PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a supporting apparatus capable of easily supporting a supported member on the outside of a vinyl house without breaking through a sheet material covering the vinyl house.SOLUTION: According to the present invention, there is provided a supporting apparatus comprising a first member 10A and a second member 10B, each having a first portion 11 in a planner shape extending in an orthogonal direction X against a bottom surface 3C of a groove 3B of a sheet material fastening material 3 and extending in a longitudinal direction Y of the groove 3B. The first portion 11 functions as a support part for supporting a member to be supported and a second portion 12 continuously extended from one end of the first portion 11 in a width direction z of the groove 3B and engaged in the groove 3B. The first member 10A and the second member 10B are disposed such that their respective second portions 12 extend outward and face to each other in the groove 3B and their respective first portions 11 face to each other, thereby being engaged in the groove 3B.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1【課題】ビニールハウスを覆うシート材を突き破ることなく、ビニールハウスの外側に被支持部材を容易に支持することが可能な支持装置の提供。【解決手段】シート材留め条材3の溝部3Bの底面3Cに対して直交方向Xかつ溝部3Bの長さ方向Yに延びる平板状の第1部分11であり、被支持部材を支持する支持部として機能する第1部分11と、第1部分11の一端に連続し、溝部3Bの幅方向Zに延びて溝部3B内に係止される第2部分12とを有する第1部材10Aおよび第2部材10Bであり、溝部3B内に互いに第2部分12を外側にして第1部分11を向かい合わせに配置することにより溝部3B内に係止される第1部材10Aおよび第2部材10Bを有する。【選択図】図1
