Abstract
An outrigger assembly includes at least one support unit including a first elongated support arm and a second elongated support arm cantilevered and secured to the first support arm. A joist-supporting arm is removably engaged with the front end portion. The assembly further includes an upper support arm cantilevered and secured to the first support arm. A support member having opposed end portions is secured thereto and to the first support member. The upper support arm includes a plurality of L-shaped members mated along an edge thereof. An elongated board is positionable between adjacently disposed rear end portions. The front end portion exerts an upward force against the work area joists while the upper support arm exerts a downward force against a top surface of the work area such that the forces become balanced.
