Picking the right product

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.

Delivery to Crawley: what helps

Boxed or bundled with your timber. Crawley is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• In summer Crawley gets around 16h 34m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
