Hi ,
Mine is East facing site and for the 1st floor entry is also from East.We have around 8/10 in front of main door out of which
4/10 only is used for Balcony.I am planning to make it to 8/10.The RCC is done yesterday only for the 1st floor.However we cannot give a piller support to this as it looks ugly if i do so.I was just thinking to make it a hanging balcony with iron ropes etc.I appreciate any new ideas.
Regards,
Sudeendra

Re: Balcony Ideas
Hi ,Sudeendra
You can do it in various ways,if planned early it could have been a huge cantilever with out any pillar supports.I do this kind of structural slabs with out pillars in most my works.
You can ask your structural guy to use hanging columns or steel ropes ( very costly affair ,need specialist to execute the work)To do all these you need to check if the pillars taking the load of the existing 4'10" balcony is designed for extra cantilever load.The other options is to use a MS pillar designed in a good fashion (Pillar is not necessary to be straight )
