Abstract: A bracket and method for releasably holding two concrete form walls, the bracket having a horizontal crosspiece with downwardly projecting legs at each end. The legs cooperate with flange means to embrace the form walls to resist lateral movement of the form walls before and while concrete is poured into the space created between the form walls. The bracket includes means to hold (1) the crosspiece above the concrete, (2) the form walls vertically, and (3) the form walls above the ground surface to establish the grade of the form walls.
