Things to check before you order

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.

Estimating your joist hangers and timber connectors

A floor 4.2 m wide with joists at 400 mm centres has 12 joists; hung off a wall at one end that is 12 joist hangers, plus restraint straps at the spacing your design shows.

Joist Hangers & Timber Connectors in Musselburgh: questions

What are restraint straps for?

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

Can you deliver joist hangers and timber connectors to a site with restricted access in Musselburgh?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Musselburgh?

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.

Can I use ordinary nails in hangers?

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