Joist Support
TUFF Joist Support connectors are essential hardware solutions designed for securely connecting timber beams in various construction applications, including decks, flooring, and roof structures. These supports are made from high-quality galvanized steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The design allows for efficient load distribution between beams, enhancing the overall structural integrity of the project.
The TUFF Joist Support features dimensions of 140mm x 45mm and includes bolt holes of varying sizes (12.8mm for large bolts and 3.4mm for small bolts), which facilitate easy installation and secure fastening. The robust construction ensures that these connectors can handle significant weight loads, making them ideal for residential and commercial projects alike. Their versatility allows them to be used in various configurations, accommodating different timber sizes and applications.
Installation of TUFF Joist Supports is straightforward, requiring minimal tools. The supports can be easily bolted to timber beams or joists, providing a reliable connection that enhances the stability of the structure. With their combination of strength, ease of use, and corrosion resistance, TUFF Joist Support connectors are an excellent choice for builders looking to ensure the safety and longevity of their projects.**
Frequently Asked Questions
When would I use a joist support instead of a joist hanger?
Joist supports bolt directly to the side of a beam to carry a joist, often used where a hanger nail-fix isn't suitable or where bolted connections are preferred for load rating.
Is galvanised steel suitable for coastal areas?
Standard galvanised is fine for most inland applications, but for coastal or marine environments a 316 stainless steel joist support is recommended for better corrosion resistance.
What bolt size do these supports take?
These feature 12.8mm holes for large bolts and 3.4mm holes for smaller fixing bolts/screws — check your bolt size matches before ordering.
