Fastshifter Block

The quick, easy way to build a deck base: place the block, drop in a pedestal, set the height.

A light, stackable base for decks where you can't — or don't want to — dig. The Fastshifter FT adjustable pedestal sits right in the centre, so every support is levelled on site in seconds.

Fastshifter Trident Drive

The quick, easy way to build a deck base on soil — about a minute per screw.

Short shaft, wide load-spreading head — so it drives in fast and doesn't sink. Turn it in with the special adapter on a cordless impact driver, or by hand. Built for regions without deep ground frost, where long piles are overkill.

Ø180 headStructures

Screw a threaded rod into the head to carry the frame, or set a pedestal on top.

Ø120 headOutdoor lights

Made for garden lamp posts and bollards — and other light fittings.

  • A different approach to ground screws: short pile, wide head, its own drive system
  • Wide head spreads the load — no sinking in soft or loose soil
  • No machinery, no concrete, no digging

The system

From the ground to the board

A deck fails at its weakest connection. Fastshifter covers each layer of the build, so a distributor can supply the whole job and the installer gets parts that work together.

  1. A

    Deck board

    Fixed from the edge with invisible screws, or from the top with colour-matched deck screws.

     →
  2. B

    Spacer & clip

    Lifts the board off the joist, sets an even gap and lets air move underneath.

     →
  3. C

    Joist tape

    Seals the top of the joist and every screw hole against standing water.

     →
  4. D

    Joist & frame

    Timber or aluminium, joined with FT Twister structural screws and metal screws.

     →
  5. E

    Pedestal or ground screw

    Pedestals on hard bases, ground screws in soil. Both adjustable, both fast.

Factory-direct pricing and a recommended retail price leave a margin for distributor, dealer and installer alike.

Why the deck substructure matters more than the boards

The boards are what clients see, but the frame underneath decides how long a deck lasts. What a good substructure is made of, layer by layer, and where decks usually fail.
