Getting the right joist hangers and timber connectors

Restraint straps

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

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.

Delivery to Wick: what helps

Boxed or bundled with your timber. Wick is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

• 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.
• In summer Wick gets around 18h 19m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Estimating your joist hangers and timber connectors

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.
