Choosing joist hangers and timber connectors

Use the right nails

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

Restraint straps

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

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.

Estimating your joist hangers and timber connectors

A floor 4.8 m wide with joists at 400 mm centres has 13 joists; hung off a wall at one end that is 13 joist hangers, plus restraint straps at the spacing your design shows.

Delivery to Skegness: what helps

Boxed or bundled with your timber. Skegness is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

Joist Hangers & Timber Connectors questions

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Skegness?

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 add other materials to my Skegness 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.
