Aluminum cantilever pergolas
Shade without posts in the way.
Extruded aluminum beams anchored at one end and projecting out with no posts at the other, for shade without blocking the view.
Overview
About the Cantilever
A 4K Aluminum cantilever is an aluminum beam anchored at one end that protrudes out with no support at the other. The posts stay on one side, so the rest of the space stays open to the view.
Add a solid roof for full shade and rain coverage, or lattice for filtered light. Solid roofs use VEER™ or Twin Wall panels from the 4K Roof System.
The beams are extruded 6061-T6 aircraft alloy: not roll-formed, no steel insert, powder coated on Italian-made equipment to AAMA 2604. Like every 4K Aluminum structure, cantilevers are fully custom: no standard sizes, and each one is designed for its project.
Key features
What sets it apart
01
Posts on one side
Beams project from a single line of posts, leaving the other side clear.
02
Full shade and rain cover
A solid roof shades the whole space and keeps the rain off.
03
Built-in LED lighting
LED strips sit in 4K Aluminum beam light tracks, with a diffuser lens for even light.
04
Engineered for your site
Projection and layout are set by the design and site-specific engineering.
05
33 ft between posts
2″ × 10″ beams span up to 33 ft between two 8″ posts without support, using extruded beam connectors.
06
Fully custom
No standard sizes. Size, shape and layout are designed for the space you have.

Engineering
Engineered for your site
Every 4K Aluminum structure is engineered for where it’s built. How far a cantilever reaches depends on its design and the site, so we recommend site-specific engineering for every project, from our licensed partners, McPherson Engineering and Ammtec Consultants, so the design meets local wind requirements and building codes.
