The Bison Level.Up Deck Pedestal System stood out for its innovative approach to simplifying and revolutionizing how ground-level decks are built, without the hassle of digging post holes or filling them with concrete.
“Winning the Popular Science Home of the Future Awards is a very exciting honor, considering the magazine is known for bringing solutions to everyday homeowners,” said Jennifer Johnson, Business Development Manager at DAP. “Coming from an iconic, trusted resource for homeowners, the award reinforces Level.Up Deck Pedestals as the fast, easy way to install beautiful ground-level decks without the back-breaking labor, time or hassles of traditional building methods.”
The Bison Level.Up Adjustable Deck Pedestal System eliminates the need for concrete footers and posts, replacing them with a telescoping pedestal design allowing for fast, precise height adjustments. Each pedestal supports up to 750 pounds with a Factor of Safety (FoS) of 3 and its slope-compensating design can handle up to 8% grade using Slope Levelers, offering unmatched versatility for deck builders and advanced DIYers. They are available in 12-pedestal kits to build up to an 8 X 10 ft. deck using 2X6 support joists. Multiple kits can be used to build even bigger decks.
The system also reflects Bison’s ongoing commitment to sustainability. The pedestals are manufactured with 20% post-consumer recycled materials and are weather-, freeze- and mold-resistant, ensuring years of reliable performance in all climates.
The Level.Up Adjustable Deck Pedestal Joist Support System comes with a 10-year pedestal system warranty. For more information, visit https://www.level-updecking.com/.
