ABOUT THE “FRENCH” PROP
The french prop is a steel shoring system. It distinguishes itself from other light props for two main features:
The tubes that compose it are thicker and the presence of a cast iron sleeve.
This is the most common shoring system in France and in other French-speaking countries.
It is available in a painted version (red dipping paint) or hot-dip galvanized version.
Being resistant and economic, it suits any use when it comes to propping.
