frame and the ground this angle is present to provide support for the structural member the fact that the legs are placed in the channels of the frame at an angle with respect to the frame keeps the frame from sliding down along the length of the post the legs are inserted in the channels such that at least a 30 degree angle and have a maximum of 70 degrees with respect to the bottom edge of the frame and ultimately the ground however the preferred angle is approximately 45 degrees in addition the angled legs once secured at the ground will support the post via their connection to the frame the frame being attached to the post this will hold the post in a vertical position while workers back fill the hole with concrete dirt or other material an exemplary temporary support for a fence post is shown in fig1 fig1 shows a frame 10 that may be made of sheet metal or other similar material such as molded plastic that will be temporarily attached to a fence post the fence post may be a typical 4 u2033 by 4 u2033 by any length fence post or similar structure that needs to be temporarily held in an upright vertical position for illustrative purposes the fence post is shown as a standard square fence post in fig3 the frame 10 is angled along its length in its midpoint 12 this angle u03b1 is approximately 90 degrees to simulate the corner of the fence post.
