I'm looking for references for cheap palm frond stuff for the roof. Don't want to spend the big bucks for real thatch just want something that looks good. I need to cover an 8x8 area. Any suggestions. Call a local tree trimming service. Get some free palm fronds when they're trimming the trees. If you only get green ones, let them dry outside for a few weeks. I've done that for my own home bar, works great, and it's free. The tree trimmer services are glad to get rid of "junk" or "trash". You just have to have a vehicle to move it.
