🏡 New Tiki Hut Construction
Tiki huts are more than decorative features — they’re functional outdoor living spaces that offer shade, atmosphere, and a true sense of Florida living. A properly built tiki hut adds comfort and character to any space while serving as a visual centerpiece.
We build:
- Backyard tiki lounges for private relaxation
- Poolside shade huts for cool comfort after a swim
- Large outdoor pavilions for entertaining guests
- Dining covers and entertainment huts for commercial or private use
- Tiki bars for homes, restaurants, resorts, or pool areas
Every tiki hut is custom-built on-site using traditional wood framing and hand-laid natural palm thatch. These are not cookie-cutter kits — they’re expertly crafted structures tailored to your space and your goals.
Our tiki huts are engineered to withstand Florida’s weather conditions, offering lasting durability against heat, sun, wind, and rain.
🌊 Poolside Structures & Outdoor Upgrades
In Florida, the pool area is often the heart of the home. We specialize in adding functional, stylish structures that make poolside spaces more comfortable, beautiful, and usable year-round.
Our team builds:
- Tiki-covered seating areas for outdoor dining and lounging
- Freestanding or attached shade pavilions
- Luxury cabanas with privacy screens and storage
- Outdoor bars and service counters
- Integrated walkways, steps, or slab bases for added safety and style
Whether you have an existing pool or you’re working with a pool contractor, we coordinate construction for seamless results.
