The picture gallery will show photos of palapas and thatch
being used in various ways. Some are from our customer installation,
some are pictures they sent us in an effort to make the item themselves.
Note:
We DO NOT provide construction for any of these items.
(In fact we did not make any of these
items, our customers send us these pictures with requests on how to make
them.) We will provide
you with the raw products and instructions on how to make the product.
We will give you tips on how to construct each item and where to get the
components to make them. On some of these items, you will have
to get local construction help. They are complicated and require some
form of structural engineering. Before you make these items, please
contact your local authorities/home owners association to confirm the
local regulations/restrictions.
(Even though you may not purchase the
raw products from us when using local construction contractors, it is
more important to us that you understand how to make your item and be
happy with the final product, we will help you with any information you
will need.
 )
