Picking the right product

Restraint straps

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

Use the right nails

Connectors only perform with the fixings specified, usually square-twisted or connector nails in every hole the maker requires.

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.

How much will you need?

A floor 3 m wide with joists at 400 mm centres has 9 joists; hung off a wall at one end that is 9 joist hangers, plus restraint straps at the spacing your design shows.

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

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Loughborough?

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 size joist hanger do I need?

Can I use ordinary nails in hangers?

Use the connector nails or screws specified by the maker, usually square-twisted galvanised nails.
