Secure Joist Hangers to Beam

What happens here

Begin by positioning a metal joist hanger against the wooden main beam or ledger board where a floor joist will eventually be seated. Ensure the hanger is oriented correctly and aligned with any layout marks, if present. Once positioned, firmly press the nose of the nail gun into one of the designated nail holes on the joist hanger. The video shows the operator holding the nail gun steady and driving a nail through the hanger into the wooden beam. This process is repeated for each pre-punched nail hole on the hanger, typically alternating sides or locations to ensure an even and strong attachment. Observe the video at 0:00.600 where the first nail is driven, and the subsequent rapid firing of nails to secure the hanger. The worker continues to secure multiple joist hangers along the beam. The specific nail gun used appears to be a Ridgid brand framing nailer or a specialized positive placement nailer, designed for these types of connectors.

Goal: Fasten metal joist hangers to the main deck beam for joist support
