Use the right nails

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.

How much will you need?

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.
