Simplified site preparation

To properly support your terrace, the joist pedestal must be installed on a previously prepared site, except in the case of installation on a concrete slab. In fact, the pedestal must be firmly held by a level and stable ground so that your terrace does not move over time.

Preparing the site does not require any major work and is accessible to everyone, whether you are a do-it-yourselfer or not. Indeed, simple, inexpensive and quick, this compulsory step must be carried out with care to enjoy your structure in the long term. Here are a few steps to be carried out to prepare the ground for the terrace:

•          Make a 15 cm deep earthwork;
•          Put a geotextile felt on it to prevent weeds from growing;
•          Cover it with 15 cm of gravel and compact it.

Remember that it is essential that the surface of your future terrace does not sink and that it must be level.

The enormous advantage of the pedestal for joist is its practicality. Within everyone's reach, it adapts to all supports to install a wooden terrace on pedestal that can be laid on earth, grass, concrete or on an existing deck surface. Laying a wooden terrace on soft ground will meet your needs and facilitate the creation of your terrace. The pedestal is a significant time saver since it is laid on the ground without glue or screws. Professionals appreciate it for its time saving, while private individuals appreciate it for its quick installation.

Easy and quick to install

After preparing the ground, you will be surprised at how easy it is to lay the pedestal and the joists. Your terrace is laid in less than 3 days without any additional tools and without having to pay a professional! Adjustable, solid and durable, the wood terrace pedestal holds your terrace firmly in place no matter what use is made of it.

Installation is a simple 4-step process:

1.        Place the pedestals on the ground, keeping the required distance between them. We advise you to leave 70 cm between each adjustable joist pedestal. In this way, the loads are evenly distributed over the entire terrace. Adjust the pedestal for terrace to the millimeter using the adjustment ring ;
2.        Place the joists on the heads of the pedestals. Then make sure that the structure is level;
3.        Screw the joists with wood screws, count 2 for this step;
4.        Finish by screwing the natural wood or composite wood strips onto the joists. Necessary tools: screwdriver and wood screws.

Once the joists have been installed, it is possible to finish the wood terrace on pedestal at the end or along the entire length of the joists. To do this, simply attach the cladding support to the base of the joist terrace pedestal and secure it with a screw. Then position the joists in order to create an aesthetic and trendy terrace. You will then have to fix the finishes with screws and that's it! This technique makes it possible to close the terrace laterally and hide the pedestals located under the surface.
