Abstract
A portable and stackable post support for securely holding post like structures is formed in a hollow pyramidal shape. The post support has a sealable cavity for holding a suitable ballast material such as water or sand. A receptacle opening receives the post like structures and includes thumb screws for manually securing a post like structure in position. When filled with a ballast material, the post support provides a base for anchoring top heavy devices such as Tiki lamps. When the post structure is empty of ballast, it can be easily transported. Additionally, a plurality of post structures is easily stacked and stored even full of a ballast material such as sand.
