Buzon BC-KIT-2 Adjustable Joist Holder

Adjustable Joist Support

Slope-correcting and height-adjustable Buzon pedestals offer a fixed or adjustable joist support accessory that affixes to the pedestal head. These joist support accessories accommodate nearly any size or type pressure treated (PT) lumber joists, beams or framing, HDG Alum Joists, or metal tube-alum or tube-steel.

Adjustable Joist Holder

The Buzon BC-KIT-2 adjustable joist holder is affixed to the BC Series pedestal head and firmly holds the joists supporting the deck boards. It is adjustable in width with guide-arms that slide in-out and can grab/secure pressure-treated 2x, 3x, 4x, and even 6x joists or beams. It will also secure any size alum or metal framing.

Versatile Fixed Joist Holder

The BC-KIT-5 and PB-KIT-5 are fixed-joist holders. These require only x1 clip per pedestal head and are significantly faster and less expensive than using the adjustable joist-holder models. Joists are secured to the fix-joist holder by screw-attaching through the one vertical guide-arm.

BC-KIT-5

The KIT-5 fixed joist-holder is flexible in that it too can hold any size or type PT joists, beams or framing, HDG Alum Joists, or any type of metal tube-alum or tube-steel. It is useful to use these stronger members sometimes to BRIDGE over longer distances on a roof-deck where decking or pavers need to span over piping or mechanical equipment. The BC-KIT-5 can accommodate joists with a minimum depth of 30 mm (1.18 in)  and a maximum width of 100 mm (3.94 in).

BC-KIT-5 Joist Support Advantages:

  • Significantly faster and less expensive than fully adjustable joist-holder models
  • Works with entire range of BC series pedestals (PB-KIT-5 is available for PB-series pedestals)
  • Easily installed by snapping into pedestal head
  • Can secure an individual joist or be used to combined 2 joists
  • Accommodates a wide range of joist sizes
  • Compatible with Buzon patented slope correction system
  • Resistant to weathering, sea salts, algae and a wide range
    of chemicals

Buzon Pedestals and Board Decking in Apple Park Visitor Center

Apple Campus Visitor Center

The Apple Campus Visitor Center uses scratch-resistant, high pedestrian traffic capable, 25mm x 145mm board decking over Buzon adjustable pedestals.

Experts in Pedestal Joist Decking

Leverage HDG Building Materials

HDG provides expert design and installation guidance on pedestal paver systems whether you are designing a modest terrace or a large public plaza. HDG project takeoffs show the locations and heights of all the pedestals. Best of all, you don’t have to figure this out. We will do it for you. All we need are a few key point elevations for each water-shed (drainage area).

Our shop drawings and takeoffs show paver layout, count and partial pavers/cuts. When board-decking is involved our takeoffs show joint-pattern and linear footage as well as the joist-spacing.

Reach out at any stage of your projects. We’ll help you get started and keep going, from concept to completion. We are happy to work with landscape architects, building professionals, architects, planners, designers, and owners interested in using superior products.
