Full details

The Ecoscape Adjustable Pedestal (ECO395KD) is an essential solution for deck builders and DIY enthusiasts looking to create a perfectly level sub-frame for composite decking. Designed to support joist structures, these pedestals allow for precise height adjustments between 63mm and 95mm, ensuring structural integrity even on uneven surfaces; however, users should ensure the base substrate is adequately compacted before installation to prevent long-term settling.

FAQs

Can these pedestals be used on soft soil?

It is not recommended to place them directly on soil. Always use a stable base like a paving slab or concrete pad to prevent the pedestal from sinking over time.

What is the weight capacity per pedestal?

These pedestals are engineered for standard residential decking loads; refer to your specific substructure design to ensure you are within load limits.

Can I use these for timber joists?

Yes, they are compatible with both composite and timber joist substructures.

How do I calculate how many I need?

Calculate the total area of your deck and the spacing requirements of your joists; generally, divide the total joist length by your spacing interval and add additional support at joist ends.

Are these pedestals weather-resistant?

Yes, the materials are specifically chosen for outdoor durability and resistance to typical garden moisture and temperature fluctuations.

Troubleshooting

Pedestal feels unstable after adjustment

Ensure the base is resting on a level, solid surface and that the threaded collar is fully tightened to lock the height.

Joists are not perfectly level

Check your spirit level frequently during installation; rotate individual pedestals slightly to fine-tune the height of specific joist sections.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster than manual shimming
  • High load-bearing capacity for long-lasting stability
  • Corrosion-resistant materials suitable for outdoor use
  • Allows for drainage and airflow beneath the deck

Cons

  • Requires a solid, non-yielding base for optimal performance
  • Height range limited to 63-95mm
  • Requires proper spatial planning to calculate necessary quantity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the pedestals, first calculate the layout of your joists to determine the required number of supports, typically spacing them no more than 400mm-500mm apart. Ensure the substrate is hard-packed or solid; if installing on soil, consider using a paving slab or concrete base underneath the pedestal to prevent sinking. To adjust, simply rotate the threaded head of the pedestal until you achieve your desired joist height. Periodically inspect your deck annually to ensure no pedestals have shifted due to ground movement. Keep the area beneath the deck free from debris to maintain consistent ventilation.
