Environmentally Friendly
Bison™ Versadjust© pedestals are made with 20% post-industrial recycled content and are 100% recyclable.

Low Height Installations

Use Model LO pedestal for adjustability from 1 ¼" - 2" or fixed height pedestals for heights from 1/8" - 1 ¼".

Easy Leveling

Every Versadjust© adjustable pedestal (Model V1, V2, V3, & V4) contains built-in base leveling that can compensate for up to ½" per foot slope variations. Additional slope compensation can be added using the LD4 Base Levelers. The Bison™ Base Leveling system keeps the pedestal in a stable vertical position rather than sitting at an angle.

Versatile

Versadjust© deck supports elevate pavers, decking, dimensional cut stone or grating materials over almost any substrate. Use them over any structural surface on rooftops, balconies, terraces, even water features.

Adjustable

Versadjust© adjustable pedestals with built-in base slope compensation reach heights from 2 ¼" - 24". The patented design allows precise vertical adjustment with a simple turn of the wrist.

Strong

Constructed of high density polypropylene, Versadjust© deck supports have a broad 8" diameter footprint for stability and strength. Each pedestal can support up to 1,500 lbs. with a design factor of safety of 2.

 
Quick Clip Couplers
(Model VC2) For heights over 9 ¾", Versadjust© pedestals use the patent pending Quick-clip© couplers technology that saves time screwing couplers together and creates a stronger pedestal support at heights over 9 ¾".

Thread Engagement

All Bison™ pedestals now contain thread engagement indicator bumps that warn the user when the pedestal is over-extended.

Tough
Versadjust© pedestals are impervious to water, mold and freeze-thaw cycles.

Labor Savings
Comparative analysis shows that other pedestal systems require up to four man hours vs. one man hour for installation of Bison™ Versadjust© Deck Supports. Time is money - the labor savings realized by using Versadjust© pedestals is significant.

Superior Drainage

Spacer tabs ensure accurate spacing, and allow water to drain to the surface below. Versadjust© spacer tabs can be easily and inexpensively replaced, if needed.

Easy Access to Surface Below for Maintenance
Unlike some competitor's products, pavers installed with Bison™ Deck Supports can be lifted for routine maintenance and easily replaced.

Works with traditional wood stringers
Bison™ Versadjust© pedestals can also be installed using traditional joist and plank installation.

Estimating Your Pedestal Quantity

Bison Versadjust adjustable pedestal supports elevated natural stone paver


Decks can be designed to any layout configuration. The number of pedestals required is directly proportional to the number of tiles or pavers utilized. Therefore we recommend that you determine the number of pavers needed first. 
Once the number of pavers has been established, the following formula will give an estimate of approximately how many pedestals will be needed:


 
 
1.  Count total number of pavers

2.  Count the number of pavers around the entire perimeter and divide by 2.  Add the result to the total number of pavers from step 1.

3.  Multiply your new total by 5% and round up.  Add that number to get your total amount of pedestals needed.

 
Use the plan below as an example:

 
Layout for Bison adjustable pedestal estimate
EXAMPLE


1. Total number of Pavers:  46

2. Number of Perimeter Pavers (26) divided by 2 = 13
(13 + 46 = 59)

3. Calculate 5% of your new figure (59) and round up:  3



Add together for a total number of pedestals required:  62
