Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus and method for providing a temporary spread footing for supporting a variety of different vertically extending structures. The apparatus includes a frame with a top and bottom. The frame can have a substantial space or void in between the top and bottom into which weights o r devices can be placed. A connection on top of the base removably connects to the structure to be supported. Outriggers could also be used to substantiall y increase the overturning moment resistance of the base. The outriggers can b e removable or retractable so that for transportation, the base has minimum dimensions. The method includes pre-determining the needed weight and overturning moment resistance for a particular application and transporting the base to the site and thereafter adding weight and adjusting outriggers t o match the pre-determined needed overturning moment resistance.
