Joist Hanger – Galvanised Steel – Timber Support

Product Overview

This galvanized mini joist hanger is crafted to fit 47mm-wide timber, matching the finished size of standard 50mm nominal sections, commonly used in C16 or C24 structural grades, such as 47 × 100mm joists. Made from galvanized steel, it offers a reliable, light-duty solution for timber-to-timber connections, ensuring durability and a compact design for small joists, trimmers, or noggins.

The zinc coating provides effective corrosion protection, extending the service life in internal environments. With precision-formed flanges and pre-punched nail holes, this hanger ensures consistent alignment and secure bearing contact between connected timbers. Ideal for use with joists up to 100mm deep, the 47mm width accommodates standard small-section timbers with a snug fit.
