In order to ensure that your Pedestal provides you with the stability that you require, it is essential that it is fitted correctly.

We can provide you with one of our " Pedestal Fitting Templates " , which you can  submerge in the ground, this will give you a perfect base to fit your Pedestal on to.

Our " Pedestal Templates " are supplied & Delivered FREE to all our Pedestal customers upon request.

Fitting instructions are as follows:

Assuming that you have already dug a deep enough hole, you will now want to fill it with concrete, and then level it off.

You will now need to assemble the Template so the arrows are roughly alligned, and the Top Disc is low enough to leave at least 6" - 150mm clear.

You will need to leave 4" - 100mm of thread clear above the ground level, so Submerge the Template in to the hole and cover with concrete taking this into account.

To provide you with a perfectly flat surface to fit the Pedestal on, we Reccommend the use of a cheap, cast, paving slab.

Because they are smooth and flat ( and easy to drill through ), they are perfect for using as your surface stone.

Once you Mark Out and Drill the holes to match the Template, then you only have to Level it off when you drop in place over the Template.

Don't forget to leave at least 2" - 50mm of thread above the Slab in order to fit the Pedestal.

Thats it, job done. 

As you can see from the picture above, we fit a Gasket under the Pedestal to absorb any Slight vibration which may be present in the ground, and to ensure a nice, snug fit.

Place the Pedestal over the Template and Tighten the Nuts.

You now have a perfectly fitted Pedestal which will serve you well.
