Adjustable Deck Supports – Archatrak ‘NM’ Series

Heavy duty, fixed head, adjustable height paver supports with bicomponent head for superior noise reduction and slip resistance.

With a wide central column and base, Archatrak ‘NM’ series adjustable deck supports offer higher load capacity and greater stability than supports with smaller diameter columns, especially when laying pavers at heights above approx. 16”. A single piece head with a rubber surface and inbuilt spacer tabs ensures superior noise reduction and slip resistance.

In contrast with our ‘SE’ series adjustable deck pedestals which feature a self-levelling head for slope adjustment, ‘NM’ pedestals are a lower cost, fixed head design which use add-in head mounted twist rings to provide variable slope compensation, each ring providing compensation up to 1%.

Five sizes of pedestals cover the range from 1” to 10 5/8”. Extension elements can be added to the NM5 pedestal to extend the workable height to over 39″.

A top entry height adjustment tool enables quick height adjustment even after the deck has been fully installed.

The wide 8″ dia. base has score marks to facilitate the removal of segments on the deck supports that are used around the perimeter wall of a deck which need to be positioned as close to the wall as possible.
