SPECIFICATIONS: Lower Shore Members are composed of two Ellis Clamps with pivotal castings, permanently attached with threaded nails 2" from the top, 12” apart, c to c; upper shore member of sufficient length to obtain desired height; both lower and upper members of No. 1 Douglas Fir or Yellow Pine, free of heart center, stained and ends squared.
Length: For jobs requiring shores 20’ or less the lower shore member should be 7’ and the upper shore member long enough to reach desired height. For shores over 20’, we suggest putting the upper (or longer) member at the bottom and the lower shore member (with two clamps attached) at the top. By doing this, the bottom member can be braced at recommended intervals and adjustments can be made to the top member by workmen working off scaffold planks laid across the bracing. This eliminates removing several rows of bracing to make minor adjustments.
