Step-by-step instructions
Hardware

Our 6 inch diameter poles extend to a 2" diameter wood frame. The synthetic thatch materials are a great alternative to natural thatch. We looked long and hard for a good synthetic thatch and finally found it. The synthetic thatch looks real, but has the benefit of low maintenance and longevity 20+ years.

Palapa sizes are a rough estimate because of the following. Your 7x14 foot palapa will have a 6 foot x 13 foot frame and we estimate the thatch to overhand the frame by 6 inches on all sides. If you were to measure from one side of the palapa to the other including the thatch you should measure around 7 feet x 14 feet. We estimate all of the Palapas to have a 1 foot overhang. All our Palapas will have a frame 1 foot smaller then the advertised overall size of the palapa.

The two pole palapa are in the shape of an oval and the 2 posts beneath are placed under the peaks of each half round end.

The post spacing is measured from the center of the pole to the center of the other pole.

This diagram shows the main posts extending approx. 2 ft. below ground level, the standard depth of installation when using concrete footings to anchor your palapa. 12 foot poles usually needed for this type of installation.

Fire Rated Thatch Upgrade:

Fire rated thatch is made by the thatch manufacturer by adding/changing the ingredients. Labs test the thatch according to the requirements under the specific classification. Palapa Structures does not guarantee or warranty the fire ratings of the thatch or ability of the thatch not to catch fire.

Wood Treatment Upgrade:

Treating lumber provides long-term resistance to organisms that cause deterioration. It can extend the productive life of lumber by five to ten times. Wood that is exposed to moisture or soil for sustained periods of time will become weakened by various types of fungi, bacteria or insects. Both the light and dark stains provide similar amounts of protection for the wood. Darker color will protect wood better from UV rays. Clear treatment penetrates into the wood to protect from the inside out and is not a top coat and will still allow the wood to weather. If you add a stain treatment to your cart please specify color of stain in the notes area during checkout. To add to cart simply click on the listed price below.

Thatch Roofing:

Each Synthetic Palapa comes with enough thatch to cover the structure. One layer of thatch is all that's needed or possible. Palmex thatch kits include enough thatch for double stacked thatch for the first row only.

Do you need extra thatch to cover an existing structure or other project? Follow this link to the Synthetic Thatch Page.

Rope Kit:
Twised Sisal Rope We use natural manila rope for all of our rope accents. Manila rope has proved it's durability over many years by being the rope of choice for many outdoor and indoor applications. The rope is 1/2" and is purely for aesthetic appeal. Rope kite comes pre-cut but not pre-attached.

Do you have other ideas you want to try and just want uncut rope? Follow this link to the Rope Page. Many styles and sizes to chose from.
