Tahiti Thatch: Made from the leaves of a hardy desert palm, these thatch panels are extremely durable in very harsh weather conditions, and offer an average of 6-7 years of life. These easy-to-install thatch panels and Thatched top cones give instant island charm to any roofing structure. Widely used on Safari’s thatched umbrellas and bars, these panels are also great for covering existing roofs on larger structures as well.
