A metal “U” shaped item used to support the end of a floor or ceiling joist and attached to another beam. The joist hanger helps anchor the joist in a fixed position and create a better connection between the joist and wall or beam.
EXAMPLE:
Once the joist hangers were in place, there was enough floor support that we could continue with the rest of the construction of our new room.
JOIST HANGER:
Joist hangers are small pieces of metal that act as a frame for joists, horizontal pieces of wood or steel that support the structure of a building or structure, used in pergolas and housing construction.
Example:
Joist hanger usage in landscape construction is primarily for pergolas.
