The best pedestals, compared.
Top pick: Jevervd 30–60 mm decking pedestals, 24 pack Best value: UGEBROGH 30–60 mm deck pedestals, 24 pack – About £43.99 for 24 pieces of 30–60 mm, about £1.83 each, score 83 and 4.5 from 11 reviews, when a ten-pack would run out. Updated 23 October 2026.
A pedestal is a screw-adjustable plastic support that holds a timber, composite, WPC or aluminium joist off a hard base so the frame can be levelled. You buy pedestals in the UK for a low garden deck or a timber shed floor on paving or a concrete pad. You tell a suitable one by the height band it can reach, a cradle that fits the joist, and a collar that stays put. Measure the void from the hard base to the underside of the joist at the high spot and the low spot. A low band is about 18–30 mm, a mid band about 30–60 mm, and a taller band about 60–140 mm. The taller band does not wind down into the shorter range. No listing here states a self-levelling head. In England a raised platform is over 30 cm above ground once you add the joist and the board. Scotland uses a 0.5 m floor limit, and Wales has its own 30 cm test. Band, cradle and pack size are set out in the [pedestal buying guide](/hub/diy-supplies/pedestals/sub/pedestals-buying-guide).

Question 1 of 2
What void have you measured under the joist?
Jevervd is a 24-pack of 30–60 mm polypropylene pedestals at £55.99, and it is the only row in this set whose included-components line names screws. Amazon shows 5.0 from three reviews, each one sentence, dated 24 and 27 September 2026, mentioning joist types, ventilation and levelling. That is not a multi-year record of a deck left outside. No weight figure is printed, and the load question on the listing is only a prompt. The material bullet says UV-resistant and insect-resistant polypropylene. At about £2.33 each it costs more than the Ceta ten-pack and the UGEBROGH 24-pack for the same 30–60 mm band. It is the pack to choose when you want screws in the box and twenty-four feet, and the three-line sample is the limit of what you can read.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want 24 feet in the 30–60 mm band and you would rather have screws listed than a large review file.
Less suitable: You want a deep UK review sample, a lower unit price, or a 60–140 mm gap.
Specifications
Common questions
Are screws included?
Yes. Included components on this listing say screws. Several other packs in the set do not list screws.
What does 5.0 from 3 reviews mean here?
The saved listing has three UK reviews, each one sentence, dated 24 and 27 September 2026. They mention joist types, ventilation and levelling. They are not a multi-year install record.
Is a weight given?
No. “How much weight can it support?” appears only as a question prompt. The material bullet says UV-resistant and insect-resistant polypropylene.
The NBYTLT 25-pack is the only listing in this set that states an 18–28 mm screw range, at £39.99, so it only closes a gap of about a centimetre under a joist that already sits close to the slab. Amazon shows 5.0 from two reviews, and both UK texts praise the adjustment without describing a fault. That is a sample of two, not a season of use on a deck. The bullets say tool-free installation and also say you screw the head to the joist through pre-drilled holes, and screws are not listed in the box. No load figure is printed. Anti-slip pads are named on a fixed head. It is the pack to open when the measured void really is 18–28 mm, at about £1.60 each, and it will not wind up into a 30–60 mm or 60–140 mm gap.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have measured 18–28 mm under the joist and you want 25 short feet rather than a taller band.
Less suitable: You need 30 mm or more of adjustment, a written load figure, or more than two UK reviews.
Specifications
Common questions
How far do these NBYTLT pedestals adjust?
The listing states 18–28 mm by a screw ring. That is the shortest band in this set. It will not cover a 60–140 mm gap.
Are they tool-free?
The bullet says tool-free installation and also says you screw the head to the joist through pre-drilled holes. Screws are not listed in the included components. Anti-slip pads are named.
What do the two reviews say?
The listing line is 5.0 from 2 reviews. Both UK reviews in the saved listing praise the adjustment. Neither describes a fault. That is a sample of two, not a long-term record.
The Ceta pack of ten is listed at £23.99 with a title range of 30–60 mm in recycled polypropylene, which is the band the shed and paving jobs in this set actually describe. Amazon shows 4.6 from 211 reviews, and the same star line and many of the same texts also sit on the 60–140 mm Ceta ASIN, so this is one shared corpus rather than 422 separate opinions. A UK review says a fixing tab can snap if you drop the unit, and another says the head suits about 45 mm timber and will not centre a much wider joist. You set the top collar before you screw, then fine-tune the bottom. Screws are not in the included-components line. The bullets also name 18–30 mm and 60–135 mm, so the title is the variant, not a promise that three bands are in the box. The seller’s 1,662 kg/m² line assumes at least six to eight supports per square metre and is not a British Standard report. It is the top pick in this set when your gap is 30–60 mm and you want the deepest review text at the lowest ten-pack price.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Your measured gap is 30–60 mm and you want the top pick on review depth at £23.99, knowing the review file is shared.
