Joist Hangers & Timber Connectors delivered to Galashiels
Timber connectors are galvanised steel brackets that join and restrain structural timber, such as joist hangers that carry joists off a wall or beam and restraint straps that tie floors and roofs to walls.
We deliver joist hangers and timber connectors to sites, driveways and yards across Galashiels, from a single pallet for a small job to full loads for bigger builds.

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