Deck construction and landscaping our expe especi rtise ally fo r you Proper surface for adjustable pedestals If you want to build/create a viable and permanently reliable terrace, the condition of the subsurface significantly contributes to the success of the project and should therefore be prepared carefully in advance. If no foundations are available, we recommend to use adjustable pedestals. For a properly designed terrace construction, a load-bearing substrate made of gravel, split or floor slabs is required. These can absorb arising loads in the soil. Before the substructure made of aluminium profiles or support beams are laid. • A supporting structure is required. Appropriate preparations must be made for loose subsurface. • Stake out the planned area and remove any natural soil, such as turf, rocks and weeds. • Remove the top layer of soil that contains humus and soil-dwelling organisms in addition to inorganic substances. • If the topsoil is removed, dig out a 20 - 30 cm deep bed. Fill with crushed gravel or chippings and compact each layer separately to ensure a stable substrate. • Here, too, a gradient of 1 - 2% to the garden should be considered. 14 • Pure sands and gravels are not recommended as they are not based on the displacement of the individual grains. • Lay concrete slabs of approx. 30 x 30 cm at the same distance as the foundation. • If there is risk of impact vibration on the decking, the decking pedestals should be secured in place. In addition, decking pedestals that are frequently subject to stresses should be secured by screws to avoid twisting. Please note that the mentioned processing instructions are only recommendations and are not binding installation instructions. Each assembly has different requirements, for which the executing company is responsible. In order to determine the strength of the superstructure, it is important to determine the expected load on the terrace. Thus, paths with no vehicle traffic do not require a supporting layer, or you can choose to use one with a very low strength (10 - 20 cm). Stronger layers are required for busy paths.
