Palm Thatch
The rustic nature of palm thatch is timeless. Palm thatching is economical and is our most widely used form of tiki hut and tiki bar thatching. Palm fronds are used to thatch huts in South East USA and Caribbean as well as Asia. Life span is generally 4-8 years depending on batten spacing and closeness of the palm fronds.

Synthetic Thatch Panels
Synthetic Thatch is a great alternative to natural thatch and can be used on any structure. The Advantages: Will last for 20-30 years (compared to 2-3 for natural thatch), is pre-fire retarded, UV resistant, maintenance- and bug- free, and is light enough to handle effectively on a roof. Our clients in California and the Caribbean love the synthetic option because they can customize the appearance and color of each panel to get the look they want.
