    Unlocking Opportunities: The Revolutionary Impact of Wallbarn’s MegaBalance Pedestals on Outdoor Spaces

    February 28th, 2024

    Outdoor spaces provide a critical connection with nature in our increasingly urbanised world. However, the challenge of creating appealing, versatile and functional outdoor spaces in an urban setting is significant. This is where Wallbarn’s MegaBalance Pedestals assert their transformative influence.

    MegaBalance Pedestals: A Brief Overview

    In the realm of outdoor space solutions, Wallbarn’s MegaBalance Pedestals have emerged as a revolution. These heavy-duty, self-levelling, adjustable height pedestals are acing the game of paving and decking with their unmatched adaptability and strength. They offer a wide height range from 25mm to a whopping 1025mm. With each support pad capable of tolerating a weight of over 800 kg, they can even defy temperatures as low as -40°C without shattering.

    Unfolding the Benefits and Features

    MegaBalance Pedestals are a bundle of advantages. They are not only incredibly robust, made from high-quality virgin fibre polypropylene, but also offer a significant weight distribution. Their fully adjustable design, coupled with a top key system for in-situ adjustments, make them a superior choice for construction projects.

    Compatibility with Cross-rail System

    One of the salient features of these pedestals is their compatibility with the cross-rail system. This offers additional support and stability, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.

    Self-levelling and Fixed-height in the Same Pedestal

    A unique feature of MegaBalance is its ability to alternate between self-levelling and fixed-head within the same pedestal. This is possible by pressing the “grey nut” into the centre of the headpiece to lock the self-levelling mechanism.

    Sustainable and Durable

    The MegaBalance Pedestals are made from injection-moulded polypropylene, without fillers, ensuring long-term durability and performance. The plastic polymer is non-hazardous and fully recyclable, adding a sustainability quotient to the product.

    User-friendly

    MegaBalance Pedestals are designed to ensure a user-friendly experience. If any tiles start to rock or the pedestals move slightly over time after completion of the project, the unique “yellow key” or “silver key” tool can be used to slot into a slot in the centre of the headpiece and twisted to turn the stem and adjust the height of the pedestal with the slab/tile in situ.

    Applying MegaBalance Pedestals

    MegaBalance Pedestals can be efficiently utilised in a variety of settings, including paving and decking applications. They can support and position both paving slabs and tiles as well as joists and bearers for decking applications, accommodating differences in the deck surface below the pedestal.

    Paving Applications

    In paving applications, the self-levelling headpiece incorporates 4mm x 4mm wide positioning lugs (fins) integrated on the headpiece. These lugs separate paving slabs / tiles on the headpiece to allow sufficient drainage between and below slabs/tiles. This creates a uniform paving line for the slabs/tiles.

    Decking Applications

    The pedestals are equally effective in decking applications. They can be used with aluminium rail joist systems for extra stability, and surface decking can be mechanically fixed to the rail into the ribbed groove which can hold a screw fixing effectively.

    Safety and Compliance

    Wallbarn’s MegaBalance Pedestals comply with safety and compliance standards. They are classified as EUROCLASS E as per EN 13501:1:2009, ensuring their fire safety.

    Summing Up

    The MegaBalance Pedestals by Wallbarn are transforming the way we approach outdoor spaces. With their unparalleled versatility, sturdiness, and ease of use, they are setting new standards in the paving and decking industry. Whether it’s creating a rooftop garden, a patio, or a deck, these pedestals offer a robust and reliable solution that can handle heavy loads, withstand extreme temperatures, and offer a high degree of adjustability.
