This is a good material for installation on terrace pedestals, but it is important to use an appropriate joist size to prevent excessive flexing while walking.

This is an excellent material for installation on terrace pedestals, but it is important to use an appropriate joist size to prevent excessive flexing while walking. It is also worth noting that wood may tend to warp. Unlike softwood joists, hardwood joists are generally resistant to decay or undergo this process very slowly over many years.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><b>WPC<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Wood Plastic Composite) joists. Using WPC joists on terrace pedestals carries certain risks. This material changes its flexibility depending on the temperature and can become too flexible on hot days, causing deflections. However, if you choose to install composite joists, it is important to select a high-quality product and ensure that the manufacturer maintains a warranty for installation on terrace pedestals.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><b>Aluminum<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> joists. Aluminum joists are the best type of joists to choose for installing an elevated terrace on pedestals. These joists retain their dimensions under the decking, do not become pliable under high temperatures, and remain rigid.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Question\",\n    \"name\": \"What type of joists is best to use for an elevated terrace?\",\n    \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n      \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n      \"text\": \"The type of joists should comply with the recommendations of the terrace board manufacturer.
