Angled posts for the patio?

[Arne56]

Have built an extension at an angle to the summer house with a deck in the corner. Since the extension is on a sloping rock, I have built a provisional scaffolding on the short side where the height is about 5.5 meters to the ridge.
Now I am considering extending the deck in the corner with a deck/balcony that goes around the house and then using the poles I have already anchored in the rock (for the scaffolding). Since the rock goes down into the ground just outside the poles, I wonder if it would work to angle the poles slightly away from the house to get a wider balcony?

If you tilt the posts, the load-bearing capacity decreases.

Sure, it works, but remember that it will be an outward force, so the deck must be firmly attached to the house.

It's probably better to make the posts like very large consoles. Wood and fastenings must be calculated properly.
