The Ellis Shoring method has save contractors time and money for decades.  Attach shore holders at desired distance apart along the purlin, with duplex nails, and they are ready to receive adjustable Ellis Shores. After the assembly of 'end shores and purlin' are raised and braced, it’s easy to "slip in" the in-between shores; only a few seconds are required. Instead of three men to erect a shore, just one man is needed.
