Before you order joist hangers and timber connectors

Restraint straps

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

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.

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.

Getting joist hangers and timber connectors onto your Falkirk site

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

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• In summer Falkirk gets around 17h 37m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Joist Hangers & Timber Connectors questions

What are restraint straps for?

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

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

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

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.
