Cut Pipe Paver Support System
Unlike the screwed column type of pedestals such as our Prime series, ProSupport pedestals use precut lengths of HDPE pipe fitted between a polypropylene base section and the head components. The entire system consists of just six components (plus cut lengths of pipe) which can cover a height range from 1 3/8″ to as high as 39″.
‘ProSupport’ pedestals are particularly useful for high elevation decks where a solid pipe may offer greater stability compared with screwed columns fitted with multiple extension elements and where the incremental cost of increasing the height beyond 2 7/8” is determined only by the length of pipe used.
At the lowest elevations from 1 3/8” – 2 7/8” where it is impractical to use a cut pipe, two sizes of screw adjustable pedestals are used to provide continuous height adjustment. Above 2 7/8”, sections of cut HDPE pipe are used in combination with a short, screwed adjustment column, which permits height adjustment of up to 1 ½” as well as micro adjustment even after installation, by inserting a special tool into the head of the pedestal. This screwed column also has the unique advantage of being able to switch from a fixed head configuration to a self-levelling head providing up to 5% compensation simply by flipping the column – no extra components needed.
The plastic head has inbuilt spacers tabs which are snapped off when not required. For enhanced noise reduction and slip resistance, a 1/16” rubber shim is normally added to the head.
Key Benefits of 'ProSupport' Paver Supports






Technical Details
The ‘ProSupport’ system uses just 6 components plus lengths of HDPE pipe – wide support base, 20mm and 40mm high screwed adjustment columns, collar, pedestal head, rubber shim.
The pipe is available in lengths up to 106” but will normally be shipped in shorter sections for ease of transport.
We use HDPE pipe in preference to PVC pipe for consistency with the other components.
The ProSupport paver support system is covered by a 5 year warranty in respect of defects in material and workmanship.
‘ProSupport’ pedestals have been tested by an independent laboratory which showed that with the top threaded column screwed to one thread only, a maximum compressive force of 3130 lb was achieved before failure.
