Our 5-6 inch diameter poles extend to a steel frame. The thatching is SynThatch synthetic thatch replacement. We've looked long and hard for a good synthetic thatch and finally found it. The synthetic thatch looks real, but has the benefit of low maintenance and longevity.

The top of the Synthetic Tiki 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.

Fire Retardant Pricing:
Fire retardant is used during the manufacturing of synthetic thatch, and thus is naturally fire resistant. There is no need for more fire retardant applications.

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.

Product ............................................ Additional Cost of Cedar
12' Synthetic Tiki Hut ........................... $N/A
16' Synthetic Tiki Hut ........................... $N/A

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.

Product ............................................ Additional Cost of Wood Preservative
12' Synthetic Tiki Hut ........................... $N/A(Light) ..................... $N/A(Dark)
16' Synthetic Tiki Hut ........................... $N/A(Light) ..................... $N/A(Dark)

Trim Options:
The upper assembly of the Synthetic Tiki Hut is welded steel. The thatch panels clip onto this frame without the need of extra trim.

Thatching:
Each Synthetic Palapa comes with one layer of thatch as a standard option. One layer of thatch is all that's needed on the Synthetic palapa.

12' Synthetic Tiki Hut ........................... $N/A(No Thatch)