Less suitable: You need a 60–140 mm void, screws in the box, or a joist much wider than about 45 mm.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this the 30–60 mm Ceta pack?
The title ends in (30-60) and a bullet says 30 mm–60 mm, pack of 10. The same bullets also list 18–30 mm, 30–60 mm and 60–135 mm. The model field is China 60-140. Use the pack line, and do not assume all three bands are in the box.
Are the 211 reviews only for this height?
This ASIN and B0BLXWJTTG both show 4.6 from 211 reviews, and many of the same UK review texts appear in both saved listings. Treat that as one shared corpus.
Do UK reviews mention a fitting problem?
Yes. A fixing tab can snap if the unit is dropped. The head is described as best for about 45 mm timber. One review says you set the top collar before screwing, then fine-tune the bottom. Screws are not in the included-components line.
The Ceta ten-pack at £33.99 is the title variant that states 60–140 mm, in recycled polypropylene, for a void the 30–60 mm packs cannot reach. Amazon shows the same 4.6 from 211 reviews as the shorter Ceta ASIN, with the same best-seller line and many of the same texts, so the two counts are not added together. The material field reads 60mm-135mm and the bullets still list 18–30 mm and 30–60 mm, which clashes with the title. Reviewers describe a shed on an uneven concrete pad at about 300 mm spacing, an 11×7 shed base, and planters lifted off wet concrete. One review says a fixing tab snaps if the unit is dropped, and that about 45 mm timber suits the head. Screws are not listed. A 140 mm pedestal plus joist and board can push a finished floor through England’s 30 cm planning line. It is the taller Ceta pack when the measured gap sits inside 60–140 mm, and it is the wrong box if the void is only 40 mm.
Pros
Cons
Best for: The void under the joist is between 60 and 140 mm and you accept the shared Ceta review file.
Less suitable: Your gap is under 60 mm, or you need a pack with its own separate review history.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the box 60–140 mm?
The title says 60–140 mm. Bullets also list 18–30 mm, 30–60 mm and 60–135 mm, and the material field reads 60mm-135mm. The model is China 60-140. The title is the variant name; the bullets name more than one band.
Why is the star line the same as the 30–60 mm Ceta ASIN?
B0C19T2GCQ shows the same 4.6 from 211, the same best-seller line, and many of the same review texts. Do not add the two counts together.
What did reviewers actually support?
A shed on an uneven concrete pad at about 300 mm spacing, an 11x7 shed base, and planters lifted off wet concrete. One review says a fixing tab snaps if you drop the unit, and that about 45 mm timber suits the head.
BURMONG is a 24-pack of 30–60 mm PP pedestals at £79.99, the highest shelf price in this set, with a seller bullet of up to 480 kg per pedestal. Amazon shows 4.5 from 36 reviews, which is the largest count here after the shared Ceta file. UK texts mention a shed, uneven ground, and one 5×5 m deck with no issues so far. Other reviews say the adjustment is limited, that they are not very sturdy, or that the product is weak. The saved listing does not include a British Standard test for the 480 kg line, so that figure stays a seller claim. Screws are not listed, and the install bullet tells you to screw into the keel. It is a poor buy if you are paying about £36 more than the UGEBROGH 24-pack only for an untested kilogram line.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 30–60 mm 24-pack with more than a handful of reviews and you have already decided the 480 kg line is not why you are paying.
Less suitable: You are choosing it because 480 kg sounds like a hot-tub rating, or you want the lower 24-pack price.
Specifications
Common questions
Where does 480 kg come from?
It is the seller’s bullet: up to 480 kg (1,058 lb) per pedestal. The saved listing does not include a British Standard test report for that figure.
What height are they?
30–60 mm by a screw ring. One UK review says the adjustment is limited. Another says to check the height you need before buying.
What do UK reviews report in use?
Reviews mention a shed, uneven ground, and one 5x5 m deck with no issues so far. One review says they are not very sturdy. One says the product is weak. Screws are not listed in the box; the install bullet tells you to screw into the keel.
