same deck if the slope requires it.
Adjustable Pedestal base element
All the bases are manufactured with a diameter of 200mm to create stability and spread load. Each base has 100m holes for securing to the base, and the product can be bonded with construction adhesive if preferred. The thread is fine in order to ensure the correct level is found with ease.
Joist cradle design
Specifically designed for decking joists the cradle has an internal gap to allow a maximum joist width of 50mm to be used. Other options are available with special order. There are also opposing slots for noggins. Fixing slots are incorporated in order to secure the joists in place.
Frequently asked questions
Should I use hidden composite decking clips?
Installing decking with a hidden fastening system creates a clean, smooth surface. Rather than installing screws through the top of every deck board, clips are attached to the joists and pin down boards using the rebate in the edges. It is important to use a hidden fastening system.
Can you screw down composite decking?
Yes, you can do this if absolutely necessary, and you must pre drill the boards, and for best results, countersink before fixing the board.
Can you screw decking straight to concrete?
No, this is simply not recommended. There must be some form of joist to fix the boards too. In low height situations then there are options that we are happy to discuss with you personally.
