Natural Tiki Hut Thatch
Traditional palm thatch for new and existing tiki huts—Florida statewide.
Natural thatch—palm fronds and similar materials—gives tiki huts the classic, organic look many homeowners and businesses want. We install it on new builds and re-thatch existing roofs across Florida, with an understanding of how it performs in sun, rain, and humidity.
Natural thatch will weather and age over time. In Florida’s climate it may need re-thatching or repair sooner than synthetic. We’re upfront about maintenance and can advise when synthetic might be a better long-term fit.
The Natural Look
Nothing replicates the texture and color variation of real palm. For resorts, backyard retreats, and places where authenticity matters, natural thatch is still a strong choice.
Installation and Layering
We layer and secure natural thatch so it sheds water and holds up to wind. Proper pitch and overlap extend its life. We source quality material and install it with care.
Maintenance and Re-Thatching
Natural thatch may need re-thatching every several years in harsh exposure. We can re-thatch with natural again or switch you to synthetic when the time comes—your choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does natural thatch last in Florida?+
In Florida sun and humidity, natural thatch often lasts roughly 5–10 years before re-thatching or significant repair. Harsh exposure can shorten that; shaded or protected areas may last longer.Can you mix natural and synthetic?+
We generally recommend one or the other for a single roof so appearance and performance are consistent. We can discuss hybrid or transition options if you have a specific idea.Is natural thatch more expensive than synthetic?+
Initial cost can be similar; natural may need replacement sooner, so long-term cost depends on how long you keep the hut. We’ll quote both so you can compare.
