Tiki style may have hit its hey-day in the '70s but now its popularity is on the rise again. For an authentic Polynesian feel right in your own backyard, you can order Tiki huts and Tiki bars online and have they shipped right to your door. Tiki
huts are characterized by a wood or bamboo frame and side panels, and thatched roof. Because they originated in tropical climates, Tiki huts are designed to withstand heavy rains and wind. In the heat of summer, the thatch also provides shade several
degrees cooler than canvas shade. Tiki huts are used on decks, patios or poolside, and large Tiki styles work as bars, seating areas, or spa covers. Some kits even come with electrical receptacles, fans, bar sinks, and lights, and can be assembled
yourself.

thatched roofing materials. You'll want to ensure this structure is properly designed, so it can safely hold the roof's weight, not blow over easily in high winds and be safe for people to lean upon.
