Abstract
A joist hanger includes a mounting bracket and a joist retention member. The mounting bracket includes one or more vertical flanges, one or more horizontal flanges, and a pivot block extending in a first direction from the one or more vertical flanges. The pivot block includes one or more pivot features. The joist retention member is pivotally connected to the mounting bracket and includes first and second vertical support members. Each of the first and second vertical support members includes a pivot feature. The pivot features of the first and second vertical support members are configured to cooperate with the one or more pivot features of the pivot block to pivotally connect the joist retention member to the mounting bracket such that joist retention member can pivot about a generally horizontal pivot axis when the joist hanger is mounted on a wall.
