For me, I never bury 'em, cuz rotting could be a problem, so I use a post hole digger and place at least 1 - 4" x 4" treated post in concrete. I then drill thru the post into the tiki and ratchet in 3 - 10" bolts (for each post) clear into the tiki. Then I use a stepping stone or any flat stone to keep the palmwood from touching the ground. For the one I did at Minnie's Restaurant I used 3 posts. The Monster weighed about 2 1/2 tons so I wasn't taking any chances of it falling on anyone. I especially like that first burnt one on this page. Get in touch with your inner native!! Create Paradise!! [ Edited by: Jungle Trader 2007-02-24 22:05 ]
