Joist Hangers & Timber Connectors questions

Can I add other materials to my Luton delivery?

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.

What are restraint straps for?

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

Are hangers suitable outside?

Galvanised hangers suit most sheltered external use; very exposed or coastal locations may need stainless steel.

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