Synthetic Tiki Hut Thatch
Durable, low-maintenance thatch for tiki huts across Florida.
Synthetic thatch looks like natural palm but is made from materials that resist UV, moisture, mold, and pests. We install it on new tiki huts and when re-thatching existing roofs across Florida. It typically lasts longer than natural thatch with minimal upkeep.
Florida sun and humidity are tough on natural materials. Synthetic holds its color and shape better over time and doesn’t require the same level of replacement or repair. It’s a popular choice for residential and commercial huts.
Why Choose Synthetic
Long life, fire resistance, and no mold or pest issues that can affect natural thatch. It’s available in several colors and styles so you can match or refresh the look of your hut.
New Builds and Re-Thatching
We use synthetic on new construction and when replacing worn natural thatch. The installation process is similar: the material is secured to the roof frame in layers so it sheds water and stands up to wind.
Commercial Use
Many commercial tiki huts use synthetic because of its durability and fire ratings. We can specify products that meet local or insurance requirements where applicable.
