Don't beat me up to bad guys but what if i stick with my 4" pipe and weld angle iron across the two ends and then from the center of the angle one support in the pond. There goes my cantilever.


I would also consider adding "Y" braces.... from the outside edges of the pond/pier down to the center support. Without them, I think it would still move around anywhere except right over the support.

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
