    Stellar Specification

    The Mega-Balance pedestals are a marvel of modern engineering. Their self-adjusting headpiece can compensate for uneven surfaces beneath the pedestal, ensuring a balanced, level surface for your decking or paving needs.

    • Superior finishes
    • Adjustable system
    • System for on-site adjustments
    • High-grade quality
    • Compatible with a cross-rail system for added stability
    • Suitable for paving and timber decking
    • Available in heights ranging from 25mm to 1025mm

    For Paving

    The self-leveling headpiece of the Mega-Balance pedestal sports four positioning fins, arranged in a cross-like design towards the edges. This headpiece is split into four separate sections, allowing for up to 5% or 2.86° slope correction in all directions. The mechanism at the base of the headpiece enables smooth movement and placement of paving slabs.

    The fins separate the paving slabs and tiles on the headpiece to ensure adequate drainage. This creates a uniform paving line, ensuring the slabs are laid out perfectly straight. A rubber anti-shock pad fits over the headpiece via a series of ridges, providing a better grip for the slab and reducing vibration and noise.

    For Decking

    For decking, the positioning fins on the headpiece are set out towards the edges, leaving a 55mm gap to accommodate a timber joist. The decking boards are then affixed to the timber joist frame. The pedestal’s height can be easily adjusted, eliminating the need for cutting furrings. Thanks to the auto-correcting head, installing decking systems is faster than traditional methods.

    Cross-Rail System

    The Mega-Balance pedestals are compatible with Wallbarn’s cross-rail system, providing additional stability for both paving and decking.

    Clip Head for Rail System

    The Mega-Balance pedestals are compatible with Wallbarn’s cross-rail system, offering added stability for both paving and decking projects. The pedestals can be used to connect two separate rails, improving stability and weight distribution across the deck.

    Mega-Balance Height Adjustment

    Aluminium Rails

    The Mega-Balance pedestals can be connected to extruded Aluminium Rails without any need for mechanical fixings. These rails are made from high-quality aluminium grade 6063T6 and offer seamless connection. They clip onto the Mega-Balance headpieces and offer a raft-like structure for heavyweight support.

    The rail system provides greater stability across the terrace area and significantly speeds up installation. Installers can measure the pedestals at each end of the aluminium rail to get the level, then place the intermediate pedestals under the rail and adjust them until they reach the desired height.

    Benefits of Using Mega-Balance Pedestals

    • Seamless connection, no need for mechanical fixings
    • High-quality extruded aluminium grade 6063T6 to BS EN 755-9
    • Special outer ledged profile for seamless connection
    • Clip onto Mega Balance headpieces without the need for screws
    • 60mm wide bar top and bottom for optimum weight distribution and sufficient surface area for fixing
    • The rail helps to “tie together” the pedestals, giving more stability across the upper surface
    • Modular system with three different rail heights for a variety of build-ups

    Ideal for Various Projects

    The Mega-Balance pedestals are versatile and suitable for a wide range of projects, including residential and commercial decking and paving. With their superior quality and innovative design, they provide a solid foundation for your outdoor spaces.

    Conclusion

    Wallbarn’s Mega-Balance pedestals are a breakthrough in modern construction, offering unparalleled support, adjustability, and quality for paving and decking projects. Whether you’re a professional contractor or a DIY enthusiast, these pedestals are a must-have for your next outdoor project.
