Tiki Bar Ceiling - Need Advice Quickly!!!! - General Tiki

I am now considering the ceiling. I was planning on putting up Luan covered with Seagrass matting and then criss crossing it with Bamboo poles. This idea comes from what I think to be the construction I see in various pictures on the web. Can anyone offer anything better for an idea with regard to materials or configuration? I also need advice on how to criss cross the poles. I assume you just notch them to fit and then join them at the crosspoints by wrapping with rope or something, right? I could use some help here... Thanks, Russ
