The Ecoscape Composite Decking Fixed Pedestal (ECO7344QD) is designed for professional landscapers and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, adjustable support system for their composite decking subframe. These pedestals provide a sturdy, level foundation by elevating joists, ensuring proper airflow and drainage beneath the deck surface. While they offer excellent stability and adjustability, users must ensure the ground surface is sufficiently compacted before installation to prevent future settling.

It is not recommended to place them directly on soil as it can shift. Always use a stable base like a concrete pad or paving slab.
These pedestals are engineered for standard composite decking subframe loads; ensure you follow your joist manufacturer's spacing guidelines.
The number depends on your joist span and decking material weight. Consult your decking project plan or structural engineer for spacing requirements.
Yes, they are ideal for balconies where leveling over existing flat surfaces is required.
While the weight of the deck often holds them in place, you may secure the base to concrete surfaces if local building codes require additional wind uplift protection.
Verify that all pedestals are weight-bearing and that the base is resting on a firm, non-compressible surface.
Ensure the threads are clean and free of debris; use a light silicone spray if movement remains stiff.
Place a paving slab or concrete spreader pad underneath the base to increase the footprint and weight distribution.
Before starting, ensure the ground is level and compacted. For optimal results, place each pedestal on a flat surface like a paving slab to avoid sinking. Place your joists into the pedestal cradles and use a spirit level to check each row. Once the height is set to your preference between 236mm and 344mm, ensure the locking mechanism is secured to prevent shifting. Minimal maintenance is required, but it is advisable to inspect the pedestals every few years to ensure no ground settling has occurred beneath the bases.
