Default Tie to attach joist to beam above it

They are cheap enough you could put them on either side of each
joist
on both sides of the beam giving you a total of four 'straps' at
each
beam/joist intersection. With good size nails pounded into every
available hole would probably easily hold up the joists.
You could probably even bolt the two straps on either side of the
beam
and joist. **** Still I would be wary of such light duty
connectors*****.


That's the reason I suggested the pre-drilled angle iron for this
application.
