Before you order joist hangers and timber connectors

Match the joist size

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

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.

A quick quantity check

A floor 3.6 m wide with joists at 400 mm centres has 10 joists; hung off a wall at one end that is 10 joist hangers, plus restraint straps at the spacing your design shows.
