FAQs

Can I use these on grass?

No, these are intended for hard, stable surfaces like concrete or solid paving. Using them on soft soil can lead to sinking and deck failure.

What is the maximum height?

The maximum height for this specific model is 272mm.

Do I need to fix the pedestals to the ground?

While the weight of the deck often holds them in place, it is recommended to follow the specific mounting guidelines provided with your Ecoscape decking kit.

Can these be used with timber joists?

Yes, they are compatible with most standard timber or composite joist profiles used in decking construction.

Are they UV resistant?

Yes, the materials are chosen for outdoor durability and UV resistance.

Troubleshooting

Pedestal feels wobbly after adjustment

Ensure the base is resting on a firm, level surface and verify that all joists are securely fixed to the pedestal heads.

Difficulty rotating the height adjustment collar

Clear any grit or debris from the threads and ensure the weight of the joist is not entirely pinning the pedestal before attempting to adjust.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly speeds up the leveling process for decking substructures
  • Reduces the need for complex, labor-intensive concrete shimming
  • Highly durable material prevents moisture-related rot
  • Large, stable base footprint provides excellent weight distribution

Cons

  • Height is limited to the 209mm-272mm range
  • Requires proper load calculation to avoid exceeding weight limits
  • Not intended for use on soft, non-compacted soil without a stable base

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, ensure the underlying surface is stable and debris-free. Place the pedestals according to your joist layout plan, typically spaced every 400mm to 600mm depending on joist size and loading requirements. Once placed, rotate the adjustment collar to fine-tune the height until the spirit level indicates perfect flatness. Care is minimal; once the deck is installed, the pedestals are largely maintenance-free, though it is advisable to inspect the drainage path around the bases during annual deck cleanings to ensure water can flow freely beneath the substructure.
