sawhorse

Beam with legs

A sawhorse is a four-legged frame used to support wood for sawing, or to hold planks as a temporary work surface.

Sawhorses typically come in pairs: He set up two sawhorses and laid a sheet of plywood across them.

They're common on construction sites and in workshops, often collapsible for storage.
