Abstract
A support member is a member for supporting a first outer wall surface material, and includes a support fixing part, a support extension, and an end surface support part. The support fixing part is fixed to a second surface of a wall base material provided in a manner of surrounding an opening, the second surface being located more to an outdoor side than a first surface adjacent to the opening. The support extension extends from the support fixing part to a region opposed to the first surface toward the opening side to support the first outer wall surface material from an indoor side. The end surface support part has an abutting surface that extends from the support extension to the outdoor side and abuts on one end surface of the first outer wall surface material on the opening side to support the one end surface.
