Creating usable outdoor spaces on flat roofs made possible with Wallbarn


Creating usable outdoor spaces on flat roofs is possible and easy using Wallbarn’s range of adjustable pedestals. Designed specially to support timber decking systems, the hardwearing and durable pedestals are injection moulded in 100% polypropylene with no fillers, so the products can withstand the weight pressures and elements in the long term. They will not become brittle in freezing temperatures and are not affected by being in standing water.


The pedestals lift the timber joist frame off


the deck and the heights are adjusted to the millimetre by twisting the telescopic stems. The joists are set flat and cross fixed to give strength to the system. The decking boards are fixed to the joists and remain away from standing water, extending their lifespan. The drainage of the roof deck is unaffected, the lower surface is ventilated and damp courses are uncompromised as no fixings penetrate the upstands. Weight is also minimised.


Attractive leisure areas using natural materials can be created on roofs, terraces, balconies and podium decks. Installation is hassle-free and very fast. Wallbarn can assist users with design ideas and specification tools. For more details please visit the following:

The lighter and stronger alternative


EGGER UK has launched OSB HDX a brand new 30mm heavy duty, load-bearing OSB4 panel ideal for use in humid environments. It replaces EGGER 38mm HDX board and is the perfect solution for heavy duty load-bearing environments, where P5 or P6 38mm chipboard would


typically be used. Its low swelling properties means it’s less likely to pick up moisture which can lead to uneven floors. Due to its 30mm thickness, it’s 20 per cent lighter and despite being wider than a typical chipboard panel, it’s easier to manoeuvre and quicker to lay.
