Level.Up Adjustable Deck Joist Support System

Bison Innovative Products, in collaboration with DAP Global Inc., has launched its Level.Up Adjustable Deck Pedestal Joist Support System as a method to eliminate the need to dig, pour and level concrete footers and posts for ground-level decks. The Level.Up Pedestal System consists of four components that nest together to support a deck’s joist substructure. According to the manufacturer, the telescoping adjustable pedestal can be raised or lowered by hand to adjust for height. Each deck pedestal can adjust from 2 1/2″ to 5 1/2″ in height. The pedestals can also be adjusted to compensate for up to a maximum of 8% ground slope on compact or solid surfaces by using the Slope Leveler component. One Slope Leveler compensates for up to 2% slope (1/4-inch per foot) and up to four Slope Levelers can be stacked under each Pedestal. The system attaches to wood joists and can reportedly be installed over existing stable concrete slabs or pavers, without the need to demolish and remove them, as well as over compact soil or gravel. www.level-updecking.com
