Planning to build or redo your deck, but hesitating because it is a time-consuming task? Dealing with a slope or uneven ground? Need to disguise plumbing or conduits? Pedestals to the rescue!

Pedestal systems are the perfect solution to all these problems and more. Rapidly growing in popularity, pedestals have become the go-to in solving hardscaping issues and an easy way to create decks, patios, or other raised floors in both residential and commercial spaces.

10 Great reasons to use a pedestal system when building a deck.

  1. Strength and Durability – Pedestals offer exceptional load-bearing strength and can easily handle the ravages of mother nature, making them the ideal solution in commercial areas.
  2. Ease of Installation – Using a pedestal system is the easiest and fastest way to build a deck. Whether a seasoned professional or a DIY’er, pedestal systems will take a load off your back and get the job done fast.
  3. Level Floors, No Matter What You Start With– The Eterno Ivica Pedestal System offers self-levelling heads capable of reaching and supporting a slope of 5 %, making them ideal for solving uneven or inclined surface issues in new projects or those that are already underway.
  4. Raised Floors – When using pedestals to create a raised floor, you can easily disguise plumbing or electrical conduits underneath. When you need access to what lies below, simply lift a tile or two, inspect or repair, and replace the tile. Try that with concrete!
  5. No Jointing, Sand or Grout – The natural complement to a pedestal system is a porcelain tile surface. Simply balance the tiles locked into the slots on the pedestal, and away you go.
  6. A Cost-Effective Solution – Unlike traditional methods, pedestals are an affordable way to build a deck.
  7. Useful in a Variety of Locations – Ever try to squeeze a cement truck between houses? Pedestals work in the tightest of spots, in places where access is limited, or even on rooftops.
  8. A Safer Option – Thanks to the built-in drainage that a pedestal system offers, rainwater drains away quickly, minimizing the risk of slips or falls.
  9. Adaptability – Pedestal systems can be used in a wide range of projects, with a variety of surface materials and enlisted to solve a myriad of issues, including uneven surfaces, projects on sloped roofs and in tight, hard to reach spaces. Now you can expand your outdoor living area in spaces that were previously inconceivable, unlocking a world of new options. Now you can build what you want, where you want.
  10. Rooftops Too – Use pedestals to create more outdoor living space above your home, even on a sloped roof! From rooftop decks to green roofs, pedestal systems are the best way to open up new outdoor living space.