UGEBROGH lists twenty-four 30–60 mm polypropylene pedestals at £43.99, about £1.83 each, for a low gap under a joist the listing names as 2x4 and 2x6. Amazon shows 4.5 from 11 reviews. Several UK texts praise the collar on paving or a slab, and one says they are not as heavy duty as hoped and still acceptable. No numeric load is printed. The title says 24, while the included-components line reads 12/24, so the carton count is not clean on the page. Screws are not listed, and a review mentions an L wing on a fixed head. It is the best value here when you need a 30–60 mm band in a 24-pack and you accept a short review file next to Ceta’s shared 211.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You need more than ten 30–60 mm feet and you want the best value per piece among the packs with a readable review file.
Less suitable: You need 60–140 mm, a stated load, or the deepest review sample in the set.
Specifications
Common questions
What height do they cover?
The listing states 30–60 mm, also written as 1-3/16 in to 2-3/8 in. Reviews call that useful where clearance is low. It is not a 60–140 mm pedestal.
Is the carton definitely 24?
The title and unit count say 24. The included-components line reads 12/24*Decking Pedestal Adjustable. Both are in the saved listing. The file does not say which count arrived.
Do reviewers call them heavy duty?
Several UK reviews praise the collar and use on paving or a slab. One says they are not as heavy duty as hoped, and still acceptable. No numeric load is in the listing.
Nicoman lists ten plastic pedestals at £34.99 with a title range of 60–140 mm. Amazon shows 4.2 from 26 reviews, the lowest star line among the packs that have a written sample. One UK review says only the bottom half adjusted and the top half did not, so the pack was returned as the wrong size. Another says they do not stay at the level you set. Reviews that kept them mention a shed base, a small deck that stayed level, and summerhouse roof side wings, and one calls the plastic hard and cheap. No numeric load is given, and screws are not stated. The seller text names rooftops, terraces, patios and balconies, which these listings do not document as a membrane specification. It is a 60–140 mm pack to consider only after you have read the return about a head that would not turn.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You need 60–140 mm, you have read the adjustment returns, and £34.99 matches the other tall ten-packs.
Less suitable: You need a collar that reviewers say holds its height, or a rooftop membrane job these listings do not specify.
Specifications
Common questions
What height is this Nicoman pack?
The title says 60–140 mm, pack of 10, at £34.99. Bullets say other height ranges exist. This ASIN’s title is the 60–140 mm pack. No numeric load is given.
Why did one buyer return them?
One UK review says only the bottom half adjusted and the top half did not, so the pack was the wrong size and was returned. Another says they do not stay at the level you set.
Where have reviewers used them?
Reviews mention a shed base, a small deck that stayed level, and summerhouse roof side wings after a veranda was removed. One review calls the plastic hard and cheap. The seller text names rooftops, terraces, patios and balconies.
Vpukveer is ten black pedestals at £34.99, with the title and size field stating 60–140 mm and the model number stating 60–135 mm. The saved listing has no customer-review line and no review text, so there is no amazon.co.uk star sample to read. No load figure is given, and the weight question is only a prompt. Screws are not in the included components, although the install bullet still tells you to secure the joists with screws. Listed uses are decking kits, shed bases, patios and gardens. At £1 more than the Ceta 60–140 mm ten-pack, you are paying a similar shelf price with none of the written UK record. It is a 60–140 mm option only if you will buy without reviews.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already know you need about 60–140 mm and you will accept a listing with no UK review text.
Less suitable: You want to read how a collar behaves before you pay, or you need screws in the box.
Specifications
Common questions
Is there a UK star rating in the saved listing?
No. There is no customer-reviews line and no review text. The price is £34.99 for 10.
Do they state a load?
No. “How much weight will each pedestal support?” is only a question prompt. Composite decking and balconies are question prompts too, not answered specs.
What height is printed?
The title and size field say 60–140 mm. The model number says 60–135 mm. Screws are not in the included components. The install bullet tells you to secure joists with screws.
Shelf prices, stars and review notes are the amazon.co.uk snapshot already stored for these eight listings, dated 21 October 2026. This is not a laboratory load test, and it is not a British Standard rank. The score starts from the star line. Review depth then moves it: a sample of two or three loses a large slice, and the two Ceta packs share one review file, so that file is counted once. A clash between the title and the bullets, or a 12/24 carton line, takes a small cut. Screws named in the box are a small lift. A complaint that a collar failed or the plastic felt weak takes a cut. Price is a check for best value, not a second score.
