Grad Rooftop Decks pedestal and rail system can be installed quickly and easily and the boards can be removed, replaced, and updated hassle-free, the manufacturer says. Grad aluminum rails are snapped onto the pedestals, and then specially grooved boards (from Grad partners) are snapped onto factory-equipped clips on the rails—without fasteners and evenly spaced. The manufacturer says the finished deck is virtually maintenance-free and resistant to rot. Pedestals are ASTM D1929 and D635 safety-tested and the subdeck can be accessed at any time. Pricing starts at around $5 per square foot and varies by project. us.gradconcept.com
