The Ecoscape Composite Decking Fixed Pedestal (124mm–234mm) is an essential structural component designed for contractors and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable foundation for their outdoor decking projects. These pedestals offer a robust way to support joist substructures, ensuring that your decking frame remains perfectly level across uneven terrain. While they provide exceptional load-bearing stability for composite decking, users should note that they are specifically designed for joist support and may require precise measurement to ensure the height range matches the site requirements.

No, they should ideally be placed on a firm, stable surface such as concrete, paving slabs, or a compacted aggregate base to prevent sinking.
The number of pedestals required depends on your joist spacing and the load-bearing requirements of your decking boards. Consult your project's architectural plan for specific spacing intervals.
Yes, they are designed to be used in outdoor substructures and are built to withstand moisture exposure without the risk of biological decay common with timber blocks.
While designed for Ecoscape composite systems, they can often be used for other joist-based flooring, provided the load requirements and material compatibility are verified.
This specific unit is restricted to the 124mm-234mm range. If your project requires higher elevation, you would need to use a different pedestal size or build a sub-frame base.
Ensure the base is resting on a level, compacted surface and check that the locking mechanism is fully tightened.
Use a long spirit level to check the frame across multiple pedestals and adjust individual units as necessary until the frame is true.
Before starting, ensure that the ground surface is firm and cleared of debris to provide a stable footing for each pedestal. Position the pedestals according to your joist layout plan. Once placed, rotate the adjustment mechanism to reach your desired height, verifying the level with a bubble level or laser level across the entire frame. For long-term care, ensure that the pedestals remain clear of heavy sediment accumulation that could trap water against the substructure. Regularly inspect the joist connection points to ensure they remain secure through seasonal changes, as soil movement may occasionally require minor post-installation height adjustments.
