Abstract: A shake jig which comprises a base member which supports an adjustable member and a releasable fastener which facilitates releaseable retention of the adjustable member in a desired relative position with respect to the base member. The base member is substantially planar and has a shake shelf for abutting against a surface of a shake to prevent further insertion thereof, between an installed topmost shake and an at least partially overlapped shake, and facilitate desired alignment of the shake jig with respect to the installed topmost shake. At least one projection is formed on a surface of the base member, adjacent a leading end thereof, to facilitate retention of the shake jig following insertion of the base member. The adjustable member has a ledger shelf for engaging with a ledger board to retain the ledger board in a desired horizontal orientation with respect to the shake shelf and to assist with installation of shakes.
