FAQs

What type of screws should I use with this joist hanger?

You should use structural screws or nails specifically designed for load-bearing applications in outdoor wood construction. Consult your local building codes or a hardware professional for specific recommendations based on your project.

Is this joist hanger suitable for indoor use?

While the hanger is durable, its primary design and finish are optimized for outdoor conditions. It can be used indoors, but its concealed nature and weather-resistant coating are most beneficial for exterior projects.

How much weight can this joist hanger support?

The product information does not specify a maximum weight capacity. For load-bearing calculations, please refer to engineering specifications or consult with a structural engineer, especially for critical applications.

What does '2Mm Thick' refer to?

The '2Mm Thick' typically refers to the thickness of the metal used in the construction of the joist hanger, indicating its robust and heavy-duty nature.

Can the black finish be painted or stained?

The black powder-coated finish is designed for durability and aesthetic appeal. Painting over it is generally not recommended and may void any finish warranty. It is best to maintain the original finish.

What is the 'CoatArmour Shield'?

CoatArmour Shield is the proprietary name for the advanced anti-rust protection applied to the joist hanger, featuring a weather-resistant black powder-coated finish.

Does this joist hanger come with screws?

The product description does not mention included screws. Typically, structural hangers are sold separately from fasteners, so you will likely need to purchase appropriate screws or nails.

Troubleshooting

Joist hanger does not sit flush

Ensure the surface of the supporting beam and the joist are smooth and free of obstructions. Check for any debris or unevenness in the wood that may be preventing a flush fit. Re-measure and re-position if necessary.

Difficulty inserting fasteners

Confirm you are using the correct size and type of structural screws or nails. Ensure the fastener is aligned properly with the pre-drilled holes in the hanger and the wood.

Visible connector after installation

This is often due to initial placement. For future installations, ensure meticulous measurement and alignment before securing the hanger, prioritizing the concealed aspect of the design.

Corrosion observed on the hanger

While designed for anti-rust protection, prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments or damage to the coating could lead to minor surface rust. Clean the affected area and ensure the coating is intact; if damaged, consider a suitable metal repair paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have the correct tools, including appropriate screws or nails suitable for structural wood connections and your chosen timber.
  2. Position the joist hanger accurately against the supporting beam and the joist it will connect.
  3. Secure the hanger to the supporting beam first, using the designated holes.
  4. Then, secure the hanger to the joist, ensuring a tight and stable fit.
  5. For concealed applications, precise placement is key to ensuring the hanger is hidden once the structure is complete.

Compatibility:

This joist hanger is designed for use with standard lumber dimensions typically found in pergola, carport, and garden structure construction. It is compatible with most types of wood used in outdoor applications. Ensure the fasteners you use are rated for structural load-bearing and are compatible with the wood type and hanger material.

Care:

Due to its weather-resistant black powder-coated finish, the TG Supplies Heavy Duty Concealed Joist Hanger requires minimal care.

  • Periodically inspect the hangers for any signs of damage or excessive wear, particularly after severe weather events.
  • Clean the hangers with a damp cloth if they become dusty or dirty. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
  • If minor scratches occur, they are unlikely to compromise the structural integrity or anti-rust properties due to the underlying material and protective coating.
