Sawhorse bracket

摘要

A sawhorse bracket permits assembly of a heavy duty sawhorse from support lumber pieces that may be easily disassembled for transport and storage. The sawhorse bracket includes a cross beam bracket and two attached and opposing support leg brackets—all of channel-shaped body construction. Both the cross beam bracket and the pair of support leg brackets have retention members that may be utilized to selectively retain support lumber within the respective brackets. A web brace extends between the opposed leg brackets to provide additional lateral support and resist the spreading of the support legs when a load is being carried by the assembled sawhorse.
