A Joist Hanger is a metal bracket used to support and secure wooden joists to beams,
ledger boards, or other framing members. Joist hangers help reinforce the structural integrity of floors, decks, and ceilings by preventing joists from shifting or sagging over time.
Joist Hanger Features:
- Made from galvanized steel (for rust resistance) or stainless steel (for outdoor or heavy-duty use).
- Has pre-drilled holes for nails or screws to ensure a strong connection.
- Available in various sizes and shapes to fit different joist dimensions and load requirements.
Common Uses:
- Attaching floor joists to a main beam in houses.
- Securing deck joists to a ledger board.
- Supporting roof rafters or other load-bearing structures.
