Support pieces are structural components used to provide stability and strength to a structure. SLATS, BEAMS, bases, and ibars are all types of support pieces. SLATS are thin, flat pieces of material used to form a lattice or grid. BEAMS are long, straight pieces of material used to support weight. Bases are large, flat pieces of material used to provide a foundation for a structure. Ibars are metal bars used to reinforce a structure. All of these support pieces are essential for providing stability and strength to a structure.
