With all the fancy substitutes for wooden sawhorses, the real thing is sometimes overlooked. The sawhorse shown in the drawing is easy to build and sturdy enough to carry heavy loads. You can pound one together in about 20 minutes, so you don’t need to worry about leaving them on the site, unattended at night.
The sawhorse is built entirely of 2x4s, with whatever dimensions suit you best. The two pieces assembled as an inverted T give it rigidity, allow the legs to flare equally, and provide a sturdy nailing surface.
