Before your Cumbria delivery arrives
Boxed or bundled with your timber. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Cumbria.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
Choosing joist hangers and timber connectors
Use the right nails
Connectors only perform with the fixings specified, usually square-twisted or connector nails in every hole the maker requires.
Match the joist size
Hangers are sized to the joist width and depth. Order to your timber schedule.
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.
