Abstract
A form supporting bracket for supporting a concrete form including an upright form supporting member, a lower prop leg connected to the upright member, an upper prop leg connected to the upright member at one end and a slidable member at its other end. The slidable member cooperates with the lower prop leg to slide therealong and includes a plurality of angle slots which mate with a plurality of oppositely angled slots on the lower prop leg. The angle slots are selectively fixed relative to one another by an elongated member which can be driven into the ground.
