From http://www.northern.edu/wild/th241/sc96.html :

A jack is an uncovered three-sided flat containing a stile which is at least two-thirds the height of the flat, a bottom rail (one fourth the height of the flat), and a diagonal brace. Typically the jack is screwed (or hinged) to the back of the flat and secured to the floor with an L bracket or 2x4 block.

OR weighted with sandbags or stage weights.

"Standard stanchion" built from steel square tube. The two rounds tubes in the middle of the lower section mimics an arbor, allowing pig weight to be used for ballast.
