Hi there,
I'm in the process of installing a raised deck area in my back yard, from what i have seen on the internet after you fit ledger timber to the perimeter you support the decking joists on metal hangers into the ledgers. Does anyone know what type of hanger to use? the deck joists are 150mmx47mm there are loads to choose from. Saw these in my local Wickes http://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-50mm-Speedy-Joist-Hanger-Standard-Leg/p/240385 and wondered if they would do if i cut the legs down to 150mm, to me they just dont seem very thick at 0.9mm thick galv but they may well be fine. Any advise if these are ok or where and to buy if something is more suitable would be great.
Thanks
