📅 By Kegret | Outdoor Construction Experts
When building a garden deck, terrace or rooftop patio, choosing the right decking support isn't just a matter of stability — it's the secret to a smooth, safe, and long-lasting structure. At Kegret, we supply a full range of decking base supports and elevation systems trusted by professionals across the UK.
🔧 The Foundation of Strength: Types of Decking Supports
Let’s explore the wide spectrum of modern support for decking available today:
- Plastic deck supports – Lightweight yet durable, perfect for residential builds.
- Decking support pads – Designed for quick placement on uneven surfaces.
- Deck post support – Adds vertical strength and stability to timber or composite structures.
- Adjustable deck risers – Ideal for uneven ground or rooftop decks.
🟩 Pro Tip: For composite materials, opt for composite decking pedestals to match durability and thermal expansion.
📏 Precision Leveling with Adjustable Systems
One of the most critical factors in deck installation is levelling. Enter:
- Adjustable deck supports
- Adjustable decking risers
- Decking leveling feet
- Adjustable supports for decking
These systems allow precise height adjustment and make elevated decking a breeze, even on sloped ground. They also simplify access for drainage systems or electrical wiring underneath.
🧱 Supporting the Joists and Frames
The decking joist support system forms the core of any deck. Use:
- Deck joist supports
- Decking frame supports
- Support pads for decking
Combined with decking levellers, they help ensure consistent alignment and prevent wood warping over time.
Fun Fact: Many UK installers prefer plastic decking supports and decking adjustable risers due to their easy installation and resistance to weathering.
