That's an insane amount of work
m Down here in Florida every tiki hut I look at has those spaced about 10 inches apart and they twist them to revolutions so that the leaves are folded
Fascinating! Truly interesting and a work of beauty! Thank you for this presentation.
Looks pretty cool! I find it interesting how different it looks than the reeds used for houses like mine. What is maintenance like on huts like this? Many Japanese covered up their thatched roofs with metal due to the ongoing expenses. It's sad but understandable.
And where do you legally harvest so many palm fronds locally? It's obvious that they are very locally grown because they are so green.
Even in Florida, it would be a very special thing to source so many Sabel fronds. Basically, one needs connections to thatch a chickee legally.
You know, you can go out to public and even private lands and harvest fronds easily...and you won't likely be caught.
But, sourcing them completely legally is...much more difficult.
Where do you get all those pumps?
I need that done. Any suggestions for west palm beach ?
Great vid thank you
Looks pretty hard work 😓 looking for ideas to make one for our tiki bar but have no palms that much around in uk 😏
I have the perfect solution for you, as I have built a tiki hut that hosted a party of epic proportions. Reed fencing. It comes in rolls and it is generally used for quick privacy fencing.
It's made from salt marsh reed, which I think is generally harvested in England, but it is generally available worldwide...at least I know you can get it in home improvement stores in the US in springtime at least.
This reed fencing makes a perfect (fair weather) roof for a tiki hut. It looks very tropical, and it looks better the . more it weathers.
artificial palm , if you need , pls contace me
Are normal nails used for the nailing part?
Yes
It would be so nice if u would have taken the video of completed hut...skipped video in the middle of work????
Hey there! How is the hut doing /lasting and does it drip water on the inside?
Hut has been up for 4 years . Still bone dry looks like new . The restaraunt sold but the tiki is still there
@@StoneBrokeAdventure thanks for this. My great grandmother built these and would periodically have to have it re-done (at least the thatching on top). But I was a kid and barely remember much about it.
Next time ur by your friends bar could u do a video now that it's been a few years... I want to see how it looks yellow.
Thats a great idea. Ill go ahead and do it
Dude can I use corn stalks for Tiki Hut roof
not like this
i need a bid please get ahold of me
we prefer like that of roof..
Como se llama esa palma? De donde son?
sable palm (cabbage palm). found throughout USA South east
@@StoneBrokeAdventure Those are Mexican palm fronds, you can tell because they are not 'costa-palmated' which means curves down in the middle
I Need a job I know how to do this too
So I just started watching this video, and I like it...I will make a point to give it a thumbs up. But...there is an issue for me that I think almost no one would notice or care about, and this issue is far beyond this particular video, yet here we are.
I watch a lot of YT vids as they are an amazing repository of on-the-ground knowledge. But, one thing that always irks me personally is that I want hard data concerning the origin of the video. Where is this video being filmed? What's the date? For certain videos, what was the weather like? And other circumstantial data.
I found this video by searching for "tiki hut.". I was not particularly looking for a construction video (and I just started watching this video), as I know how to make many types of tiki huts, rather, I was looking for a "cultural" video about how these structures are used.
So, when this host (thank you for your vid) said he was going to assist with a palm thatched tiki hut roof, I'm like, "I'm familiar with that.". But, when the thatching turned out to be a tropical palm frond as opposed to Sabal Palmetto, I asked myself, "Where is this video being filmed?". Hawaii?
Just saying...I would like some on-the-ground data concerning such videos.
daytona beach florida the fronds are harvested further south most likely on private ranch land or reservation the sable palm is protected but tha just means you cant cut them down triming palms is a regular thing and totally non destructive.
I bet it's close to $100 grand just to do the thatching on there.
And the final result ? What a pointless video
