  • the present invention concerns a pedestal for supporting an elevated surface such as a terrace, comprising boards or tiles mounted on a supporting frame of battens or joists, the pedestal comprising:
  • a base configured to be placed on an underlying surface

  • a base portion configured to be placed on an underlying surface
  • a carrying plate having means for engaging with a batten or joist of the elevated surface and defining means for rotatably engaging with
  • intermediate portion and the base portions engage by means of a screw thread, allowing varying the distance between the base portion and the carrying plate by rotation of the intermediate portion in view of the base portion.
