ABSTRACT:
A foldable and portable support brace is provided for supporting masonry walls during construction. The brace includes a main frame, an optional ledge, and a support leg member. The ledge is a fold down ledge which is attached to a swinging ledge support. The support leg member includes a top section and a bottom section where the bottom section is attached to a length adjusting device. The length adjusting device has foldable periscope-type handles attached to an internally threaded fastener which rotates around a threaded screw. The threaded screw is pivotally connected to a footer base, which rests on the ground during use. The handle allows for easy lengthening and shortening of the support leg member, while also being foldable when not in use. The leg portion and ledge are collapsible into the main frame when the main frame is to be transported to another area or another site. Optionally, the main frame has an integral level.
