Why Choose Pedestal Deck Supports?

Pedestal deck supports are height-adjustable platforms that elevate decking materials—such as wood, composite, pavers, and tile—over virtually any substrate. They’re ideal for:

Uneven terrain or sloped roofs: Micro-adjustable pedestals compensate for grade changes up to 1″ per foot.
Rooftop terraces & balconies: Create a freestanding, non-penetrating deck that protects waterproof membranes.
Decks over existing patios: Install over cracked concrete or gravel without demolition.
Underfloor access: Conceal wiring, irrigation, or HVAC lines beneath the deck surface.

Compared to traditional post-and-beam or poured-in-place footings, pedestal systems cut labor time, eliminate messy concrete work, and offer superior drainage and ventilation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What substrates work with pedestal supports?

Pedestals can be installed over concrete, asphalt, gravel, compacted soil, and single-ply or built-up roof membranes (with proper roof-protective underlayment).

How many pedestals will I need?

As a rule of thumb, plan for one pedestal every 3–4 sq ft. We perform a detailed layout to determine exact quantities based on deck size and material.

Can I install pedestals on a slight slope?

Yes. Our self-leveling heads adjust up to 5% slope, and stacking bases accommodate height differences up to 6″.

Do pedestal decks require edge restraints?

Yes. Per code, all pedestal deck perimeters need secure border trim or curb containment to prevent lateral movement of boards or pavers.

How long does installation take?

A typical residential roof or patio conversion (up to 500 sq ft) installs in 1–2 days, depending on prep work and decking material.
