Here is an Ebay seller for thatch.

Use split 2 inch bamboo to frame it out. You can split it with an ax or machete and hammer. If you have a way to angle cut the ends, that'll help.

Thatch comes in 4 X 4 foot sheets, and one is thick enough for most purposes, so measure and buy. You'll have the bottom "fringe" left off that 4 foot length.

It is "your" bar, so make it how you want. Satisfy yourself. If you enjoy it, your guests will too.
