Abstract:

A holder apparatus () for safely holding one or more construction material panels () at a work site within a building under construction. The holder rests on flooring () and is locatable adjacent a selected wall structure () and includes a base () having a top load-bearing surface () canted at a small angle upwardly extending away from the adjacent wall. First and second stop rails () parallel to the wall define inner and outer stops for bottom edges () of a panel stack placeable onto the holder to be leaned against the wall (), to assure that their bottom edges seated on the top surface () are at least a safe distance from the wall to prevent toppling, and a maximum distance to assure against sliding of the bottom panel edges away from the wall. An anti-tilt frame () extends upwardly from the base beyond the second stop rail () and angled toward the wall to prevent toppling of the panels ().
