StoneDeks System

What StoneDeks System does

StoneDeks System is a privately held, founder-owned manufacturer of patented structural substructure products for elevated outdoor living construction, headquartered in the Canton, Ohio area and operating since 2007 under founder Bart Stuchell. The company's core offering is the SilcaGrate™ hexagonal honeycomb panel, a 2-inch-cell structural substrate that enables real stone, porcelain, brick, and pavers to be installed on standard wood or metal deck framing—previously feasible only with traditional masonry. A complementary product, SoilGrid™, extends the same hexagonal-cell engineering to ground-level patios with up to 90% permeability for drainage. Together the two products are positioned as a unified system allowing continuous surface materials from indoor spaces through elevated deck to ground-level patio.

The company sells hardware to a distributed channel of 582 certified installers and dealers across the United States, who in turn incorporate the system into residential and commercial projects. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with prospective customers directed to a 'Request a Materials Quote' form or a direct phone line ((330) 821-1585). StoneDeks targets two parallel customer segments—homeowners seeking low-maintenance, permanent elevated outdoor surfaces, and professional contractors seeking differentiated, premium-margin project offerings—and supports both with content-driven marketing, an active project gallery, and a dedicated 'Find an Installer' funnel. The platform holds ICC ESR-3748 code compliance and is patented, representing the company's primary regulatory and IP moat.

Over 19 years of operation, StoneDeks has accumulated more than 2.5 million square feet of installed SilcaGrate across residential and commercial projects, with no disclosed external funding, no headcount disclosures, and no public revenue figures. The business operates as an independent, founder-led enterprise focused on its niche in the deck and hardscape materials market.

Revenue model

Structural System Products (SilcaGrate and SoilGrid): StoneDeks generates revenue through the sale of its patented structural products - SilcaGrate (elevated deck substructure) and SoilGrid (ground-level grid system). These are physical products sold to contractors, dealers, and homeowners for use in deck construction and renovation projects. Pricing is quote-based, suggesting project-specific sizing requirements. The company sells directly to installers and dealers who incorporate the system into their construction projects.

Core offering

StoneDeks System manufactures and sells patented honeycomb structural substructure products — SilcaGrate™ for elevated decks and SoilGrid™ for ground-level patios — that allow real stone, porcelain, and pavers to be installed on standard wood or metal deck framing. Products are sold through a national network of certified installers/dealers and direct quote-based channels to homeowners and contractors.

Product overview

StoneDeks System is a hardware-based outdoor living platform consisting of two interconnected products: SilcaGrate™, a patented hexagonal honeycomb substructure for elevated deck applications, and SoilGrid™, a ground-level interlocking grid system for patios and hardscape. Together, these products enable unified surface materials from the deck to the patio, allowing builders to install real stone, porcelain, tile, brick, or pavers using familiar deck framing methods rather than traditional masonry construction. The system is designed for low maintenance, long-term durability, and creates seamless visual and functional flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Direct peers

• Buzon Pedestals International: Buzon is a leading European manufacturer of screw-adjustable pedestals for elevated paver installations on rooftops, terraces, and pool decks. Directly comparable to StoneDeks in target application (elevated hardscape substrate) with international distribution.
• Bison Innovative Products: Bison manufactures adjustable pedestals and support systems for pavers and wood tiles on rooftop decks, plazas, and elevated surfaces. Most directly comparable to StoneDeks in function (supporting hardscape on elevated framing) though focused on pedestals rather than honeycomb substrate.
• Archatrak: Archatrak manufactures pedestal systems and structural supports for pavers and tiles on roof decks, balconies, and plazas. Closely comparable application set to StoneDeks' SilcaGrate, though Archaträk leans on adjustable pedestals rather than a continuous substrate.
• Eterno Ivica: Eterno produces adjustable paver pedestals for elevated outdoor surfaces including roof decks, terraces, and balconies. Comparable to StoneDeks in serving the same end use case (elevated hardscape) via a different mechanical approach.

Broad incumbents

• Fiberon Decking: Fiberon manufactures composite and PVC decking products distributed through lumberyards and dealers in North America. Competes with StoneDeks for the same contractor-driven deck upgrade market at a different price point and material category.
• MoistureShield: MoistureShield manufactures composite decking with an emphasis on moisture resistance for ground-level and waterfront applications. Broadly comparable end-customer (residential contractors and homeowners) to StoneDeks, competing for the same decking upgrade budget.
• Trex Company: Trex is the dominant North American composite decking brand with deep retail distribution and large marketing budgets. Competes with StoneDeks for the same outdoor-decking spend, though as a finished-surface product rather than a substrate system.
• TimberTech (AZEK): TimberTech (now part of James Hardie) is a major composite and PVC decking manufacturer serving residential and commercial outdoor projects. Competes broadly for the same decking replacement and new-build dollars as StoneDeks, with far greater brand recognition.
• Deckorators: Deckorators produces composite decking, railing, and deck accessories marketed to contractors and homeowners. Adjacent competitor in the premium outdoor-living segment where StoneDeks also competes.

Emerging players

• HandyDeck: HandyDeck is a smaller UK-based supplier of modular outdoor decking tiles and support systems for balconies and terraces. Comparable product category (elevated hardscape solutions) at much smaller scale and primarily serving the UK market.
