Research; it's not just for geeks.
QUOTE: Originally posted by Don Z The vertical leg with the C clamp is a temporary brace. The strongest way to use these braces is to make the brace go down the wall a distance equal to the width of your layout deck. If your deck is 30" deep, you want the leg to go down the wall 30" also to form a right triangle. If you use equal length legs, your cuts will be at 45 degree angles. If they are of different lengths, then it's time to break out the trigonometry calculator.
