2 Questions 1) Will I be able to use this on old wood joists? Some of my joists are 2" or 2.25" or 2.5" and not the nominal 1.5" that we find in 2bys today. 2) Will 2" 10d Common nails work on these?

Asked by: Brian

Simpson makes hangers for rough sawn wood which may work for you. They are bigger.

do you have to use nails or can you use screws?

Asked by: Mark

You can use either screws or nails. Just make sure you use 3" or longer screws for the diagonals. Check out the Simpson screws, too.
