I'm wondering if it's possible to create a high one legged 1.5 meter wide bench using 3/4 or 1 inch iron pipes (and fittings) with 3 or 4 mm thick walls. Basically, I want to have one continuous pipe unconnected at both ends. One end is behind the backboard and the other is underneath the footrest.

As you can see in the attached picture, I created a model out of wire and paper to help me better visualize it. It has a back, a seat, and a footrest.

It should support the weight of 3 adults. I'm afraid that the leg will have too much weight and one of the corners will fail. Would different diameter/thickness help achieve this simple design?

Feedback is much needed

Cheers

Edit 1: Added a side view picture of the model. As shown, the one leg is also tilted forward. This only makes thing worse. I'm starting to doubt the viability of this idea as is.
