A single-mirror small-size (1M-SST) Davies-Cotton telescope has been proposedfor the southern observatory of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) by aconsortium of scientific institutions from Poland, Switzerland, and Germany.The telescope has a 4 m diameter reflector and will be equipped with a fullydigital camera based on Geiger avalanche photodiodes (APDs). Such a design isparticularly interesting for CTA because it represents a very simple, reliable,and cheap solution for a SST. Here we present the design and thecharacteristics of the mechanical structure of the 1M-SST telescope and itsdrive system. We also discuss the results of a finite element method analysisin order to demonstrate the conformance of the design with the CTAspecifications and scientific objectives. In addition, we report on the currentstatus of the construction of a prototype telescope structure at the Instituteof Nuclear Physics PAS in Krakow.
