Archatrak vertical closure clips work with both NM and Premier Pedestals

Two special stainless-steel clips are attached to the pedestal, one placed over the head and the other under the base, The pre-cut pedestal base allows the paver face to be positioned as close as possible to the pedestal column. The combination of these upper and lower clips grips the vertical face of the paver securely and prevents horizontal movement.

Caution: This solution is only intended to create a vertical closure where the step height is no higher than a normal stair riser. In all installations where the deck is not finished at a solid retaining wall, the completed elevated deck must be completely stable, free from all sideways movement and comply with all relevant regulations and codes.
