Quick and Easy Pedestal Deck Install

Some jobs just come together. A recent deck build over a membrane surface is a good example of the Anchorjak Aluframe joist system doing exactly what it's designed to do: go down fast, sit light on the membrane, and give a clean, level result without the cost of the fancier systems out there.

The surface was a waterproof membrane, which rules out anything that wants to be fixed or penetrated through the top. That's where pedestal systems earn their keep. The Anchorjaks sit on the membrane and carry the load, so the waterproofing stays untouched and intact underneath.

From there it was straightforward. We ran 30/50 aluminium joists across the Anchorjak pedestals to build up a solid, level frame, then screwed the timber decking straight off the framing. The aluminium joists keep everything true and won't twist or rot the way timber framing can, so the deck stays flat for the long haul.

Best part for the homeowner? A level threshold into the house, so there's no step or lip where the deck meets the door. Clean, flush, and easy underfoot. And because the Aluframe system does all that without the price tag of the premium pedestal setups, it's an affordable way to get a professional, membrane-safe deck that lasts.

Quick to install, kind to the membrane, level where it counts, and easy on the budget. That's the Anchorjak Aluframe system doing its thing.
