FAQs

Can these be used for outdoor decking?

Yes, the galvanised finish provides the necessary corrosion resistance for outdoor applications.

Are the fixing nails included in the pack?

No, the pack contains only the 10 hangers; nails or bolts must be purchased separately.

What is the thickness of the steel used?

These hangers are manufactured from 1.5mm thick steel.

Can I use these for concrete masonry?

Yes, the hanger includes a dedicated M12 hole specifically designed for secure fixing into masonry using appropriate wall anchors.

What is the internal width of the hanger?

The internal width is 47mm.

Are these suitable for structural roofing?

Yes, they are designed to provide stable fixing for joists and beams in various construction projects, including roofing.

Troubleshooting

Joist feels loose inside the hanger

Verify the timber width is exactly 47mm; if it is narrower, use shims to ensure a tight fit to prevent structural instability.

Hanger is not flush against the supporting beam

Check for debris behind the mounting plate or ensure the support beam surface is perfectly flat.

Fixings are difficult to drive in

Use a smaller pilot hole if driving bolts into hardwood, and ensure you are using the correct sized drill bit for your chosen fasteners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable galvanised coating resists weathering
  • Versatile design suitable for roofing, decking, and framing
  • Pre-drilled holes significantly reduce installation time
  • Thick 1.5mm steel offers high structural reliability

Cons

  • Limited to 47mm timber widths
  • Fixings (nails/bolts) not included in the pack
  • Requires proper planning for structural load alignment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure the timber joist is cut square and fits snugly within the 47mm width of the hanger. Position the hanger against the supporting structure and mark your pilot holes if necessary. Use high-quality construction-grade nails or bolts that match the diameter of the pre-drilled holes. For the M12 fixing point, ensure the structural substrate (such as a concrete wall or heavy timber beam) is capable of supporting the intended load. While the galvanised coating is highly resistant to corrosion, it is recommended to inspect the fixings annually, especially in coastal areas or highly humid environments, to ensure no surface oxidation has breached the protective layer.
