Good day everyone. As an experienced tiki bar builder i am always telling my customers about the safety of fireproofing the thatched roof on their tiki bar or hut. If you are using real palm leaves or grass and your tiki bar or tiki hut is close to the house, by all means fireproof the leaves. I've built, delivered and installed many tiki bars and tiki huts where my customers put their portable heaters under them, have their grills close by, and even a fire pit. And believe me, those leaves will go up in a heart beat. I supply a fireproofing on my web site at http://www.tikikev.com specifically for thatched roofs. This product is not cheap, but well worth the cost you put into your bar. With this fireproofing it is recommended that you reapply every 5 years. I personally reapply mine every other year. If anyone is interested, pictures of my Tiki Hut and bar are also on my web site at http://www.tikikev.com When on the main page, click on the link that says HUTS. The fist 8 or 9 pics are my Tiki Bar and Tiki hut. Enjoy the pics and if anyone has any questions just shoot me an email.
