Terrace on pedestals

Deck on pedestal solutions: types of pedestals and uses

Creating a deck on pedestals allows for the quick and durable installation of an aesthetic and functional outdoor space. This system, highly popular for both renovation and new construction projects, relies on the use of adjustable pedestals, compatible with stone slabs, porcelain stoneware, outdoor tiling, wood, or composite. The Plots Discount range offers a complete selection of deck pedestals adapted to all ground configurations and finishing requirements.

Adjustable pedestals: adaptability at the heart of the installation

The adjustable pedestals (Jouplast, Cleman type...), listed at Plots Discount, cover wide height ranges: generally from 25 to 260 mm, depending on the models (with possible extenders). Thanks to their adjustment ring and high resistance to structural load (often exceeding 1 ton/pedestal), they guarantee precise leveling on any type of support: concrete slab, old tiling, stabilized gravel, or compacted soil. There are screw jack versions, self-leveling for high-slope grounds (self-leveling pedestals), facilitating the correction of elevation changes up to 5 percent without heavy ground work.

Material compatibility: slab, wood, tiling, and composite

The deck on pedestal system caters to all landscaping desires: concrete slabs, large-format porcelain stoneware, outdoor tiling, and wood or composite boards find their place on our pedestals. Some models feature a universal head with tabs for laying slabs or a head with a joist support (joist pedestals): the pedestal adjustment ensured by the ring or adjustment key thus allows for an impeccable finish, without specific tools.

Technical tips for a successful installation

Preparing and laying a deck on pedestals

Before laying a deck on pedestals, it is essential to ensure the stability of the support ground: concrete deck, old tiled deck, graveled slab, or well-compacted natural ground. On soft ground, placing a geotextile helps limit weed growth. Arrange the pedestals at regular intervals respecting the layout plan adapted to the dimensions of the slabs, boards, or small tiles (generally from 4 to 6 pedestals/m2 on 60x60 cm slabs).

Setting heights and adjusting flatness

One of the major advantages of the adjustable pedestal lies in its ability to correct defects in the existing ground: the adjustment wheel offers precise adjustment for a perfectly flat surface, even on an irregular base. For installations on tiling or porcelain stoneware, the slab plates ensure uniform load distribution.

Finishes and lateral cladding

To perfect the finish of your deck on pedestals, complete the installation with edging profiles or lateral cladding supports, guaranteeing a professional aesthetic. The use of extenders allows for reaching specific heights, ideal for catching up levels or respecting constraints related to the embedding of joinery and thresholds.
