Ive built platforms/stands in the past and I have always used joist hangers for the floor joists. All platforms have been 2x6 treated wood. I need to build a couple more stands and while looking through the DIY threads, I haven't seen many - if any - platforms that have the hangers. Are they necessary? Does it depend on span of the joists? Or, weight of the hunters? I'm not little - about 325lbs and my son (11yo ~ 120lbs) will be with me. Probably going to build them 6x6 and be 4' off the ground.
Any advice on whether to use the hangers or not will be greatly appreciated.
