A support for construction material provides for the temporary support of elongate materials during construction projects or storage of the materials. The device comprises a generally U-shaped frame having a flat, planar base and opposite parallel planar arms extending upwardly and generally normal to the base. Each arm includes an elongate slot therein, with an axle having a series of rollers thereon, adjustably installed in the slots. One of the arms includes an additional roller at the uppermost end thereof, with its axis normal to the adjustable rollers extending between the arms. The opposite arm includes at least two nail slots, adapted to receive partially driven nails so the device may be temporarily suspended during use. The present support is used by driving a pair of nails into the building structure (rafter end or previously installed fascia board), hanging the support from the nails, adjusting the rollers to the proper height between the arms, and placing one end of the elongate material (rain gutter, etc.) on the rollers. A single worker may accomplish the above, and then install the opposite end of the gutter or other material while the present support holds the first end at the proper height. The present support may also be used to support articles by using a tripod or the like, or to support articles in storage while suspended from a wall, by using a mounting bracket which may be temporarily secured to the support, thus further increasing its versatility.
