Our 6 inch diameter poles extend to 2 inch diameter pine rafters. The thatch roofing is hand woven Tahitian thatch.

Palapa sizes are an 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 12 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 8 feet x 15 feet. We estimate all of the Tahitian Palapas to have a 2 foot overhang. All our Tahitian Palapas will have a frame 2 feet smaller then the advertised overall size of the palapa.

The shape of the two pole palapa is in the shape of an oval and the legs beneath are placed under the peak of each half round end.

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

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 Upgrades:

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 preservative 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. Clear preservative and stain can be combined for superior protection. If you add a stain treatment to your order please specify color of stain in the notes area during checkout i.e. cedar etc.
