Patio Deck Kit

Patio Deck Kit Plus Optional Height Adjuster                   

Provisional Patent App no. 2019903092

FOR SUPER-LOW DECKS OVER CONCRETE

The Patio Deck Kit provides a fixed height of 35mm (1 3/8 inches) to the top of the aluminium joist – the lowest height of any off-the-shelf decking sub-structure system on the market.

Now available as an optional add-on - the Patio Deck Kit Height Adjuster, which clips onto the standard system and allows the aluminium joist to be adjusted in small increments to a new maximum top of joist height of 65mm (2 9/16 inches).

This is ideal for instances whereby you need to counter:-

Drainage

Concrete "fall"

Or simply just want the joist height a little higher

Patio Deck "Kit" (PDK)

Designed for those areas where there is an extremely minimal step-down from the house or apartment block to your patio area, this product consists of an engineered extruded aluminium joist and nylon base clips, providing a fixed height pf 35mm (1 3/8 inches) top of aluminium joist height.– meaning that a typical decking board arrangement can still be installed at less than 60mm  (2 1/4 inches) over your concrete slab or tiled area.With the major components being aluminium and nylon, there is no problems with rust, rot, or “moisture-wicking” from a timber batten into your decking boards, thus ensuring longevity of your decking boards.

If you have a waterproof membrane the nylon base clips can be fixed to your concrete or tiles using Soudal adhesives, eliminating the need for penetration of the base surface – tests have demonstrated that the adhesion and longevity of use is more than adequate in all but the most stringent of situations (eg cyclone or tornado areas).

For concrete or tiled surfaces the nylon base clip can be fixed using 8 mm masonry anchors, or a combination of 8 mm masonry anchors fixed at both joist ends and shared joins. For the remaining nylon base clips in between both joist ends, can be fixed to the concrete or tiles using Soudal Adhesives. Each box of Patio Deck Kit contains 9 x aluminium joists @ 1000mm, 32 base clips, 9 x end caps and covers approximately 3.8 Sq meters @ 450mm centres

"Cost efficiency of using the Patio Deck Kit"

WHAT ARE THE COSTS OF USING THE PATIO DECK KIT ?

On the surface of it, the costs of using this product come across as a little expensive – in the region of $50 - $60 per square metre

– it sounds a lot compared to using straight timber or steel battens which may be half this amount. However, when you consider the Patio

Deck Kit is a full system designed to keep your joists off the concrete, they won’t rot, they won’t rust, and they will outlast the life of your

deck itself, you can start to see the value in this product.

Remember – there is no point in installing expensive timber or composite decking designed to last 20-plus years, only to find that your substructure is

going to cause you problems after 5 – 10 years, especially when such problems may also have a negative influence on the decking boards themselves.

How much is peace of mind worth?

Types of decking boards to use

Whilst it is up to the individual, it should be remembered that ventilation under your decking boards should always be a consideration

in building a deck– even over concrete, and even when your patio area has a cover over it.

When building low over concrete areas, it is best to use the most stable types of decking. The new generation of “capped” composite

decking boards are ideal for use in this situation as the capping gives a good moisture barrier. Even better is the use of these boards when

combined with the KlevaKlip Snap-Loc clips (especially for use with Trex and ModWood decking) 

Of the conventional timber types – merbau is an extremely stable decking and is suitable for most situations, however its “bleeding”

characteristics can be problematical. Many of the Australian hardwoods are great timbers, however it is advisable to get an opinion from

the “manufacturer” regarding their suitability in your specific situation.
