FAQs

What is the maximum depth of timber this joist hanger can accommodate?

This joist hanger is designed to accommodate timber joists up to 100 mm in height.

What type of nails should I use with this hanger?

The hanger is pre-punched for 30 x 3.75 mm sherardised square twisted nails.

Is this joist hanger suitable for heavy-duty applications?

No, this is a mini joist hanger and is best suited for light-duty applications such as trimming around ceiling hatches or installing basic decking. It is not designed for heavy structural loads.

How many hangers are included in a pack?

This specific product variant comes in a pack of 2.

What is the material of the joist hanger?

The joist hanger is manufactured from 0.9 mm thick galvanised steel.

Can I use these hangers outdoors?

Yes, the galvanised steel construction provides corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor use in typical weather conditions. However, avoid prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments.

What is the width of this joist hanger?

The width of this particular joist hanger is 47 mm.

Troubleshooting

Joist does not fit snugly in the hanger.

Ensure the joist is the correct nominal size and has not been excessively dried or warped. Trim the joist slightly if necessary, or consider a hanger with a different internal width if available.

Nails are difficult to drive or do not hold securely.

Verify that you are using the recommended 30 x 3.75 mm sherardised square twisted nails. Ensure the wood is not overly dense or wet. Predrill pilot holes for extremely dense wood.

Hanger appears to be rusting or corroding.

While galvanised steel offers protection, prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments may eventually affect the coating. Clean the affected area and consider applying a suitable metal primer and paint for added protection if necessary.

Connection feels unstable after installation.

Double-check that all available fixing holes have been used on both the main beam and the joist. Ensure the joist is flush and square before fastening. Re-evaluate if the application exceeds the light-duty capacity of the hanger.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  3. Secure the hanger to the main beam using appropriate screws or nails through the outer holes.
