‘StreetDeck’ Components
Perimeter Components
Straight perimeter beams in 24″, 36″ and 48″ lengths Perimeter corners Internal cross beams Cross bean connectors Connecting links and bolts
Using connecting links, the perimeter beams and corners are bolted together to form the StreetDeck outer perimeter.
Pedestals positioned every 24″ are placed under the perimeter beams and adjusted as required to level the deck frame.
Cross beams are used to help square and structurally support the deck and to attach planter mounting brackets.
Pedestal Supports
With the perimeter components connected, elevated and leveled on pedestals, and squared, the porcelain deck pavers or wood tiles can be laid on adjustable pedestals.
We normally supply either Uptec or Eterno self-leveling pedestal supports primarily due to their ease of installation and ability to make adjustments to the height of the deck after installation via a special tool inserted in the head of the pedestals.
The pedestal head automatically tilts to accommodate a substrate sloping up to 5%, and features a sound absorbing rubber layer and inbuilt spacer tabs which ensure accurate spacing of pavers across the deck.
For most installations, only the ETE-SE1 (1 1/2” – 2″ height range) up to ETE-SE4 (4 3/4” – 6 3/4” height range) pedestals will be required, but pedestal heights up to 39” can be supplied by adding extension elements between the pedestal base and central column.
Deck Surface
StreetDeck is designed to use 24″ x 24″ pavers or tiles for the deck surface. We recommend 3/4″ thick porcelain pavers, which are stain-resistant, scratch resistant, exceptionally low maintenance and available in over 60 colors (see color options here) from the Archatrak range, in styles including wood, stone, cement, terrazzo and rustic.
Alternately, for a natural wood look, we can supply 24″ x 24″ South American Ipe hardwood tiles.
Planters Ramps Railings and Seating
We offer a range of integrated components for a totally co-ordinated design including access ramps, planters, railings and wood bench seating. Options for railings/fence panels include powder coated steel, aluminum, laser cut steel or stainless steel wire.
And we now supply a range of solar seating which incorporates phone charging, WiFi connectivity, and ambient lighting, such as the iBench solar bench which is available in a Mini version with 1 PV panel and measures just 26 ¾” L x 18 ¾” W x 21 ½”H, ideal for the limited space on a Parklet.
However, you can also use 3rd party components for greater customization and individualization, subject to any regulations or requirements on heights, materials and resistance to sideways force, in particular.
