standard depth of installation when using concrete to anchor your palapa.

Fire Retardant:

Palapa Structures treats each piece of thatch, front and back, according to the
manufacturers' specifications. A Certificate of Fire Retardantcy will be issued, if
requested. You may present to inspectors when required. According to the lab testing data available the treated thatch archives a classified A rating. Fire retardant adds a clear coating to the thatch, leaving the surface slightly more reflective. Please see FAQ page for more information.

Wood Treatment:

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.

Thatch Roof Options:

Each African Reed Palapa comes with one layer of thatch with overlap is the standard option. One layer of thatch is all that's needed and possible on the reed palapa.

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

Rope Kit:
Twised Sisal Rope We use manila rope for all of our rope accessories. Manila rope has proved it's durability over many years by being the rope of choice for many outdoor and indoor applications. Some of the benefits of using this rope are that it is made of natural fiber keeping the overall natural look of the palapa. The rope is 1/4" or 1/2" and is purely for aesthetic appeal. Rope kit comes pre-cut but not pre-attached.
