Building a Tiki Bar: Bamboo Thatch Wall Boards, A must for a tropical interior design.

Bamboo Thatch Wall Boards, A must for a tropical
interior tiki design.

Bamboo thatch wall boards really give a tiki bar a
authentic look and feel. If you are building a tiki
bar or tropical getaway, then you should really
look into getting bamboo thatch wall panels.


The panels are very easy to install. To install
bamboo thatch panels you just roll them out, then
attach to the wall with a heavy duty stapler.
It's really that easy.

They usually come in 4x8 panels or rolls.
You can cut the bamboo panels down to fit.

You can keep the seams of the panels exposed
or you can use bamboo pole halves to cover the
seams if you like.

There are many different types, colors and sizes
available for purchase.

So you are finally ready to join the ranks of people such as Frank Sinatra who have or have had a tiki hut in their backyard. Before you get started though, you must bear in mind that this style of construction is truly an art form. The good news is there is tons of research material that you can now access on the Internet to help you with your build tiki hut project.

Acquiring Building Matrials One great idea is to start out by looking at other tiki huts, either around the area that you live in or online. Also, bear in mind if you plan on building your tiki hut yourself that many of the materials that you need can't be purchased at your local hardware or lumber store and may need to be special ordered.

Local Building Codes -Something to Consider Another thing that you will want to bear in mind is that your tiki hut must be able to pass county code inspections. This means that if you have a picture in your head of a really cool tiki hut made from drift wood and bamboo, you may have to build it without permits or inspections. Adhering to Building Engineering Standards This is because county engineering standards are based off of common materials such as lumbar that you can buy at your local hardware store. When you go to get your building permit and show them plans for a building made from bamboo and driftwood logs they will simply laugh at you.

A Few Final Thoughts However; there are methods for making common materials such s steel piping look like bamboo posts. Also, you can wrap 2x4 and 2x6 posts in rope for a great pacific islands look. Also, take into account that installing a leak proof thatch roof does require some knowledge, so you will definitely want to look into this aspect of building your tiki hut as well.

We had a chance to test these out at the tiki bar this weekend.
I was impressed overall.  They are not as bright as a real tiki torch,
and do not keep the bugs away. But they are nice looking, do provide
great mode lighting, and you do not have to worry about buying
tiki torch fuel, or concern yourself with a fire hazard.




SPECS:
  • Charging Time: 4-5 hours
  • Hours of Operation: 12 hours
  • Real woven bamboo design
  • Flickering LED creates simulated flame effect
  • Automatic on/off at dusk and dawn
  • Fast charging Ni-Cad rechargeable batteries
