Our 5-10 inch diameter poles extend to 2-2.5 inch diameter pine rafters. The
thatch is hand woven Mexican rain-cape thatch and comes in 2* easy to install pieces
up to 16 ft. diameter structures. (*2 unless standard option is changed)

Palapa sizes are an a rough estimate because of the following. Your 7 foot palapa will have a 6 foot diameter 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 approximately 7 feet. We estimate all of the Palm Palapas to have a 1 foot overhang. All our Palm Palapas will have a frame 1 foot smaller then the advertised overall size of the palapa.

General Tools and materials needed for installations:

Usually at least 2 people
Drill with screwdriver bits
Free standing ladder
Level
Wheelbarrow and shovel (depending on main pole installation method)
Cement (depending on main pole installation method)
* Sockets and wrench

Installation Difficulty:

2 out of 5 - This means that this type of palapa
is one of the easiest to set up and enjoy.
*Note: Installation difficulty increases proportionally with the size of palapa.

Basic Installation Instructions

  1. Dig a hole in ground 12'' in diameter or core a hole into your bar surface 5-10 inches in diameter (depending on palapa size) and place main pole in hole
  2. Connect pre-assembled rafters to main pole
  3. Attach composite fascia trim to ends of rafters (makes structure circular)
  4. Place wood ribs over rafters (these keep the thatch up between rafters)
  5. Attach thatching to roof frame

This diagram shows the main pole extending approx. 2 feet below ground level, the
standard depth of installation when using concrete to anchor your palapa.

Pole length does not affect the base price of the 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 Type:

Pine is a tough, strong, maintenance-free building material used in landscape
construction for its natural appearance and adaptability to a variety of architectural styles. It is used in many outdoor applications such as, framing, paneling, corral poles, utility poles, and railroad ties.

Cedar is known for it's decay-resistance. The wood is used for purposes requiring resistance to weather, such as roof shingles. Cedar wood also naturally repels insects. If you order the cedar all wood in the order that would normally be pine will be changed to cedar i.e. ribs. Only a very small supply of cedar is kept in our inventory. It may take an additional 4-6 weeks to get a cedar palapa if we need to order more cedar. Please call for availability if you need your palapa promptly.

Wood Treatment:

Treating lumber provides long-term resistance to organisms that cause deterioration. It extends 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. Custom colors available; to order online purchase the dark and contact us right away to change the color. If you select to have the wood treated all the wood will be treated.

Rib Options:

Our redwood ribs are 1 ½" wide x ¼" thick and weigh less than 1 pound each. Although they're small in size the advantage is they resist decay. The redwood ribs come standard on all Palm Palapas up to 14' in diameter. These pieces require that they be individually connected to the pine frame unlike the pine ribs.

Our Pine ribs are custom made and help make the installation of a palapa easier. The redwood ribs rest on top of each rafter, whereas the pine ribs are wedged between each rafter, helping to space them correctly. The pine is 1" thick and is cut out of our round stock; this is done to match the round rafter and main posts. Each piece is connected the the adjacent piece using a webbing material shown below. This upgrade seems to be a much sturdier option compared to the redwood (1" thick vs. 1/4" thick)

Each Palm Palapa comes with two layers of thatch as a standard option. Having multiple layers of thatch helps the thatch to last longer, provides better shade and water protection as well as enhancing the overall look.
