Support apparatus

A kit of parts for a roof support apparatus, the kit of parts comprising:

• a first elongate member having first longitudinal sides and a first elongate member longitudinal axis;
• a second elongate member having second longitudinal sides;
• a link member adapted to space the first and second elongate members such that the first and second elongate members are mutually parallel;
• a railing post adaptor including a roof support apparatus connector for securing the railing post adaptor to the first elongate member, the roof support apparatus connector including:
• a first connection portion arranged to engage, in use, with a first set of the first longitudinal sides;
• and
• a second connection portion movably mounted to the first connection portion and arranged to engage, in use, with a second set of the first longitudinal sides, wherein the second set is different from the first set, and the first and second sets each includes at least two longitudinal sides;
• a railing post having a railing post proximal end and a bracing leg pivotably connected at a bracing leg proximal end to the railing post proximal end, wherein the bracing leg has a connection member;
• and
• a railing connection portion extending from the roof support apparatus connector for detachably securing the railing post proximal end to the roof support apparatus via the railing post adaptor,
• wherein the railing connection portion includes first and second side walls spaced from each other, extending away from the roof support apparatus connector, and adapted to detachably secure the railing post proximal end therebetween,
• wherein at least one of the first and second sidewalls has defined therein a leg support opening for engagement with the connection member to secure the bracing leg at a predetermined angle relative to the railing post, and
• wherein the first and second connection portions are adapted to cooperatively substantially prevent rotation of the railing post adapter about the first elongate member longitudinal axis by engagement with the first and second sets.
