Tiki Hut Post Replacement
Replace rotten or damaged posts so your tiki hut stays safe—Florida statewide.
Wood posts in contact with soil or constant moisture can rot over time. We replace bad posts one at a time (or several) while keeping the rest of the hut intact, so you avoid a full rebuild when only the supports have failed.
We temporarily support the structure, remove the rotten post, and set a new pressure-treated or otherwise durable post so the hut is stable again. Thatch and framing can stay in place when the frame is otherwise sound.
When Posts Need Replacing
Signs include soft wood, visible rot at the base, leaning, or movement in the frame. Florida humidity and rain accelerate rot where wood meets the ground or stays wet. Replacing the post before the roof is affected saves time and cost.
Materials for Replacement Posts
We use pressure-treated lumber or other decay-resistant options sized to match or improve on the original. Proper footing and drainage help the new post last longer.
Keeping the Rest of the Hut Intact
We support the roof and adjacent framing during the swap so nothing shifts or gets damaged. Once the new post is set and tied in, we remove temporary supports and the hut is ready to use again.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many posts can you replace at once?+
We can replace one post or several. If multiple posts are rotten, we’ll support the structure and replace them in a logical order so the hut stays safe throughout the work.Will the thatch be damaged during post replacement?+
We work to keep the thatch and roof intact. In some cases we may need to loosen or remove a small section to access the post; we’ll minimize that and re-secure everything when done.How long does post replacement take?+
Single-post replacement often completes in a day. Multiple posts or difficult access may take longer. We’ll give a clearer estimate after seeing your hut.
