Joist Hangers & Timber Connectors: choosing well

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 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.

Sizing your order

A floor 5.4 m wide with joists at 400 mm centres has 15 joists; hung off a wall at one end that is 15 joist hangers, plus restraint straps at the spacing your design shows.
