cantilever design

A cantilever design features a structure that is anchored at one end and extends outward without additional support beneath the overhanging section. Think of it like a diving board fixed at one end, projecting outward over a pool. This design allows for large spans and open spaces since no support is needed under the overhanging part. It relies on strong, well-engineered materials to handle the bending forces and maintain stability. Used in bridges, building balconies, and antennas, cantilever structures efficiently support loads while creating open, unobstructed areas underneath.
