The Ecoscape Composite Decking Fixed Pedestal (ECO141114QD) is an essential structural component for professional deck installers and DIY enthusiasts looking to create a perfectly level and stable substructure. Designed specifically for joist support, it offers a robust solution for elevated decking projects, though users should ensure their sub-base is compacted or reinforced to handle the concentrated load of these pedestals.

It is not recommended to use pedestals directly on grass; you must provide a solid, level surface like a concrete slab or a compacted stone base.
These pedestals are engineered for standard residential decking loads; refer to the load-bearing documentation provided with your specific joist layout.
It is best to set the height before the decking boards are attached, as adding weight to the frame makes fine-tuning difficult.
While the weight of the joists often holds them in place, anchoring the base is recommended if the deck is located in an area subject to high winds.
Yes, they are compatible with most standard timber and composite joist systems used for decking substructures.
Ensure the base surface is level and fully compacted; check that the adjustment collar is locked securely.
Verify the total height required is within the 1004mm to 1114mm specification; if the project requires a different height, consider using a different pedestal model.
To install, ensure your surface is clean and level before placing the pedestals. Calculate the spacing based on your joist manufacturer's recommendations—typically 400mm to 600mm centers. Once positioned, adjust the pedestal to the desired height (1004mm to 1114mm) by rotating the locking mechanism. Regularly check that the pedestal remains vertical; any tilt can compromise the load-bearing capacity. Maintenance involves periodic inspection after extreme weather to ensure the pedestals have not shifted or settled due to ground movement.
