A shoring post suitable for use with ledger frames uses node sleeves which surround
the shoring post. Preferably, the node sleeves are an extruded component with a
center cavity that closely conforms to the exterior of the shoring post. The node
sleeves are secured in a manner to maintain the center of the shoring post unobstructed.
In a preferred form, the node sleeves are mechanically fastened to the shoring post.
