Elevating Outdoor Spaces: The Advantages of Decking Pedestals

As urbanisation increases, outdoor spaces become precious commodities in our bustling cities. Tile and timber decks have become a popular choice for enhancing these spaces, providing areas for relaxation, gatherings, and recreation. Among the many components that contribute to the success of a decking project, Nurajacks stand out as a game-changer. In this article, we will explore the numerous advantages of using decking pedestals to elevate outdoor spaces, making them more functional, aesthetically pleasing, and sustainable.

Versatile and adaptable design

Nurajacks offer unparalleled versatility, accommodating various decking materials such as wood, composite, and even stone, without the need for traditional construction techniques. Whether you're envisioning a contemporary rooftop deck, a charming patio, or a level entry deck, these pedestals can be adjusted in height and self-level to compensate for most substrates. Combing the Nurajack with the Nuraspike, means Nurajacks can even be installed over grass and dirt. Their adaptability ensures that the final result aligns seamlessly with your architectural vision.

Easy and efficient installation

Traditional decking installations often involve complex frameworks and extensive foundation work. The Nurajack decking pedestal system, on the other hand, simplifies the process significantly. The system consists of the Nurajack adjustable supports that are placed on a stable surface, eliminating the need for extensive groundwork. When installing over grass or dirt, the Nuraspike can be driven into the ground providing a suitable support for the Nurajack. This not only speeds up the installation process but also reduces labour costs, making it a cost-effective solution for decking projects.

Levelling uneven surfaces

Outdoor areas are not always uniform in terms of slopes and gradients. Decking pedestals provide an efficient solution to level uneven surfaces, ensuring a flat and stable deck. The Nurajacks simply sit on these surfaces allowing the deck to be built above. Existing drainage remains in place, eliminating expensive drainage works.

Enhanced drainage and ventilation

Speaking of drainage, one of the significant advantages of decking pedestals is their ability to promote proper drainage and ventilation. The gap between the deck boards and the surface allows water to flow freely, preventing water accumulation and reducing the risk of rot or decay in the decking structure and problems or damage with the waterproofing. Additionally, improved ventilation helps maintain the longevity of the deck, especially in humid climates. Nurajacks guarantee not to damage sheet based waterproofing membranes.

Sustainable and environmentally friendly

As sustainability becomes a key consideration in construction and design, Nurajack decking pedestals align perfectly with eco-conscious initiatives. Nurajacks are made of 100% post consumer recycled plastic. Moreover, by using decking pedestals, you minimise the need for invasive construction practices that can harm the environment.

Easy access to concealed services

Incorporating concealed services like electrical wiring or plumbing within the decking area can be challenging. Decking pedestals like Nurajacks can offer easy access to these services by creating an accessible void beneath the deck surface. This feature ensures that maintenance or repairs can be carried out without disturbing the overall deck structure.

Longevity and durability

Nurajacks are designed to withstand the elements, providing a robust foundation for your outdoor deck. Made from UV stable polypropylene or in the case of the Nuraspike, powder coated galvanised steel, these pedestals are resistant to rust, rot, and degradation over time, ensuring a long-lasting solution for your decking needs.

Conclusion

Nurajack decking pedestals have emerged as a transformative solution for architects, designers, and property owners seeking to optimise outdoor spaces. Their versatility, easy installation, levelling capabilities, and eco-friendly attributes make them an ideal choice for decking projects of all scales. By elevating outdoor spaces with decking pedestals, we not only enhance the aesthetics and functionality of these areas but also embrace a more sustainable approach to construction. As the demand for well-designed outdoor environments continues to grow, decking pedestals will undoubtedly play a vital role in shaping the urban landscape of the future.
