What happens here

Prepare the second test specimen using an identical wooden support beam and vertical wooden post. Attach a metal joist hanger to the vertical post, then place the support beam into the hanger. Secure the support beam to the joist hanger, and the joist hanger to the post, using appropriate screws. This replicates a joist hanger connection.

Goal: Create a wooden joint using a joist hanger for strength testing.

Tools and materials

  • DeWalt Impact Driver DeWalt — Driving screws to secure the joist hanger
  • Joist Hanger — Providing structural support for the beam connection
  • Screws — Securing the joist hanger to the wooden members
  • Vertical Wooden Post — The vertical member supporting the beam
  • Wooden Support Beam — The horizontal member being attached
