Questions
This hire pack is designed to temporarily support walls while you fit lintels, RSJs, or beams, making it easier and safer to remove sections of masonry.
The pack includes one steel prop and one Strongboy wall support, giving you everything you need for most small to medium structural support tasks.
You simply hammer the Strongboy’s blade into a raked mortar joint, then secure it with the adjustable steel prop underneath to hold the wall safely in place.
Yes, it’s easy to use and ideal for both DIY enthusiasts tackling home renovations and professional builders working on structural projects.
They’re essential when removing sections of brickwork, fitting a new lintel, installing an RSJ, or creating an opening in a load-bearing wall.
Yes, for longer openings or heavier loads, multiple supports spaced evenly along the wall provide greater stability and safety.
Yes, they’re suitable for both interior and exterior brick or block walls, provided the mortar joints are strong enough to hold the blades.
Yes, once the blade is positioned in the mortar joint, the steel prop can be quickly adjusted to the correct height using the screw mechanism.
No special tools are needed—just a hammer to insert the Strongboy and a wrench or hand strength to adjust the prop height securely.
No, it’s meant for temporary localized support during small to medium openings. For larger structures, multiple supports or professional consultation is recommended.
You should wear steel toe boots, protective gloves, and a hard hat to guard against falling debris or heavy materials.
It’s primarily designed for wall support, but steel props on their own can also be used for light ceiling or floor support in certain cases.
Adjust the prop until it’s snug and firm against the support point—tight enough to bear weight but not so tight that it cracks the wall.
Yes, both the prop and wall support are compact and can fit into a vehicle the size of an estate car or larger.
Basic understanding of load-bearing walls is helpful, but HSS also offers training courses to improve safety and confidence when working with structural supports.
