Prop Support
Prop supports are a robust and reliable way to secure any load bearing wall. The prop support is the industry standard fixing to secure walls while you are working below or around them. It can be fitted between a double skin brick cavity to support a wall structurally or for safe removal of lower brickwork.
Our Prop Support is fully compatible with our range of acrow props and can be used with our Mortar Raking Blade. We also stock a Prop Mate without a handle.

- Attach an Acrow prop to the strong boy.
Safety and use
When installing and using Strongboy wall support brackets, the following items of equipment are recommended:

Strongboy wall support brackets are ideally suited to load bearing for masonry walls but, as with all construction work, due care is needed to ensure safe use and application as circumstances and specifications will vary. If in doubt about how to use Strongboy brackets safely or to confirm quantities required for load capacity, consult with your structural engineer.
