A support prop is a device that sustains weight temporarily during construction or repair work. | |||

They are extendable so they can be adjusted to the height required. | |||

A support prop acts as an extra pair of hands when a ceiling or wall needs to be supported whilst work is being done.
Support props can be useful in wall repair or removal, lintel repair and many other projects. |

There are two main types of supports: reinforced adjustable steel props (used in large scale construction) and temporary support props (used for small scale projects and repairs as they cannot hold as much weight). | |||
