Joist Hangers & Timber Connectors in Bow: questions

Can I use ordinary nails in hangers?

Use the connector nails or screws specified by the maker, usually square-twisted galvanised nails.

Do I nail every hole in a joist hanger?

Follow the maker's instructions; many hangers need specific nails in specific holes to reach their rated load.

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.
