Product Information

Full details

The Ecoscape Composite Decking Fixed Pedestal (564mm - 674mm) is an essential solution for professional landscapers and DIY enthusiasts who require a stable, elevated foundation for decking joists. By providing consistent support and precise leveling, these pedestals ensure the structural integrity of your composite decking system while preventing direct contact with the ground. Please note that while highly durable, these pedestals must be installed on a solid, load-bearing surface to maintain their structural integrity and prevent sinking.

FAQs

Can I use these on grass?

No, these are intended for hard, stable surfaces. Using them on grass will likely lead to sinking and deck instability.

What is the primary function of these pedestals?

They serve to elevate and level joist substructures, keeping them off the ground to prevent rot and uneven deck surfaces.

Are these pedestals adjustable?

Yes, they feature a threaded mechanism allowing for adjustment between 564mm and 674mm.

Do I need to fix the pedestal to the floor?

Depending on the installation size and wind exposure, it is often recommended to secure the base to the substrate if the surface allows.

What is the weight limit for each pedestal?

The pedestal is designed for standard residential decking loads; please refer to your project structural plan for exact weight distribution requirements.

Troubleshooting

Pedestal feels unstable after installation.

Verify that the base of the pedestal is resting firmly on a flat, solid surface and that the adjustment threads are fully engaged.

Joist does not sit level across multiple pedestals.

Check your base ground level and adjust individual pedestal heights one by one until the spirit level indicates a perfectly horizontal run.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Covers a significant height range of 110mm
  • Highly durable material composition for long-term outdoor use
  • Promotes proper airflow beneath the deck to prevent moisture buildup
  • Facilitates rapid installation compared to traditional timber or concrete footings

Cons

  • Not suitable for use on soft, loose, or uncompacted ground surfaces
  • Limited adjustment range compared to smaller pedestal models
  • Requires precise spacing for optimal weight distribution

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Ground Preparation: Ensure the base is solid and level. Avoid loose soil or gravel unless it is well-compacted.
  2. Placement: Lay the pedestals out according to the joist layout plan. Place them at corners and at specific intervals along the joist run.
  3. Adjustment: Rotate the threaded head of the pedestal to reach the target height. Use a spirit level on top of the joist to verify.
  4. Fixing: Secure the joist to the pedestal head using appropriate screws according to the manufacturer's specification.
  5. Maintenance: Periodically check for any settling after the first season of use. Clear any debris that may accumulate between the pedestals to maintain drainage and airflow.
