- Dig a hole in ground 18''-24 in diameter or core a hole into your bar surface 6-8 inches in diameter (depending on palapa size) and place main pole in hole
- Connect pre-assembled rafters to main pole
- Attach composite fascia trim to ends of rafters (makes structure circular)
- Place wood purlins/ribs over rafters (these keep the thatch up between rafters)
Attach thatching to roof frame
**Much More detailed instructions come with kit***
Warning: New natural palm grass thatch (Tahitian & Mexican) has lots of dust and oils on them or in them and should be rinsed thoroughly before or after installation to prevent staining of concrete, grout, or other porous material that the runoff will encounter. It is highly recommended that all porous surfaces including the wood of a structure be sealed to prevent staining even if thatch is washed or rinsed.
