Choosing wood tiles for your rooftop deck is a great decision. Wood deck tiles create a stunning deck surface. Bison wood tiles are lightweight and durable. They are available in Ipe and Cumaru hardwood, and come in 2′ x ‘2, 2′ x4’ as well as other custom options and sizes. Standard and standard or sustainably-sourced certified species available.
Bison Innovative Products introduced the Screwjack adjustable deck pedestal to the US market in 1994.
Now Bison deck products are manufactured in Denver, Colorado.
Bison pedestals are known for their patented features that improve performance and stability in raised deck systems.
Bison revolutionized the concept of gravity-based pedestals. They quickly install without damaging waterproof roof membranes found on almost all commercial buildings.
Bison pedestals offer the largest bearing surface area for improved support of wood deck tiles, stone paver tiles, concrete pavers, and deck cubes.
In 2009 Bison expanded its commitment to sustainability and began sourcing wood tiles from responsibly managed forests. Company representatives travel to Brazil to ensure Ipê and Massaranduba hardwoods are harvested through forestry practices that protect the health of the rainforest while supporting the economic viability of local communities.

A: The cost of a Pedestal deck system depends on the size of the deck area and the type of material specified. The square footage of the deck area is used to calculate the number of adjustable pedestals needed and deck material. The type of roof pavers specified also impacts the number of pedestals used in the project and the overall cost. The deck material cost varies as well. Wood deck tile is priced differently than 2cm porcelain pavers. Call Elevated Deck Systems to get an estimate today.

They also compensate for any inclinations with a slope adjuster feature, which is essential for stability and aesthetic appeal, and they allow for proper drainage and concealment of services underneath the deck.
A: When choosing deck pedestals, consider the weight they will need to support, the material of the pavers, and the compatibility with wood tiles, porcelain pavers, or deck grating. Look for pedestals with height and slope adjustability to cater to different elevation requirements, ensuring a secure and level construction.
A: Deck systems accommodate a range of materials, such as wood tiles that bring a natural aesthetic; porcelain pavers that offer a sleek, modern finish; and deck grating for efficient drainage. These materials cater to various design preferences and functional requirements, from creating an inviting natural look to ensuring durability and ease of maintenance.
