The invention discloses a construction method of a high altitude large-span overhanging steel platform formwork. The construction method includes the steps of preparation of construction, construction of embedded parts, installation of primary beam, installation of a large corner single truss, installation of a bracing piece, installation of a secondary beam, laying of a steel plate, welding of an outer frame anti-skid positioning pile, building of an outer frame, installation of a cable-stayed bar, removing and the like. By adoption of the construction method, the construction problem of a structure-complex special-shaped large-span high altitude overhanging structure of hanging garden layer is solved successfully. Machining is simple, the construction is simple and convenient, the safety factor is high, the construction efficiency is high, the influence to a construction working face is extremely low, the influence to the construction period is low, the installation and removing construction are simple and convenient, materials can be repeatedly used for circulation, and the requirement for environmental-protection construction is met.
