Abstract
A cladding support device comprises a folded sheet metal body. The folded sheet method body includes a base wall, a top wall portion protruding out relative to the base wall, a side wall protruding from the base wall and having an upper edge adjacent the top wall portion; and a clamp on the top wall portion, the clamp including a substantially planar body with side edges extending between a coupled end to which the clamp is coupled to the sheet metal body and an outboard end and the clamp being positioned on the top wall with one side edge extending along the upper edge of the side wall.

A cladding installation support device comprising:
- a folded sheet metal body including:
- a base wall;
- a side wall protruding from the base wall and having an upper edge;
- a top wall portion protruding out substantially orthogonally relative to the base wall, the top wall portion including a clamp, the clamp including side edges extending between a coupled end to which the clamp is coupled to the folded sheet metal body and an outboard end, and the clamp having one side edge extending along the upper edge of the side wall.
A method of constructing a cladding support device, the method comprising:
- bending an L-shaped piece of sheet steel to create a base, a top wall portion extending substantially orthogonal from the base and a side wall extending substantially orthogonal from the base, such that the top wall portion is adjacent and extends along a top edge of the side wall and each of the top wall portion and the side wall have front edges opposite to the base;
- and
- bending a portion of the top wall portion into a clamp.
