A Tropical Paradise In Your Backyard
Palapas
High-Quality With Expert Craftsmanship
Have you ever asked yourself, “what is a palapa? A palapa is a simple dwelling with a thatched roof that is usually open on all the sides. They can be built with pine or cedar, and the leaves are woven and made of dried palm leaves. Palapas are also referred to as thatch umbrellas, grass huts or tiki huts. The word palapa comes from the Spanish word of Tagalog origin, meaning “petiol of the palm leaf, pulpous leave”. Palapas are very popular within the West Mexican culture and are found in Mexican deserts and on Mexican beaches.
Tom Pilgrim owner of Pools By Tom builds palapas with single, double, quadruple poles or whatever type you desire. We bring the tropics to your backyard with a tiki hut look.
