Troubleshooting
Pedestal is not stable
Ensure the base is on a flat, firm surface. Check that the joist is securely fastened to the head. Verify the height adjustment ring is fully tightened.
Difficulty adjusting height
Clear any debris from the adjustment ring and threaded mechanism. Lightly lubricate the threads if necessary. Ensure the joist is not pressing down excessively on the head during adjustment.
Joist does not sit flush on pedestal head
Check if the joist is warped. Ensure the pedestal head is clean and free of obstructions. Verify the joist is correctly aligned with the fixing tab.
Noise when walking on the deck
Consider installing the optional rubber base ring beneath the pedestal base to absorb vibrations and reduce noise.
