The Ecoscape Composite Decking Fixed Pedestal (29mm–44mm) is an essential component for professional decking installers and DIY enthusiasts looking to create a perfectly level foundation for their composite decking. By providing a stable, adjustable base for joist substructures, these pedestals simplify the construction process on uneven surfaces; however, they require careful planning to ensure the load is distributed evenly across the entire frame.

No, these are designed to be installed on a solid, stable, and level foundation such as concrete, paving slabs, or a compacted sub-base.
The number of pedestals depends on the span of your joists and the expected load. Consult your decking manufacturer’s joist span requirements for specific spacing intervals.
These pedestals offer an adjustable elevation between 29mm and 44mm.
Yes, provided they are installed according to the load-bearing specifications and spacing requirements for commercial-grade decking.
Depending on the wind exposure and deck design, some installers choose to fix the base to the sub-surface, though they often rely on the weight of the deck for stability.
Ensure the pedestal is fully tightened and that the joist is firmly fixed into the cradle; check that the base of the pedestal is resting on a completely flat, stable surface.
Ensure the threads are free of construction debris or grit; clean the threads with a dry brush and try adjusting again.
To set up your Ecoscape pedestals, first map out your joist layout on your designated area. Place the pedestals at the required intervals and use a spirit level across the joists as you adjust the pedestal height. Compatibility is primarily with standard composite joist profiles; ensure your joist width sits securely within the pedestal cradle. For maintenance, once the decking is installed, these pedestals generally require no attention, as they are non-corrosive. However, it is advisable to clear debris from around the base during annual decking inspections to ensure proper drainage and prevent moisture buildup.
