Deck Jacks

Something critical to consider is that concrete-look tiles can be used on decks and patios, but you cannot lay the tiles directly onto the decks and patios; you'll need to use deck jacks to support the weight of the tiles.

Deck jacks are floating decks that support its self with a levelling pedestal system. This system complies with council regulations that floating deck surfaces should be removable to access the waterproofing membrane below.
