Hanging the boards first is such a good idea! because, no two boards are the exact same diameter. Thanks for the info, it also helps to know the lingo when I walk into to lumber store. ;)
Tips for the one who to do that wifey! Go with structural screws for all the holes (inches and a half and the 2 and a half). Why? Because you can give her an impact driver that is light and doesn't kick in your hand and she will be able the do all the screws while you measure, cut and place. My wife got so good (from never doing any of this before) that half the project in she was almost waiting on me to bring the next joist. Hangers on both sides so it's 20 screws per joist. She did over 1000 in about 2 days. Screws are more expensive than nails indeed, but it is all worth it!
You have taught me so much. I want you to know, I appreciate you and what you do for us!
I learn something new with each of your videos. Thank you from an older DYIer.
Thanks for these videos. I'm building an 18x16 loft in my vaulted ceiling living room. These videos are hard to find on TH-cam so this info is helpful.
Great explanation and straight to the point! Helped me out a lot. Loved every bit of it!
Hey Dr. Deck, I want to thank you for the GREAT! video very well explained I needed to hear the size of the nail and screws for the size of the hanger. Thank you again and please have a fantastic day!
I remember awhile back seeing this video using proper hanger screws. I'm reframing my old deck and did simple search to find this video. Thx for keeping us straight out here!
I am first time my own floating deck builder and I learned lots from your video. I live in the place where we don't get earthquakes though I bought #9 and #10 screws that you are referring to. Now I can install my joistes like pro. Thank you.
Thanks! Keep up the amazing vids. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
That was VERY INFORMATIVE! Great job!
Great video, short, sweet and to the point! Thank!
Good intel, much appreciated.
Thank you bro for sharing , appreciate all the content off your videos
great video... covering up a 85' length x 12' wide 7' deep old dye pit in an old cotton mill...your video helped with screws sizing for joist and ledger board
Great video....will use these tips on my shed joists.....thanks...
Great detailed vid!!! Keep on decking.
Thank you so much for the info
Good explanation.
Excellent video 😋
Thank You. Thanks for sharing.
Great work Dr. Decks.
Thankyou for your knowledge .
Thanks for me these are new ideas on which fasteners to use & techniques on using them.
Very informative. Thank You! 👍🏻
Thank you Doctor.
Thanks for the post my friend, it definitely helped me out
Awesome video sir much appreciated
Super helpful! Thank you!
Excellent presentation . . . thanks!!
Nice note at the end about EVH!
Great stuff, thanks for all the information.
Thanks for the tip. Much appreciated.
Thanks so much for explaining how to affix joist hangers! Our condo doesn’t have a deck, but this helped us create a second level in our small indoor space. You are great at explaining how to use this.
April and you had to watch this to know how to install joist hangers unreal. news flash it is not rocket science.
AWESOME JOB. THANKS
Thank you Sir for your videos.
As an older guy, I am now seeing the results of years of doing this with no hearing protection. Folks, please please wear hearing protection and eye protection. The hearing damage is cumulative even as a part time do it yourselfer and I have lost count the number of times something has bounced or flew off and hit my glasses. Great video though ! Good practices
I wish someone told me that about condoms 4 years ago.
Rod Harris is right. I am 45 and have a ringing in my ears. When I was in my 20’s and early 30’s I was too tough to wear earplugs. Now I’m paying for it. Wear them or you’ll wish you did.
And I can imagine the tendonitis after a day of using that nail driver. He's using padded gloves but that repetitive vibration will destroy your nerves over time.
Ya I’m going deaf as well from framing houses for years on end only protection I ever wore were my safety sunglasses I was Forman/cut man ran a saw 8 hours a day most days, plus I was a Drag racer car was so loud it shook the ground
@@jimhardiman7735 right tool for the right job, bud.
Excellent and thorough and very informative. Disappointed when you used the nail gun without safety glasses.
Thank you for all of the very helpful tips and info doc!