Star line
50%The amazon.co.uk star line is the starting point, scaled so a 4.6 becomes 92. A missing review line does not become 100.
Review depth
25%Two or three reviews lose a large slice. Eleven lose a smaller slice. The two Ceta packs share one review file, so that file is counted once.
Listing clarity
10%A small cut applies when bullets name three height bands on one title, a model line disagrees with the title, or a carton line says 12/24.
Review complaints
10%A review that describes a collar that will not turn, a return, or a weak foot takes a cut. Nicoman’s return and BURMONG’s weak-plastic notes are in that group.
Screws in the box
5%Screws named in the box are a small lift. A listing that tells you to screw the joist and does not list screws takes a small cut. Price is not part of this score.
You are choosing a screw pedestal for a low deck or a shed floor on a hard base. The eight amazon.co.uk listings in this set are fixed-head plastic supports, not slab heads and not roof pedestals. Shelf prices run from about £23.99 to about £79.99. The top pick is the Ceta 30–60 mm ten-pack at about £23.99 when the gap is that band and you want the deepest review text, with the shared-review limit stated. Best value is the UGEBROGH 24-pack at about £43.99 when ten pieces would run out.
A pedestal in this comparison is a fixed-head screw support in plastic, with a collar and a joist cradle. It holds a timber, composite, WPC or aluminium joist off paving or a concrete pad so the frame can be levelled and can drain. UK buyers are mostly fitting a low garden deck or a timber shed floor. A roof membrane, a hot tub and a house-tied deck are different jobs, and these listings do not document those uses.
A 30–60 mm collar does not become a 60–140 mm pedestal, and a taller pack does not wind down to 30 mm. If the bullets list three ranges, use the title range. Add the joist and the board before you judge the 30 cm line in England.
Both Ceta packs show 4.6 from 211 reviews, and much of the same text appears in both files. That is one corpus. A 5.0 from two or three reviews is a thinner sample than 11 or 26 written reviews.
Set the collar, then screw the joist, then fine-tune. Most packs do not list screws. Only the listing that names screws should be treated as supplying them. A tool-free line that also describes screw fixing is a clash, not a promise.
The first check is the void, in millimetres, from the hard base to the underside of the joist, at the high spot and the low spot. Bands in this set are about 18–28 mm, 30–60 mm and 60–140 mm. A taller pack does not wind down into the shorter band. If the bullets list three ranges on one title, use the title range. Finished floor height is that pedestal plus the joist and the board. In England, GPDO 2015 treats a raised platform over 0.3 m as outside the ordinary allowance.
The cradle has to match the joist. A review on a mid-height pack says the head suits about 45 mm timber and will not centre a much wider joist. A trade universal head is described as about 55 mm for a 4x2. None of these listings says the head is self-levelling. Piece count is the next check. Packs of ten run out: one reviewer needed 12 supports for an 11x7 shed base. A 24-pack of 30–60 mm avoids that shortfall on a small shed, and the unit price is why one of those packs is best value.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You have measured 30–60 mm under a joist on a slab or paving, and you want the deepest review text. The Ceta ten-pack is the top pick at about £23.99, score 86, with 4.6 from 211 reviews shared with the taller Ceta pack. Screws are not listed. Reviewers describe a head that suits about 45 mm timber.
You need a 30–60 mm band and a ten-pack would run out. UGEBROGH is best value at about £43.99 for 24 pieces, about £1.83 each, score 83, with 4.5 from 11 reviews. The included-components line also says 12/24. It is not a heavier-duty test than the Ceta ten-pack.
The gap is 60–140 mm, so a 30–60 mm pack will not reach it. The taller Ceta ten-pack is about £33.99, score 82, on the same shared review file. It will not wind down to 30 mm. Nicoman sits in the same shelf band with its own 26 reviews, including a return about a head that would not turn.
The top pick is the Ceta 30–60 mm ten-pack at about £23.99. It scores 86, the highest in this set, with 4.6 from 211 reviews that are shared with the taller Ceta listing, so that file is one corpus. Screws are not listed, and the bullets name more than one height band. Best value is the UGEBROGH 24-pack at about £43.99, about £1.83 each, score 83, with 4.5 from 11 reviews, when a ten-pack would run out. It is not a heavier-duty test than Ceta. The 5.0 rows sit on two and three reviews and do not outrank that file.
UGEBROGH 30–60 mm deck pedestals, 24 pack
About £43.99 for 24 pieces of 30–60 mm, about £1.83 each, score 83 and 4.5 from 11 reviews, when a ten-pack would run out.
