Example implementations of a synthetic turf system comprise a turf tray and a turf element. The turf tray is rigid and planar, and has a lattice structure extending within the lateral perimeter. The turf element includes a backing portion and a blade portion. The blade portion is defined by a plurality of blades of artificial grass affixed to the backing portion, the backing portion is placed secured engagement with the upper side by way of, for example, adhesive or screws. The turf trays may include perimeter and auxiliary adhesive tracks, and an array of screw retention bosses. The system may include a sprinkler assembly mountable in the turf trays for washing down the turf elements. The sprinkler assembly may include mounting flanges configurable to accommodate mounting of various sprinklers. The system may include height-adjustable pedestals or joists to support the turf trays at a distance above the local horizonal surface.

Pedestals for supporting pavers on a roof or other surface are provided. In some cases the pedestal has a cylindrical core, a base coupled to the cylindrical core and positioned to support the cylindrical core, and a support plate coupled to the cylindrical core and adapted to support at least one paver. In some cases, the pedestal includes an anchoring assembly having a collar positioned axially between the base and the support plate, and an arm extending radially outward from the collar and having a distal end adapted to be mounted to the roof or other surface at a location spaced apart from the cylindrical core. Also, in some cases a mounting member is provided that extends to and between a first location proximate the cylindrical core and a second location on the roof or other surface distal from the cylindrical core and the base. In some cases, top and bottom pads are used to receive a paver therebetween, wherein the top and/or bottom pads are adapted to rotate relative to the cylindrical core.

A first protrusion formed on stone or porcelain tile extending from an edge of the tile configured to abut a second tile to space the first tile apart from the second tile by the first protrusion.

Set comprising a device for slope compensation of a construction surface and a fixing foot having a gripping member, which device comprises a first and second slope compensation element mounted as to rotate with respect to each other, each element presents a range having a predetermined number of positions where each position corresponds to a slope compensation value, the first and second element comprising a first, respectively a second, series of windows applied each time on each of the elements, the windows of said first and second series of windows being arranged such that for each of the positions, where slope compensation value of the first and second slope compensation element corresponds, at least one of the windows of each of the slope compensation elements being positioned such as to be opposite to each other, the windows when positioned opposite to each other serve to engage the gripping member.

In one aspect of a tile and support structure, a support structure may be engaged with a top portion of a pedestal. The support structure may be formed with a generally vertical spine having at least one rail extending outward from a distal end thereof. The spine and rail(s) may be configured to secure one or more tiles, which tiles may be formed with a groove on at least one edge thereof, and wherein one or more rails may be positioned within the groove.

A support structure configured for attachment to a pedestal upper surface with a support structure spine extending upward from the support structure; a first support structure rail and second support structure rail each extending perpendicularly outward from the support structure spine. A tile comprising a groove formed in at least one of the plurality of side edges; wherein the groove of the at least one of the plurality of edges of the tile is configured for engagement by the first support structure rail of the support structure.

A peripheral stabilizing system for elevated flooring surfaces that is configured to resist uplift forces acting against the elevated flooring surface thereby reducing the likelihood of dislodged surface tiles and the like. Broadly, the disclosed system includes a support structure disposed over a fixed surface (e.g., roof deck or the like), a plurality of surface tiles appropriately laid over the support structure, and one or more restraint apparatuses (e.g., support ledgers) that are positionable adjacent the outer periphery of the flooring surface. Each restraint apparatus includes a mounting portion that is securable to a wall (e.g., parapet) and a restraint portion positionable over a portion of the elevated flooring surface adjacent the outer periphery for restricting movement of the flooring surface in a direction away from the fixed surface.

Disclosed may be an intermediate surface for supporting a small paver, wherein the surface can also be used to exchange heat with the pavers. In one embodiment, the apparatus may be a tray defined by a frame with a lattice for supporting pavers. The tray preferably features a tubing track throughout the lattice to accommodate heat exchange tubing. In operation the tray may be positioned above a pedestal or directly on a subsurface. In embodiment, the tray may be outfitted with insulation and a metal plate so that heat may be exchanged with pedestals via fluid passing through tubing installed throughout the lattice. In a preferred embodiment, the tray features a slot in its corners for receiving a locking disk or locking slider.

The invention relates to a device fixing a support structure for at least one solar panel, in particular a support rail of a support structure for at least one solar panel, to a corrugated roof comprising at least one corrugated roof plate, said device defines a receiving space for receiving at least part of a crest of at least one corrugated roof plate and being configured for co-action with at least one fastening element for fastening of the device onto the corrugated roof.
