The Ecoscape Composite Decking Fixed Pedestal (ECO131004QD) is an essential component for professional deck builders and DIY enthusiasts seeking a stable, elevated foundation for composite decking systems. These pedestals provide critical support for the joist substructure, ensuring a level surface across uneven ground; however, they require careful calculation and measurement during the initial planning phase to ensure the deck remains perfectly flat at the desired height.

It is not recommended to place pedestals directly on grass. The ground should be excavated and backfilled with compacted aggregate or a concrete slab to prevent sinking.
These pedestals are designed for high-load residential decking, but please consult local building codes or the Ecoscape load chart for specific maximum weight limits.
In most floating deck applications, the weight of the completed deck system keeps the pedestals in place, though they can be secured to concrete if necessary.
Yes, they are constructed from high-durability materials designed for outdoor use and resistance to typical weather elements.
Yes, they are frequently used on flat roofs, provided the roof membrane is protected by a suitable geo-textile or rubber pad under the pedestal base.
Reduce the spacing between pedestals or add additional support columns to decrease the span of the joists.
Ensure all pedestal bases are sitting on firm, level contact points; adjust individual units using a long spirit level as a reference.
Verify that the locking mechanism is fully engaged and the base is not resting on loose soil or shifting gravel.
To set up these pedestals, begin by establishing your perimeter string lines to identify the desired finished floor height. Once the layout is marked, position the pedestals and adjust the height by rotating the threaded section to reach your target elevation. Use a long spirit level across multiple pedestals to ensure a uniform plane. These units are compatible with most standard composite and timber joist systems. For care, ensure the underlying surface (such as concrete or compacted earth) is stable enough to prevent sinking over time. Periodic inspection of the joists to ensure they remain securely fastened to the pedestal heads is recommended after the first season of use.
