Top view of Tiki Hut diagram
Our 6 inch diameter poles extend to 2-2.5 inch diameter round pine rafters. The palm thatch roofing is hand woven Mexican palm thatch rounds that are easy to attach and maintain.

The top of the Palm Hut is round and the legs beneath form a square.

The leg spacing is from the center of the leg to the center of the other leg.

 

Pole spacing has been designed to maximize your space in the shade. The poles have been set to the very outer edge of the roof frame. If you would like to have the pole spacing closer together, in most cased this can be easily changed with no additional customization charges. The pole spacing for the oval Tiki Hut palapas can be changed with some limitations. The width distance can be shortened (see above) but the length can not; unless the whole roof length is changed.

Palapa sizes are an a rough estimate because of the following. Your 12 foot palapa will have a 11 foot frame diameter and we estimate the thatch to overhand the frame by 6 inches on all sides. If you were to measure from one side of the palapa to the other including the thatch you should measure around 12 feet. We estimate all of the Palm Palapas to have a 1 foot overhang. All our Palm Palapas will have a frame 1 foot smaller then the advertised overall size of the palapa.

General Tools and materials needed for installations:

Usually at least 2 people
Drill with screwdriver bit
Free standing ladder

4 (or 5) out of 5 - This means that this type of palapa is one of the more difficult to set up.

Fire Retardant:

Palapa Structures treats each piece of thatch, front and back, according to the
manufacturers' specifications. A Certificate of Fire Retardantcy will be issued, if
requested. You may present to inspectors when required. According to the lab testing data available the treated thatch archives a classified A rating. Fire retardant adds a clear coating to the thatch, leaving the surface slightly more reflective. Please see FAQ page for more information.

Wood Type:

Pine is a tough, strong, maintenance-free building material used in landscape
construction for its natural appearance and adaptability to a variety of architectural styles. It is used in many outdoor applications such as, framing, paneling, corral poles, utility poles, and railroad ties.

Cedar is known for it's decay-resistance. The wood is used for purposes requiring resistance to weather, such as roof shingles. Cedar wood also naturally repels insects. If you order the cedar all wood in the order that would normally be pine will be changed to cedar i.e. ribs. Only a very small supply of cedar is kept in our inventory. It may take an additional 4-6 weeks to get a cedar palapa if we need to order more cedar. Please call for availability if you need your palapa promptly.

Wood Treatment:

Treating lumber provides long-term resistance to organisms that cause deterioration. It extends the productive life of lumber by five to ten times. Wood that is exposed to moisture or soil for sustained periods of time will become weakened by various types of fungi, bacteria or insects. Both the light and dark stains provide similar amounts of protection for the wood. Darker color will protect wood better from UV rays. Custom colors available; to order online purchase the dark and contact us right away to change the color. If you select to have the wood treated all the wood will be treated.

Rib Options:

Our redwood ribs are 1 ½" wide x ¼" thick and weigh less than 1 pound each. Although they're small in size the advantage is they resist decay. The redwood ribs come standard on all Palm Palapas up to 14' in diameter. These pieces require that they be individually connected to the pine frame unlike the pine ribs.

Our Pine ribs are custom made and help make the installation of a palapa easier. The redwood ribs rest on top of each rafter, whereas the pine ribs are wedged between each rafter, helping to space them correctly. The pine is 1" thick and is cut out of our round stock; this is done to match the round rafter and main posts. Each piece is connected the the adjacent piece using a webbing material shown below. This upgrade seems to be a much sturdier option compared to the redwood (1" thick vs. 1/4" thick) If you have chosen the cedar option above and you also want the pine style ribs add it to your cart as pine and we will upgrade them to cedar.

Rope Kit:
Twised Sisal Rope We use twisted sisal rope for all of our rope accessories. Twisted sisal rope has proved it's durability over many years by being the rope of choice for many outdoor and indoor applications. Some of the benefits of using this rope are that it resists sunlight, is made of natural fiber, and is biodegradable. The rope is 1/4" and is purely for aesthetic appeal. Rope kite comes pre-cut but not pre-attached.
