**Cantilevered deck replacement Sapphire Beach**
Tricky one, due to bottom level being tenanted, we had to span our bearer 6m over the top of an existing carport. Whilst steel would have been the preferred choice, we were only 200m back from the beach and logistics regarding hot dipping weren't feasible.
Managed to use 150x150 posts with a 425x65 h3 beam kept in line with existing ground level privacy screen. Engineer approved of course!
Original cantilever measured only 1600 where we've extended to 2300 making it a much more usable area for a table and chairs.
Existing handrail has been reused for the short term.
Privacy screen added to one side.
A big thanks you to the Luke, Soli, Digby an Riva for helping with making everything run as smoothly as possible.
