Decking Pedestals
A new way to create the perfect patio
Decking pedestals, designed for use with pavers and decking on flat roofs, offer a new approach to installing the perfect patio.
Fully adjustable and in a range of sizes, patio and decking pedestals simplify the creation of free-draining roof terraces and balcony projects. Ideal for protecting membrane and other elements from footfall and furniture.
Why use decking pedestals?
Decking pedestals are commonly used to protect membrane and other roofing elements from the potential damage that footfall and terrace furniture can cause. Because the waterproofing and insulating layers are arguably the most important, they must be protected from sharp objects and potential damage that could affect long-term performance.
Adjustable decking pedestals take and spread the weight of heavy footfall and furniture typically associated with a flat roof terrace or balcony. They can also ease installation of walkways and maintenance access areas, particularly in intensive green roof projects. Easy to adjust, pedestals can make it simple to level the surface perfectly and create a safe, comfortable walking surface.
The benefits of using decking pedestals:
Fully adjustable for an even surface
Self-levelling pedestal head with up to 7% gradient
Spread foundation for stability and load bearing
Free draining patio
Compatible with waterproofing membranes
Designed for use with decking and pavers
Create more usable space
Protects membrane

How many decking pedestals you need will depend on several installation factors, including the type of decking being installed, the substrate and the load bearing requirements. There is no minimum spacing recommendation. For pavers, it is recommended that pedestals are used at all corners.

Flat roof trim can provide a completely watertight seal in EPDM roofing systems by sandwiching the membrane and preventing water ingress. Trim is typically fitted around the exposed edges of the roof and to fix to adjoining upstanding brickwork where necessary. In addition to enhancing performance of rubber roofing, trim gives the project a neat and tidy finish, essential for aesthetic kerb value.
Pipe extrusions on flat roofs can be easily handled using an EPDM pipe boot flashing accessory. These are specifically designed to suit a range of pipe sizes and can be adjusted easily on-site. Find out more and buy an EPDM pipe boot online.
