• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Getting the right 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.

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.

Your questions answered

What size joist hanger do I need?

One that matches your joist's width and depth, and the type of support: masonry or timber.

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

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

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

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.

What are restraint straps for?

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