How delivery works in Argyll and Bute

Boxed or bundled with your timber. Across most of Argyll and Bute, deliveries are quoted individually because of the distance and access.

  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Before you order joist hangers and timber connectors

Restraint straps

Building regulations require lateral restraint in many situations; your design shows where.

Match the joist size

Hangers are sized to the joist width and depth. Order to your timber schedule.

In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

Your questions answered

Can you deliver joist hangers and timber connectors to a site with restricted access in Argyll and Bute?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

How soon can joist hangers and timber connectors be delivered in Argyll and Bute?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

What are restraint straps for?

They tie walls to floors and roofs so the walls are restrained against wind and other sideways loads.

Are hangers suitable outside?

Galvanised hangers suit most sheltered external use; very exposed or coastal locations may need stainless steel.
