Picking the right product

Match the joist size

Hangers are sized to the joist width and depth. Order to your timber schedule.

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.

Getting joist hangers and timber connectors onto your Ely site

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

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• In summer Ely gets around 16h 49m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.

Common questions from Ely

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

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.

What size joist hanger do I need?

One that matches your joist's width and depth, and the type of support: masonry or timber.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Ely?

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.

What are restraint straps for?

They tie walls to floors and roofs so the walls are restrained against wind and other sideways loads.
