Long Leg Timber Hanger
Long leg timber hangers are designed for deeper timber-to-timber joist connections, particularly where joists sit below the supporting beam.
Long Leg Timber Hangers
Long leg timber hangers are designed for deeper timber-to-timber connections where the joist sits lower than the supporting beam or ledger. They provide a strong and reliable fixing for structural timber joists where a longer support leg is required.
These hangers are commonly used in applications such as loft conversions, under-slung floor joists and structural timber framing where deeper joists need secure support.
The extended leg design allows the hanger to support joists up to 250mm deep, making them suitable for a wide range of structural timber floor installations.
Manufactured from pre-galvanised steel, Timco long leg timber hangers offer strong corrosion resistance and are suitable for most internal structural timber applications.
Timco timber hangers conform to Eurocode 5 and Service Class 2, helping ensure reliable performance in structural timber connections.
Typical Long Leg Timber Hanger Sizes
Choosing the correct hanger size ensures the timber joist fits securely within the bracket and transfers load safely into the supporting beam or ledger.
| Joist Size W x H (mm) | Typical Applications |
|---|---|
| 47 x 150 – 47 x 200 | Structural timber floor joists |
| 47 x 225 – 47 x 250 | Deep joists used in loft conversions |
| 75 x 200 – 100 x 250 | Large structural joists and timber framing |
When to Use Long Leg Timber Hangers
Long leg timber hangers are typically used when the joist sits below the supporting beam or when deeper joists require additional support.
Common uses include:
- loft conversions
- under-slung floor joists
- deep structural timber floors
- timber framing installations
For smaller joists or general timber connections, standard timber hangers or mini timber hangers may be more suitable.
