The spacer 10, particularly for temporary use in building construction, comprises an elongate body 12 with a truss connector 18, 20 at each end for receiving a first and a second roof truss respectively. The connectors, spaced apart by a predetermined distance (e.g. 300-1000mm, optionally 400mm), each comprise a clamp 30 with a jaw 34 for holding a roof truss in the connector. The clamps may be arranged to apply clamping force on a common axis parallel with the elongate body, which may comprise a base wall and a strengthening wall, optionally being a U-shaped section. Each connector may comprise a clamping arm 22 and optionally a further arm 24 for supporting the clamp. The jaw may be disposed within the truss connector, e.g., between the arms. The clamp may comprise a handle 36 connected to the jaw, optionally by a threaded shaft 32. The elongate body may be length-adjustable, e.g. between known predetermined distances.
