THATCH

Thatch is a natural material made out of palm or grass  that is cut, dried and handwoven into a practical roofing material.  A sustainable product in both natural and synthetic presentations, a popular product that is cost effective and a great insulator that helps regulate warm and cool air through different seasons. 

 

A great roofing structure for tiki huts,  bars, gazebos, umbrellas and other commercial and residential projects. 

 

BAJA THATCH

 

Traditional style, – handwoven in central Mexico. Does very well in windy areas as the weave permits air circulation. Staples easily to wooden framed structures. We use a double-layer for all of our structures to get that thick, plush look. Staple it (don’t tie it) onto structure. To calculate the sizing, plan so it hangs over the edge of your palapa a few inches.

 

Lifespan of 3 1/2 yearsin most California climates, and 5+ years in desert or dry climates like those in Nevada.
