Full details

This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and professional builders looking to create level and durable decking on uneven surfaces. The Nicoman Adjustable Pedestal Support provides a stable, elevated base for various joist materials, improving drainage and airflow. A key benefit is its precise height adjustability for perfect leveling on challenging terrain. One caveat is that it is designed for joist systems, not direct deck board installation.

FAQs

What is the height range of these pedestals?

The Nicoman Adjustable Pedestal Supports are designed to adjust from a minimum height of 60mm to a maximum of 140mm.

Can I use these supports directly with deck boards?

No, these pedestals are specifically designed to support joist systems. Deck boards should be attached to the joists.

What materials can the joists be made of?

They are compatible with timber, composite, plastic, and aluminum joists.

Do I need special tools to install these?

Basic tools such as a level, drill, and screwdriver/wrench for fixing the base plate are typically required. Adjustment is done by hand.

How do I secure the pedestals to the ground?

The wide base plate has multiple mounting holes. You will need to use appropriate screws or anchors suitable for your specific sub-surface (e.g., concrete screws, lag bolts), which are not included.

How many pedestals are in a box?

Each box contains 10 Nicoman Adjustable Pedestal Supports.

Can these be used for temporary structures?

Yes, these supports are suitable for both permanent and temporary decking installations.

Troubleshooting

Pedestal not holding desired height

Ensure the rotating column is fully engaged and locked into position. Check for any debris interfering with the mechanism.

Joist feels unstable in the cradle

Verify the joist is correctly seated within the cradle. For added security, consider using L-brackets or screws to fix the joist to the pedestal cradle.

Difficulty in precise height adjustment

Ensure the pedestal is placed on a stable surface. Clean the rotating mechanism if it feels stiff or obstructed.

Base plate does not sit flush

The sub-surface may be uneven. Grind down high spots on the sub-surface or use a flexible membrane under the base plate if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the Sub-surface: Ensure the ground or existing surface is clean and free of debris.
  2. Position Pedestals: Place the pedestals at planned intervals according to your decking design and joist spans.
  3. Adjust Height: Rotate the central column to achieve the desired height. Use a level to ensure accuracy across multiple pedestals.
  4. Secure Pedestals: Fix the wide hexagonal base plate to the sub-surface using appropriate screws or anchors (not included).
  5. Install Joists: Place your timber, composite, or aluminum joists into the integrated cradles at the top of the pedestals.
  6. Final Level Check: Verify the entire joist frame is level before proceeding with deck board installation.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for timber, composite, plastic, and aluminum joists.
  • Compatible with a wide range of sub-surfaces including concrete, existing patios, and roofing membranes (ensure appropriate fixings are used).

Care:

  • Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Periodically check for stability and re-tighten any screws or fixings if necessary.
