I recently bought a tiki (6'6" tall and 150 lbs) and it's very unstable. I didn't realize how unsteady it was until I started staining him. It looks like the footing is smaller than the upper part making it unstable. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make the footing wider for stability? Thanks for the help. Aloha there is no where near enough information here to properly answer this question. why is it smaller? material loss? if so ,was it cut or rot? if cut is it still solid?if rot ,how bad?can it be stablized? what is the material ,cedar?,palm?,cypress ?
