Cantilever Shadeports

A cantilever is a rigid structural shadeport that extends horizontally and is only supported from a single side of the structure, through the use of bigger columns.

Advantages:

• No poles in front.
  
• Ease of accessibility.
• Aesthetically pleasing.
• Can be suspended over structures where further support is impossible.

Disadvantages:

• Maximum dimensions: 5m forward x 8m wide.
• Costly.
• Less structurally sound in storm conditions than fixed shadeports.
