Estimatimg the amount of pedestals required for your job
|
|
Decks can be designed to any layout configuration. The number of pedestals required is directly proportional to the number of tiles or pavers utilized. Therefore we recommend that you determine the number of pavers needed first. Once the number of pavers has been established, the following formula will give an estimate of approximately how many pedestals will be needed:
|
|
|
1. Count total number of pavers
| 2. Count the number of pavers around the entire perimeter and divide by 2. Add the result to the total number of pavers from step 1.
| 3. Multiply your new total by 5% and round up. Add that number to get your total amount of pedestals needed.
|
|
Use the plan below as an example:
|
|
|
 |
| EXAMPLE |
|
|
1. Total number of Pavers: 46
2. Number of Perimeter Pavers (26) divided by 2 = 13
(13 + 46 = 59)
3. Calculate 5% of your new figure (59) and round up: 3
Add together for a total number of pedestals required: 62
