FAQs
What is the maximum slope these pedestals can correct?
Each Raptor Decking Pedestal Support unit is designed to correct up to a 7% slope.
Can I stack these pedestals to achieve greater height?
While not explicitly designed for stacking, multiple units can be used in proximity to support a level surface on uneven ground. Always ensure stability and consult installation guides or professionals for complex setups.
Are these suitable for all types of decking?
Yes, they are designed for use with decking joists and beams and are compatible with most decking materials.
How do I clean the pedestals?
Clean the pedestals with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the material.
What is the warranty period for Raptor Decking Pedestals?
Please refer to the product packaging or the official Raptor website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and retailer.
Do I need special tools for installation?
Installation is designed to be simple. Basic tools for measuring and potentially adjusting may be needed, but no specialized equipment is typically required.
Troubleshooting
Decking feels unstable after installation
Verify that all pedestals are firmly seated on a stable base and that joists are securely fastened. Ensure the maximum slope correction capacity of 7% per unit has not been exceeded without appropriate support.
Pedestals do not seem to correct the slope adequately
Confirm the exact percentage of the slope. If it exceeds 7%, additional pedestals or shims may be required. Ensure pedestals are fully extended or adjusted to their maximum capacity.
Water pooling around the pedestals
Check that the drainage openings on the pedestals are not blocked by dirt, leaves, or other debris. Ensure the overall deck design allows for adequate water runoff.
