Pedestals for wooden decking: what types of pedestals are there?
Basically, there are two different types of pedestals:
1. Pedestals with fixed head:
- The head of the pedestal is firmly connected to the thread and cannot move.
- Although the pedestal is height adjustable, it is overall a rigid part.
- These pedestals are simpler in construction and therefore usually cheaper.
- Please use these pedestals if you want to transfer an existing slope of the subfloor into the surface
2. Self-levelling pedestals
- The head of the pedestal is movable and can tilt by +/- 5%.
- That's great, to compensate for or change an existing slope or to compensate for small unevenness in the subfloor.
Here, for example, a slope is created on a flat surface:
What else do I need to pay attention to?
In addition to the construction type, the terrace covering is also important:
A. Pedestal supports for slabs
- These pedestals have small joint tabs that ensure the correct distance between the slabs.
- The slabs are placed directly on the pedestals.
B. Pedestals for wooden decking
- Here, a substructure is first placed on the pedestals.
- The substructure is attached to the pedestal.
- Only then are the wooden or WPC planks laid on the substructure.

Pedestals for wooden decking – planning with the configurator:
You can plan all pedestals for wooden decking with our configurator.
Using the configurator is free and does not require registration; we do not collect any data from you!
First, you enter the area to be laid: you can choose predefined shapes or create a completely free floor plan. You can also upload plans in jpg format! This is a very popular way of tracing the floor plan of your terrace.
Now enter the type of terrace covering - in this case wood or WPC planks. You also define the plank dimensions here:
In a further step, you tell the configurator which type of pedestal support for the wooden decking you want to use: with a fixed head or self-levelling.
Here you also specify the height of the substructure.
You then define the total heights to be achieved at all corners.
Of course, you can also enter additional elevation points.
The configurator now calculates from your information
- the number,
– the required type of pedestals and
– the resulting total price.
This total price can be viewed at any time on the right under the item 'Material list'.
Here you can see this material list enlarged:
You can then save the result as a PDF or add it directly to your shopping cart.
Frequently asked questions about pedestals for wooden terraces

Can pedestals be placed on gravel?
If you are thinking of placing your pedestals on gravel, we can give you some information.
When installing pedestals, the following requirements must be met:First, the subfloor must solid .
Secondly, the subfloor should be even .Accordingly, you must create these conditions.
For example, we recommend using an inexpensive concrete slab that is hammered into the gravel.
This gives you a solid and level surface for the pedestalsThe following examples document this:

Which pedestals are the best?
Due to many inquiries on this topic, we strive to provide information that is as neutral as possible.
Because we believe that there are some points that are crucial for a pedestal.1. The stability of the pedestal
First, the issue of stability is worth mentioning.
Two points are important here.
Firstly, the pedestals must stable in itself .
For example, a gap that is too loose between the thread and the outer wall of the pedestal is problematic.
Second, the the force should be transmitted to the underfloor as evenly as possible.
Accordingly, this is best achieved with a continuous contact surface of the pedestal.
The larger the support surface of the pedestal, the better the load is distributed.2. Flexibility:
Furthermore, flexibility is extremely important on the construction site.
This means, above all, that you not only have enough pedestals on site for installation.
It is also important that the correct construction heights are available on site.
If you therefore need several different heights of pedestal supports, the following is especially important.
Either you have a system with few individual parts (pedestals with height adapters) – or you can choose pedestals with as few types as possible (heights). As a result, these types should have the largest possible adjustment range!
This gives you flexibility on the construction site and prevents delays3. The details
Ultimately, it is the details that matter. Because you certainly want
- finish the terrace cleanly against a house wall (edge finishing clips)
- carry out a lateral vertical edge cladding or
- integrate drainage channels seamlessly into the pedestal construction
As a result, we offer you a wide range of accessories that are ideally suited for all of these applications!

Do you have to screw the pedestals?
In principle, the outermost row of pedestals should be fixed..
If a screw connection is possible depends on the terrace condition1. What is the outermost row of pedestals?
The outermost row of pedestals is a row to an open edge. An open edge is an edge that is not enclosed by walls or fixed fixing angles.
A typical 'open edge' is the last row of a balcony railing.
2. Why should the outermost row of pedestals be fixed?
The reason is that there should be no shifts in the outermost row of plates.
3. How can the fixation be done?
This depends on the nature of the subfloor:
On a concrete subfloor the pedestal can be screwed in. .
On a sealing layer the pedestal must be glued to the layer. Otherwise, the sealing layer will be damaged.
