THATCH
Thatch is a traditional roofing material made from palm or grass, cut, dried, and layered to create a durable, tropical look. Today it's available in both natural and synthetic options-both designed to provide shade and help reduce heat buildup under the roof.
Thatch is a popular choice for tiki huts, outdoor bars, gazebos, umbrellas, palapas, and other residential or commercial shade projects.
