Single-Post Tiki Hut
One post, thatched canopy—compact tiki shade for Florida patios and pools.
Single-post tiki huts use one central pole to support a thatched roof. They take less space than multi-post huts and are a good fit for patios, pool decks, and smaller yards. We build them across Florida with synthetic or natural thatch.
They’re sometimes called tiki umbrellas or umbrella-style huts. The idea is the same: one post, a thatched top, and a small footprint. Installation is usually straightforward, and they can be set in the ground or on a deck when the structure allows.
Benefits of Single-Post Design
Less footprint, often simpler permitting, and lower material cost than a large multi-post hut. You still get shade and the tiki look. Ideal when you don’t need a full bar or large covered area.
Sizing and Placement
We size the canopy and post for your space and typical wind. Placement matters for sun angle and traffic flow—we can advise based on your layout.
Durability in Florida
We use a sturdy post and proper footing so the structure stays upright in wind and rain. Thatch choice (synthetic or natural) affects longevity; we’ll recommend based on your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size canopy can a single post support?+
We size each job for the post and wind load. Typical single-post canopies range from smaller umbrella-style to medium coverage. For very large coverage we’d recommend a multi-post hut.Can I put one on my existing deck?+
Yes, if the deck can support the load and we can secure the post properly. We’ll assess the deck and recommend any reinforcement.Do you need a permit for a single-post tiki hut?+
It depends on your locality. Single-post structures are often simpler to permit than large huts. We can advise on what’s typical in your area.
