Main pole Length:

Wood Selection:
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.

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 the same amount of
protection for the wood. The only difference is the cost of the dark coloring.

Trim Options:
Because of its impressive resistance to decay, redwood was extensively used for railroad
ties and trestles throughout California. Redwood burls are used in the production of table
tops, veneers, and turned goods. The redwood pieces we use are definitely not the size
or weight of railroad ties!

Our redwood pieces are 1 ½" wide x ¼" thick and weigh less than 1 pound each. Although
they're small in size, they sill resist decay. The redwood trim comes standard on all Palm
Palapas up to 14' in diameter.

Pine trim is custom made and helps make the installation of a palapa easier. Whereas
the redwood trim rests on top of each rafter, the pine trim is wedged between each rafter,
helping to space them correctly.
