A floating support arrangement 1 comprises at least three support legs 2 and 39, each support leg comprising a top end for holding a load 6 and a bottom end opposite said top end comprising a float 3. The support legs are arranged relative to the load such that said support legs are under compression and tend to be forced away from each other at their bottom ends when in use. A plurality of flexible tension members 5 connect the at least three support legs at or close to said bottom ends. The tension members may be ropes, wires or chains. The floating support arrangement may be used to support a net or cage for fish farming, a marine observation room and/or a restaurant, a wind turbine or a carrier beam (28, Fig 7) for a road or railway track.
