Abstract: A support device for supporting a rod or pole which is to be spaced above a prescribed surface such as the ground. The support device is substantially rectilinear in peripheral configuration. The support device includes substantially diagonal strut portions which are offset from the true diagonal of the rectilinear support device and which form a support area which receives the rod or pole to be supported. By placing the support device on different sides thereof, the support area and, thus, the rod or pole, is displaced a different distance from the surface.
