Step-by-step instructions

The Tahitian Palm Thatch lasts outdoors approximately 6-10 years depending on the climate. If there is a lot of humidity, wind or rain, your thatch will last closer to the lower end of the spectrum. You can purchase replacements under Thatch Roof Materials & Extras - Tahitian Palm Thatch. Tahitian palm thatch is very thick; each panel is 2 palm fronds thick and tightly tied together. When installed the thatch overlaps they row beneath and essentially forms a 4 layer thick roof(much thicker than a 4 layer thick Mexican Palm thatch roof.) When installed properly the roof will be very close to 100% waterproof.

The 6 inch diameter poles extend to 2 inch diameter pine rafters. The thatch is hand woven Tahitian palm thatch and comes in 2 foot x 3 foot panels and 1 roof top cap.

Palapa sizes are a rough estimate because of the following. An 8 foot Tahitian palm palapa will have a 6 foot diameter frame and we estimate the thatch to overhand the frame by about 12 inches on all sides. If you were to measure from one side of the palapa to the other including the thatch you should measure approximately 8 feet. We estimate all of the round Tahitian Palm Palapas to have a 2 foot overhang. All our round Tahitian Palm Palapas will have a frame 2 foot smaller then the advertised overall size of the palapa.

Installation Difficulty:

2 out of 5 - This means that this type of palapa is moderately difficult to set up.
*Note: Installation difficulty increases proportionally with the size of palapa.
