FAQs
What is the minimum and maximum height this pedestal can achieve?
This specific model supports a height range of 30-60mm. For different height requirements, Nicoman offers models with varying ranges, such as 18-230mm and 140-220mm.
Can I use these pedestals on soft ground like soil?
While the wide base offers some stability, it is highly recommended to install on a firm, compacted surface. For soil, consider using paving slabs or a compacted gravel base beneath each pedestal for optimal support.
What types of joists can I use with these pedestals?
These pedestals are designed to support timber, composite, plastic, and aluminium joists.
How many pedestals do I need for my deck?
The number of pedestals required depends on the size of your deck, the type of joists used, and the manufacturer's spacing recommendations for your decking material. It is advised to consult a decking layout guide or professional for accurate calculations.
Are these pedestals suitable for permanent installations?
Yes, they are engineered for durable outdoor use and are suitable for both permanent and temporary elevated decking structures.
How do I clean the pedestals?
Clean the pedestals with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.
Can I run cables or pipes underneath the deck using these pedestals?
Yes, the space created by elevating the subframe with these pedestals allows for the neat routing of cables, pipes, and other services underneath the decking.
Troubleshooting
Pedestal not holding height adjustment
Ensure the rotating column is fully engaged and locked. Check for any debris preventing a secure fit. If persistent, the pedestal may be faulty.
Deck surface feels uneven after installation
Re-check the height adjustment of each individual pedestal. Ensure all pedestals are securely fixed to the base surface. Verify joist placement within the cradles.
Visible movement or wobble in the deck
Confirm all pedestals are adequately secured to the sub-surface. Check if the sub-surface itself is stable. Ensure joists are correctly seated in the cradles and properly fastened.
Difficulty adjusting height
Clean the rotating mechanism of any dirt or grit. Try a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary. Do not force the adjustment.
