Raised decking, particularly heavy-duty applications.

Description

Heavy-duty self-levelling adjustable height pedestals for decking.


Features and benefits:

  • Designed for heavy loads.
  • Height range of 25–1025 mm.
  • The self-levelling headpiece is used to accommodate differences in the deck surface below the pedestal.
  • Suspended system.
  • Fully adjustable; top key system for in-situ adjustments.
  • Compatible with the cross-rail system for additional support (pedestal/ rail specified as a separate product).
  • Also available as a paving pedestal, specified separately.


Paving-specific:

  • The lugs (fins) are set out towards the edges of the headpiece giving a 55-mm gap between them to house a timber joist.
  • Decking boards are then fixed to the timber joist frame no need to cut furrings – simply adjust the pedestal height
  • The auto-correcting head makes installing decking systems much faster than traditional methods.
