My little tiki bar's roof thatch has finally deteriorated to the point of looking 'ratty'. Some of you may say that it's just getting good but my wife doesn't think so. Anyway I have been searching the net for 5 foot by 20 foot palm thatch which is what I originally used. I think I got it from Garden Winds. The only thing I'm finding is 30 inch tall stuff. Also some 4' thatch. But I need 5 foot thatch to get any 'hangover' as the roof is 4 foot in length. I suppose I could overlap two 30 inchers but trying to avoid that.

Anybody got any ideas? The roof is pyramid shaped and 10 ft by 10 ft at the bottom edge. There is a 2 ft x 2 ft skylite at the top and it is 4 ft from that to the edge of the roof. Hope that's clear.
