Simpson Strong-Tie metal LUS joist hangers are designed to secure two beams together for a stable and sturdy connection. Joist hangers deliver more durable joist support and allow more accurate placement of joists than end nailing or toe nailing. This is important for making a strong deck structure that can handle heavy loads over a long period of time.
For optimum strength and safety, fasten joist hangers with Strong-Drive® SD Connector Screws specifically designed for compatibility with LUS joist hangers. These specialized screws can accurately fasten and align the joists while maintaining the heavy load.
