The SkyView Pedestal System is designed for maximum flexibility, accommodating a wide range of height requirements to ensure a perfectly level elevated rooftop surface. With an adjustable, modular design, these pedestals effortlessly span heights from 3 to 31 inches, without the need for cross-bracing. To fine-tune the heights, the pedestal cores can be cut down in 1-inch increments, and the top can be rotated a quarter turn for 1/16-inch adjustments. Looking to achieve heights less than 3”, view our SkyView Low-Profile Waffles.

Next Generation Pedestals for Rooftop Decking

Pedestal systems are one of the most common structural solutions for rooftop decking. By supporting and elevating paving materials, they create level outdoor spaces over sloped or uneven surfaces while allowing access to underlying systems and utilities. These systems play a vital role in transforming underutilized rooftops into attractive, functional environments for living, working, or entertaining. The SkyView Pedestal System goes beyond the core benefits of pedestal systems by offering adjustable heights, unique slope compensation, and exceptional design flexibility. Watch this video to learn more.

Unique patent-pending design

Adjustable heights from 3" to 31" without cross-bracing

Slope compensation up to 6%

Orbital socket for ease of leveling

Large footprint to provide stability

Consistent slab alignment with 3/16” spacer tabs

Resistant to water, mold, and freeze/thaw cycles

Component Features & Functions

Each component of the SkyView Pedestal System plays a vital role in providing a stable foundation for roof deck surfacing materials. Explore their features and functions to see how they work together to create a complete and reliable system.
1/8” or 1/16" Top Pad
The top pad is an optional component that aids in sound dampening, shock absorption, and grip. It can also be used effectively for shimming to fine-tune the level of pavers on pedestals.
Top
The 49-square-inch top provides an ideal footprint to support various surfacing materials. It features four 3/16-inch tabs to ensure fast and easy alignment when installing materials like concrete slabs. These tabs can also be easily removed, if required. Additionally, the sight hole allows installers to visually verify full engagement of the top with the core, ensuring a secure connection between the two components.
5” Core
The 5" core extends the height of pedestal assemblies. The concave socket on the bottom of the core fits onto the convex dome on the base, allowing orbital movement to adjust for slopes up to 6%. Its textured surface improves the connection between the base and cores. Additionally, a built-in drainage hole on the side of the cores helps maintain proper water flow, preventing standing water.
Collar
When stacking multiple cores to achieve taller pedestal heights, the collar is what connects them together. The collar features an internal ring, and when connecting two cores, full engagement is achieved when the ring stops further tightening of the cores.
Washer
The washer secures the core to the base of the pedestal. The textured bottom of the washer mimics the socket shape on the cores to ensure a flush and secure connection once installed.
10" Core
The 10" core extends the height of pedestal assemblies. The concave socket on the bottom of the core fits onto the convex dome on the base, allowing orbital movement to adjust for slopes up to 6%. Its textured surface improves the connection between the base and cores. Additionally, a built-in drainage hole on the side of the cores helps maintain proper water flow, preventing standing water.
Base
The 49-square-inch base provides a stable foundation for the pedestal. The orbital socket, formed by connecting the base to the core, adjusts for slopes up to 6%. The holes in the base facilitate water drainage in traditional installations, and in wind uplift applications where adhesives are needed to secure the pedestals to the roof membrane, they enable the adhesive to expand and bond more effectively.
