Getting the right joist hangers and timber connectors

Use the right nails

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.

Sizing your order

A floor 4.2 m wide with joists at 400 mm centres has 12 joists; hung off a wall at one end that is 12 joist hangers, plus restraint straps at the spacing your design shows.

Delivery to Dunoon: what helps

Boxed or bundled with your timber. Dunoon is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• On busy streets in Dunoon, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
