Adjustable Pedestals for Paving and Decking

Wallbarn supplies the largest range of pedestals in the UK for a wide variety of applications, from simple paving installations to high-end terrace and podium deck systems. Whether you require cost-effective solutions or advanced adjustable systems, Wallbarn offers a comprehensive selection of fixed height pedestals and fully adjustable systems designed to meet modern construction demands.

From straightforward support pads to precision-engineered systems such as Balance self-levelling pedestals, every product is developed to deliver strength, reliability and long-term performance.

A Complete Range of Pedestal Solutions

Wallbarn’s pedestal systems are designed to suit a wide range of project requirements. For simple paving and decking applications, fixed height pedestals provide a cost-effective and practical solution.

For more advanced installations, adjustable systems such as the Universal pedestal range and Balance pedestals offer increased flexibility, allowing installers to achieve precise levels across complex surfaces.

For projects with restricted build-up heights, Minipad pedestals provide an ultra-low height adjustable solution, making them ideal for refurbishment work and tight threshold conditions.

Wide Height Range for Maximum Flexibility

Adjustable pedestals are available in a broad height range, from as low as 10mm up to 1020mm. Systems such as the Universal pedestal range allow paving slabs or joists to be suspended above the waterproofed deck.

This creates a void beneath the surface, enabling water to drain freely between and below the slabs. As a result, the risk of standing water and localised flooding is significantly reduced.

The elevated structure also improves airflow beneath the deck, helping to maintain the integrity of the waterproofing system.

Designed for Drainage, Ventilation and Precision

By using adjustable systems such as Balance pedestals or self-levelling heavy duty pedestals, installers can easily compensate for falls and uneven surfaces.

The ability to twist and adjust the pedestal stems allows a completely level upper surface to be created, even on roofs designed with a slope for drainage.

This ensures:

• Effective water runoff
• Improved ventilation beneath the deck
• A clean, level and professional finish

A Non-Invasive, Loose Lay System

Wallbarn pedestal systems operate as a loose lay solution, meaning the weight of the paving slabs or decking boards holds the system securely in place. There is no requirement for mechanical fixings into the waterproofed surface.

This approach helps to:

• Protect the integrity of the membrane
• Reduce installation time
• Allow easy access for future maintenance

To further enhance installation and performance, a full range of pedestal accessories is available, ensuring every detail of the system can be tailored to the project.

Versatility Across Paving and Decking Applications

The Universal pedestal system is specifically designed to support both paving slabs and decking joists from the same headpiece. This versatility makes it an ideal solution for mixed-surface terraces and complex outdoor spaces.

For high-end finishes, Balance self-levelling pedestals automatically adjust at the head to accommodate imperfections in the substrate, such as uneven concrete or felt laps. This ensures a perfectly flat and visually refined surface.

Built for Strength and Heavy Loads

For projects requiring enhanced load-bearing capacity, self-levelling heavy duty pedestals provide exceptional strength.

Heavy-duty Megapads can tolerate loads of over 2 tonnes per unit, making them suitable for:

• High-traffic areas
• Commercial terraces
• Podium decks with planters and outdoor furniture
• Public access spaces

This robust performance ensures long-term reliability even in demanding environments.

Ideal for Refurbishment and Low Thresholds

Where height restrictions are a concern, Minipad pedestals offer an ultra-low height adjustable solution.

These systems are particularly effective for refurbishment projects, balconies and terraces where build-up space is limited but a level finish is still essential.

Fire Safety and Compliance

Wallbarn also offers Class A1 non-combustible adjustable pedestals suitable for balconies and high-rise developments. These systems are fully compliant with BS 8579, ensuring they meet the latest UK fire safety standards.

By combining safety compliance with design flexibility, Wallbarn pedestal systems provide a futureproof solution for modern construction projects.
