Tiki Hut Thatching
New and replacement thatch for tiki huts across Florida.
Thatching is the roof layer that gives tiki huts their look and shade. We install new thatch on new builds and replace worn or damaged thatch on existing huts, using either synthetic or natural palm to match your preference and Florida conditions.
Synthetic thatch holds up well to UV, moisture, and wind with minimal upkeep. Natural thatch offers a traditional look and is still popular for residential and some commercial projects. We install both and can recommend the best option for your location and budget.
New Thatch on New Huts
For new construction we install thatch as part of the build. Roof pitch and overhang are set for drainage and wind, and the thatch is secured so it performs in storms and heavy rain.
Synthetic vs Natural
Synthetic lasts longer and resists mold, fire, and pests. Natural gives a classic appearance and can be re-layered or replaced when it ages. In high-sun or high-humidity areas, synthetic often needs less frequent replacement.
Re-Thatching Existing Huts
When existing thatch is faded, thin, or leaking, we strip the old material and install new thatch over the same frame. We can match the previous look or switch to synthetic for longer life.
