FAQs

Can I use these on grass?

It is not recommended to place these pedestals directly on soft soil or grass; a concrete base or solid paving slabs are required for stability.

How many pedestals do I need?

The number of pedestals depends on your joist spacing and the overall span of your decking; refer to your decking manufacturer's span tables.

Are these suitable for commercial decks?

These are robust enough for residential and light commercial use, provided the installation follows standard load-bearing guidelines.

Can the height be adjusted once the deck is built?

Adjustments are significantly easier before the joists are permanently fastened to the heads; avoid moving them once the final deck boards are secured.

What is the maximum weight capacity?

The capacity depends on the distribution; please consult the Ecoscape technical load data sheet for specific PSI ratings.

Troubleshooting

Pedestal feels unstable after installation

Ensure the base is resting on a flat, solid substrate and that the height adjustment is fully locked in place.

Joists are not sitting level

Re-check the level at each pedestal point; you may need to fine-tune the height of individual pedestals to compensate for substrate irregularities.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures a perfectly level finished deck surface
  • High load-bearing capacity for stability
  • Reduces the risk of rot by elevating joists off the ground
  • Simplifies installation compared to traditional timber sleepers

Cons

  • Height range is restricted to 454mm-564mm
  • Requires careful planning of substrate before installation
  • May require additional support for heavy deck traffic areas

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, ensure the substrate is solid and capable of bearing the load of the decking system. 1. Measure the required height to ensure it falls within the 454mm-564mm range. 2. Place pedestals at the manufacturer-recommended joist centers. 3. Adjust the height by rotating the pedestal head until the level is achieved. 4. Secure the joists to the pedestal heads using appropriate fasteners. For long-term care, periodically inspect the underside of the deck to ensure no soil or debris has built up around the pedestals, which could impede drainage or cause moisture retention.
