• a bracket coupled to the board, the bracket arranged to support an end of the prop at a load bearing position on the load bearing surface;
• a guide for guiding the prop to the load bearing position;
• wherein the bracket comprises an overhang to accommodate a foot of the prop when guiding the tube to the load bearing position;
• wherein the guide is formed as a slot formed from an edge of the overhang and dimensioned so as to engage a tube of the prop;
• wherein the bracket comprises a plurality of tracks, each track arranged to direct the prop to an alternative load bearing position;
• wherein the tracks have the same configuration as the slot;
• and
• wherein the edge of the overhang is continuous and also defines an access port for allowing a foot of the prop to pass for contacting the load bearing surface, wherein the access port defines a central hub having the slot and each track extending therefrom.
