Things to check before you order

Use the right nails

Connectors only perform with the fixings specified, usually square-twisted or connector nails in every hole the maker requires.

Restraint straps

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

In England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.

Quantities: a worked example

A floor 5.4 m wide with joists at 400 mm centres has 15 joists; hung off a wall at one end that is 15 joist hangers, plus restraint straps at the spacing your design shows.

Common questions from Christchurch

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.

Can I add other materials to my Christchurch delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from joist hangers and timber connectors to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

Are hangers suitable outside?

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

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

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.
