Buzon PB-9 Adjustable Pedestal (560-715mm) is a modular Copolymer Polypropylene (CPP) support system designed for high-clearance raised flooring on commercial rooftops and pool decks. This system utilizes dual PB-C2 couplers to bridge deep voids while the integrated Security STOP feature prevents height drift under vibration or heavy pedestrian traffic.
Engineered to withstand point loads up to 807kg, the chemical-resistant assembly remains stable over waterproof membranes and incorporates a U-PH5 slope corrector to compensate for gradients up to 5%.
Frequently asked questions
What height range does the Buzon PB-9 pedestal provide?
The Buzon PB-9 pedestal adjusts from 560 mm up to 715 mm, providing substantial clearance for elevated decking and paving systems. When used with the U-PH5 Slope Corrector, the height range extends slightly from 574 mm to 729 mm.
Can the Buzon PB-9 handle uneven ground or sloping surfaces?
The PB-9 is designed to compensate for uneven ground and can integrate with the U-PH5 Slope Corrector. This accessory allows for slope correction from 0 to 5%, ensuring a level finish even on sloped substructures.
What is the load capacity of the Buzon PB-9 pedestal?
Each Buzon PB-9 pedestal is rated to support a load capacity of 807 kg. This ensures stable support for various decking and paving materials in both commercial and residential applications.
What is the Buzon PB-9 pedestal made from?
The PB-9 is constructed from Copolymer Polypropylene (CPP) and contains 95% recycled content. This material choice provides durability, UV resistance, and chemical resistance suitable for outdoor environments.
Applications and benefits
| Application | Key benefit | Primary trades |
|---|---|---|
| Supporting high-clearance decking structures | Achieves precise levelling across significant voids (560-715mm), creating stable and durable elevated timber decks. | Landscapers, Carpenters |
| Elevated paving systems over rooftops or membranes | Creates a self-draining, level paver surface while protecting underlying waterproof layers and allowing easy access to services. | Tilers, Waterproofers, Builders |
| Commercial and residential outdoor flooring | Provides a robust, adjustable base for large-format tiles or pavers, accommodating varying site conditions and high traffic. | Builders, Landscapers |
| Creating level surfaces over uneven ground or existing slopes | Corrects variations up to 5% with the optional U-PH5 Slope Corrector, saving significant sub-base preparation time and cost. | Civil contractors, Landscapers |
Application Guide
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the substrate is stable and level. Suitable bases include concrete slabs, cement screeds, waterproof membranes, and insulation panels.
- Assemble the Pedestal:
- Attach the PB-4-BASE at the bottom.
- Connect the PB-C2 couplers to adjust the height as needed.
- Secure the PB-4-TOP on top of the assembly.
- Adjust the Height: Rotate the PB-C2 couplers to achieve the desired height (560 mm to 715 mm).
- Ensure Stability: Use the Security STOP feature to lock the height adjustment in place.
- Install the Decking or Paving: Position the tiles, decking, or other finishing materials on top of the PB-9 pedestal.
- Check for Leveling: Use a spirit level to confirm the evenness of the surface.
- Optional Slope Adjustment: If required, use the U-PH5 slope corrector to compensate for slopes up to 5%.

Substrate guide
Proper substrate preparation is critical for the long-term stability and performance of any elevated system.
Concrete
Surface prep: Ensure the concrete surface is clean, free of loose debris, and structurally sound. Any cracks or significant unevenness should be addressed for optimal load distribution.
Primer: Not required for pedestal installation.
Compacted soil
Surface prep: The soil must be thoroughly compacted and stable to prevent future settlement. Consider using a geotextile layer to prevent weed growth and improve stability where required.
Primer: Not required for pedestal installation.
Waterproof membranes
Surface prep: Ensure the membrane is clean, fully adhered, and undamaged. Use protection mats or pads under the pedestal base to prevent puncture or damage to the membrane, especially on soft or self-adhesive membranes.
Primer: Not required for pedestal installation.
