Boarding and edge profiles for raised terraces

Would you like a neat finish for your tile terrace?

The edges of a terrace on terrace pedestals can be finished in various ways. If you'd like to use the same tiles for the finishing, SOLIDOR offers a range of accessories specifically designed for edge finishing.

Prefer a sleek and elegant finish with profiles? Then the SIDESOL finishing profiles from SOLIDOR are the perfect solution.

How do you ensure the stability of a wooden deck on terrace pedestals?

The stability of a deck starts with proper alignment and following the correct installation guidelines. It’s important to choose the right joists, whether wooden or aluminium. The spacing between the deck pedestals and the joists must match the dimensions of the decking material and the load the deck will need to support. As a standard, pedestals are placed every 45 cm.
In addition, a well-prepared surface, a level base, and selecting the correct starting point are key to building a strong and durable structure. Adjustable pedestals help compensate for uneven ground, ensuring a stable foundation.
If you prefer using aluminium profiles instead of wooden joists, we offer the Deqsol range. This aluminium support system can be combined with three different types of deck pedestals (see above), so you can always choose the ideal support for your decking project.

What is the maximum load capacity of a terrace pedestal?

All SOLIDOR pedestals from the Comfort and Premium ranges are designed to support heavy loads — up to 2,400 kg/m². The Firesol pedestals can handle even more: up to 3,000 kg/m².

This high strength makes it easy to install wooden decks that support garden furniture, jacuzzis, or other heavy elements, as long as the correct spacing between pedestals and joists is respected. For larger decks or public spaces, we recommend the Comfort or Firesol range for maximum long-term stability.

What is the recommended spacing between terrace pedestals for a wooden deck?

The spacing between terrace pedestals depends directly on the type and dimensions of the joists. For traditional wooden joists, a spacing of 40 to 60 cm is generally recommended. For aluminium joists or slimmer profiles, a shorter distance may be required.

The closer the pedestals are placed, the more stable the structure will be. Likewise, a consistent spacing between the joists themselves (typically around 40 cm) is needed to provide proper support for the decking boards.
