Abstract A bracket for supporting surface coatings on tanks and similar buildings, this bracket extending perpendicularly out from the wall of the building and carrying at its outer end an essentially horizontal rail. This rail extends in front of and at a distance from the wall of the building to which there are attached a protection surface forming said surface coating. The invention resides in the arrangement of carrying arm arranged on said bracket and being vertically displaceable in relation to the same. The carrying arm is further, at its outer end, provided with at least one hook, this hook carrying a second horizontal rail, a lower row of protection sheets adapted to be arranged at said second horizontal rail.