Thanks for the video! Very helpful!
RIP Eddie. You are missed. So glad I saw a show in the 80’s
Excellent video
Very detailed, and correct information on how to install a joist hanger. But lumber shrinks, particularly pressure treated lumber, will shrink as it dries out. Even in an outdoor application. So after a year or two there will be a space (gap) between the bottom of the joist hanger and the bottom for the floor joist.
Im glad I saw this I need a bit of a refresher on the this. Been way to long
Thanks for the good information appreciate it!
I’m glad to see that you guys put the Simpson ties after the lumber has already been installed.
I’ve seen a lot of TH-cam “contractors” install the hangers first before the floor joists and it drives me crazy because that not the correct way to use them.
This was helpful. Thanks
Thanks! Oh! And the Eddie Van Halen tribute was awesome!
Great video and information
Thank you
Very informative thanks
I am building a 5'X5' freestanding deck for a tiny house and want to install these correctly. Thanks so much!
That palm nailer...amazing! i need to get myself one. Using a hammer on the 3 inch nails gets pretty loud when hammering away with joists on each side of your head. Ear muffs also helped. One or 3 joists, no problem. Installing a deck sized project gets pretty tiring though.
On to change all my hangers now that I saw your video before my inspector comes…🤣
Great content!!
Now I know the proper way. About to put in a deck. Thanks.
Thank you. I stepped out on my deck (about 4 feet off ground) and it started to pull away at the house. I stepped back in quickly, and only one corner of the deck was like that. Looking underneath - NO JOIST HANGERS. This is the first video I came across in my search for confirmation that they are required. YEP. Mine have none. I find it odd even I knew they were required when the person who built mine had no idea what they were doing. NOW to see if I can buy these hangers and fix it. Thank you so much.
Be sure to check the Simpson Strong Tie SD Connector size chart to get the correct screw size for each piece of hardware. I’m using both LUS and LUC (concealed flange hangers) on my deck, and while the LUS hangers use both 1-1/2” and 2-1/2” SD screws, the LUC are spec’d with only 1-1/2” screws.
Liked and subscribed. Thank you
Thank you!
💋........Just a great video. If only all the internet were this good........👠
Your Right!
awesome im framming with this
Perfect !!
Thank-you Sir! Doing some touchup on my deck, and I wanna make sure I’m looking at the correct things.
🤠👮🏻♂️🇺🇸👍👻😉. B9USA Sr.
This dude helped me emenssly building my own 16X30 deck last summer. My biggest regret and honestly stupidity on my part was not checking for square. Thought I could eye it and when all was said and done we ended up having to angle some deck board.
Ahaha! Lesson learned! Especially on large distances, it is just impossible to eye ball it. You think you got it, but when you measure you are off by several inches. And then when you lay your boards with 3/16 gaps in between them, you quickly realize how wrong you were.
Nice video!
Love this explanation. Do you have any new videos on reinforcement for spas?
Pro video, well done.
Thanks for posting. I have a 2nd story deck on a new house that has 1 joist hanger with only the top holes on each side fastened. I needed to know how to correctly finish it out.
Excellent
great stuff
Great instruction video. Love how you explain the step-by-step details on decking installation. Excellent job. Thank you for all the great advice. 👍🏽
Great video😊
Thank you 😁
I have no need for this, but really enjoyed watching anyway.
Nice video. I actually just use a quick clamp to cinch it in, palm nail from bottom to top. But then again, I am not on the clock. Still pretty fast that way though.
Thanks I’m putting up a Simpson HGUS210-4 it’s for 4 , 2x10’s . I researched it special ordered it and now over a month later I can’t find my installers guide online for it 😡 I did find some other info stuff from them. But not what I had seen when I ordered it about the nailing on the Ledger flange. It has like 20 holes per side. I think that was to make sure you had enough area’s to miss other fasteners !
How do you pre-hang the joists before adding the joist hangers?
