not sure if there is anyone here that would be able to help me out with this.

I built this a couple years ago for my wife

I would like to extend it forward to cover where the table sits. but if I do so it would put the one post directly beside our fire pit. Im wondering if its possable to extend it but only have one post at the other end preferable directly inline with the post on the left, so the "fourth corner" looks like its floating.


looking for professional help designing it because above all it needs to be safe. i can do all the rest of the work myself just need a plan to follow


is having the "third post" something like this possible to safely carry the load
