Pedestal Deck System

[Neel Patel]

Hello,

I'm looking to install pedestal decking on my terrace in Philadelphia. I haven't decided if I'm going to do it myself or hire a contractor to do it. 

I have a 15 ft by 15 ft terrace and would like install either 20"x20", 24"x24" or 24"x48" IPE tiles on pedestals.

A few questions:

1. Does anyone know where I could purchase the materials in Philly? Or even a reputable company nearby? Is it worth it have it shipped?

2. Any recommendations on contractors in Philadelphia that do this type of work?

3. If I do it myself, any advice or pointers?

Thanks!
