Abstract: An apparatus for reinforcing a plurality of parallel spaced apart structural members to each other comprises a rigid member having first and second ends and is sized to extend diagonally across the plurality of adjacent structural members. Each structural member extends between first and second ends and has first and second edges. The apparatus further comprises a plurality of sockets extending from the rigid member. Each socket is oriented diagonally relative to the rigid member and sized and shaped to receive a first edge of one of the plurality of parallel spaced apart structural member therein.
