My deck is about 10 years old. Its legs are rather tall and I know tall 4x4s are notorious for twisting and bending. A lot of the legs twist at the foot, a couple have decent bows to them. I'm concerned about safety and priority. The deck is not under load and never has been or will be by anything heavy. The top of the deck is not heaving or bowing. All the posts from the 4x4s are level and straight. The deck is secured well to the house with no indication of separation.

What do ya'll think? Thank you in advance for any advice.
