Simpson Strong-Tie LU26-25PK - Joist Hanger, 2" x 6" 25pk (25pk)

These 2x6 joist hangers are adequate for my 2x6x12 joist for a loft 6ft off the ground. 23 total 2x6’s. Install these correctly and they will hold very strongly. A good buy, and a large local retailer offers ordering these thin versions for .04 more each plus 2 weeks delivery. Amazon delivery was only a couple of days…. Someone said in comments they aren’t commercial grade. Not sure where anyone installs 2x6 joist in a commercial build? These are strong.

It seems like every local lumber yard either only carries a few sizes of these hangers or, if they carry more, they charge a lot for them. I got these right away for a better price right to my door! Simpson has always meant 'Quality' in my book. Used by pros and loved by inspectors.

Better price than the box store

These units are about one third the cost of buying them in Lowes or Home Depot, but are about one half the gauge. I measured Lowes/HD ones at about 2 millimeters. These are about 1 millimeter. I am using them for bracing between fence posts, so I don't care about their load bearing capacity.

Perfect for building deck, cheaper than buying at one of the local stores plus delivered to my front porch.

Best Price I Could Find

They are sturdy and built like any joist hangers. They have the notch I like to hammer down to hold steady and it works well enough.
