We called our local pool company that specializes in concrete pools and they are totally into this idea of a Tiki/South Pacific themed pool area. They've already done pools with rocks and waterfalls and statues so this is a natural for them. We're planning installation for next spring so we have lots of time to figure out where the actual Tiki comes from. I don't think they can do that but from the pictures you've posted here, I bet we can figure it out. Keep'em coming! Ok, I have an idea. Perhaps a long shot. Seeing as you are in SE Penn, you are probably no more than 3 hours from the DC area where I reside. I have made a couple of visits to a garden center just over the Potomac in Virginia. It specializes in Bonsai and other Asian plants and things. Much to my delight, they also carry 3 or 4 different size Moai statues. They are made out of concrete and are in 2 or 3 different color shades. The biggest is probably 2 1/2 feet and is heavy as hell. Perhaps you could bore a hole through one and then you would be good to go. I was just there three hours ago and the biggest would probably fit in well on your rock platform. If you need more info, let me know. You could always call them and explain what you are trying to do.
