A method and apparatus for providing lateral support to a post includes a cage- like structure comprised of one or more modular cage units which are installed about the post. A plurality of guy wires are attached to the cage-like structure and anchored to the floor, ground, or the like, for providing lateral support to the post. Each cage unit includes a pair of main components with each main component including a pair of elongate generally parallel bar members. A lower connection bracket is attached to the bottom of each main component and includes a bolt hole for connecting the main component to a loading fame or other cage units. An upper connection bracket is attached to the top of each main component, and includes a bolt hole for connecting one main component to another main component placed on top thereof. The upper bracket also includes a pair of rod holes located near the free ends of the upper bracket for attaching a pivotable guy wire attachment fixture between two main components. The guy wires are attached to the attachment fixture and anchored to the ground for providing lateral support to the cage-like structure, and thereby to the post. A number of cage units may be stacked, one- upon-the- other to construct a cage-like structure of any desired height to provide lateral support to posts of various heights. In addition, the cage-like structure does not inhibit the upward extension of the post.
