Abstract

A pipe support for supporting a pipe section above a ground surface, the pipe support including an upper support surface and at least one sidewall extending from the upper support surface to a base member. The upper support surface and the at least one sidewall form a hollow interior. The pipe support further includes a saddle formed in the upper support surface, the saddle recessed within the support surface to support a pipe therein. The saddle includes a first end and an opposed second end such that at least one of the first end or the second end angularly extends toward the base member.