We toe screw the joists to the ledger and then add the hangers.
You can also add a cleat to the top of the joist and gravity hang the joist to the ledger
Geat tip using a 2.5" structural screw for the angled hole. I wish i would've seen the before I was half done with my 5th deck build. Oh, and hey, what is that lumber? The treated stuff i find is all trash, even going to lumber yards instead of the blue store and the orange store.
Thanks. Great instruction. Just makes me respect the professionals even more that work in the different trades and quality standards they work to.
Simpson makes alot of different bracket, I know you're busy man but would like to see how all Simson brackets are used. Thx drdeck
Dr. Decks, really appreciate the content. Trued reviewing comments and don't see an answer as to what technique you prefer to hold joists in place before attaching hangers?
I’ve seen the opposite. 1.5” structural screws on the face plate with 2.5” nails on the diagonal. But for speed and strength as a combo goal that method seems good.
For some reason there was a single joist in my 1955 house that was left without a hanger. So I installed this 2x10 hanger using 12 of those 2 ½ inch Simpson screws.
It was pretty easy and thankfully I didn't make any of the mistakes that were mentioned in this video. And since it was such old wood I predrilled each hole first to prevent any splitting.
if it survived 67 years without one, I'd say it really was not needed.
@@Boobtube. that particular joist was also cracked and needed to be sistered. Not sure if the lack of a hanger was related to the crack though
I didnt think joists hangers were around yet in the 50s but maybe that's around the time they started using them in some areas?
Its always hilarious how many people say "you need roofing shims for this"
IMO joist hanger should have a hole in the bottom for the first nail/screw to make sure it's tight to the joist. That would also make distributing the hangers much more efficient. You could fill a bucket with hangers and tack them along the full length of the ledger. Then go back with the nail gun/screw gun and finish them off.
Wow, that's actually a really good idea.
Interesting idea. However, if the joist does shrink, instead of pulling away from the hanger, now it would be held down by the hanger. Would that potentially make the deck surface uneven?
EXCELLENT
Nice Martinez!
Simpson Catalog tells what nails to use on all their hangers. And if you are using pressure treated wood all fasteners must be galvanized. Also they have a Nail Gun just for hangers that is faster,,, but Palm Nailers are a good alternative, especially for tight spots.
As a local inspector of deckses, I always perform a screw extraction for measuring to confirm that extra half inch is present. Yep, every single screw is inspected. Hate to see anyone cutting corners.
how did you hold the joists to the ledger before you put the hangers?
15ga finish nails
Very informative
I discussed using nails and screws on the same joists hangers with Simpson. They do not recommend mixing fasteners. They do not show load tables with mixed fasteners. Use one or the other and derate your deck depending on the length of fastener. This may have changed since your video.
Depends on the county inspector, they sometimes require self adhesive nails..
Also, helps to squeeze the hangers before putting them on because they are usually stretched out.
The bottom of the joist hanger being flush against the bottom of the joist seems like common sense. I'm slightly surprised to hear people are installing them correctly. It's not rocket science. The info on the screws and nails is very helpful.
Thank you!
Thanks for these super helpful videos. Did you ever use LUC hangers with concealed flanges? If so, how do make sure that the joists are flush in the end since you can't access the flanges to the ledger board after inserting the joist? However, they are used on my current deck and will have to rebuild it very soon.
New code requires tension ties, so no need for screws anymore. I actually put tension ties at each corner of the rim joist through the 4x4 rail post, which has carriage bolts to the rim joist. 2.5 x .148 Nails are fine.
Metabo...nice!
I'm building a60 ft long by 44..5 wide deck around my pool.5 feet high by myself didn't know where to start till now. Thanks ps wish me well
How do you attach the joists to the ledger before installing the hangers?
They look just friction fit?
Adjusting the hangers to the size of the joists makes sense. What happens on the other end of the joist where it sits on the beam? Won't they be different heights?
