A bracket has outwardly projecting support arms for use in installing a panel of sheet material, such as drywall or sheet rock, on a wall frame. The bracket has a base with one or more through-holes for temporarily attaching the bracket to a vertical stud of the wall frame. The support arms of the bracket extend horizontally from the bracket to support the lower edge of a panel of sheet material. By using a pair of brackets, an installer can position and support a large panel of sheet material at an elevated pre-assembly location on the wall frame without the help of an assistant. After the brackets have been attached to the wall frame, a panel of sheet material is installed by first resting the sheet on the support arms of the brackets and then positioning and fastening the panel to the wall. The brackets can then be removed and be reused to install a new panel of sheet material over another area of the wall frame. The bracket includes a flange that can be easily grasped by either hand while installing or removing the bracket.
