We have a variety of tiki huts with different kinds of thatch that will last up to 7 years or longer even in snowy climates. How long before I need to replace the thatch roof on my hut? Depending on many things including weather, sun, wind, etc, most of our thatch lasts 5-7 years outdoors, indefinitely indoors. Thatch is a natural product and it will breakdown over time. The thatch is simply removed off of the top of the hut and it will be ready for your order of new thatch. How are tiki huts different than umbrellas? Tiki huts are made to withstand the high winds and weather that umbrellas just can't handle wind flows through the thatch , unlike a traditional roof They also have a higher r-value than even a shade tree so they are typically 5-10 degrees cooler. There's no need to keep replacing those flimsy umbrellas year after year. When you forget to roll them down. |
