It looks great but just does not like rain and snow. So here is a bar where Thatch did not hold up for more than a year or so. It is in London. The Cogan grass thatch didn't last the winter and neither did the Nippa thatch so I may have to go the synthetic route unless anyone has any inspired ideas? its hard to get the real thing here and very expensive too. http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=51371&forum=20&start=30&39 And here is a bar where it is holding up after one year, BUT it is in Atlanta GA. Will need to see how long it lasts. New Roof on the Bora Bora Bamboo Barn and Fish bar…. http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=52761&forum=20&5
