Tips for Building Your Own Palm Hut

Who hasn't sat and watched those old episodes of Gilligan's Island and couldn't help but admire the great, classic thatched roof huts. They used to be in style, you know, and Frank Sinatra was said to be a big fan of them and even had one out by his pool.

Bring the Tropics to You

It's just simply impossible to be in a bad frame of mind when your sitting in in any type of ski enclosure and time seems to simply stand still. The good news is that they are coming back into style and are springing up in backyards everywhere. Hey! If you can't get to the tropics then why not bring them to you!

You May Need an Approved Set of Plans

You really shouldn't need any permits to build one in your backyard but that all changes if you are running power or water to it. If this is the case then you will need a complete set of plans that have to be approved by the county planning office.

Staying in Code Yet Retaining the Light Look

That can be a problem, because they have specific rules that govern how any structure can be built. A light structure such as a tiki hut may have some problems getting approved. One idea is to talk to others that have built them and see how they got around all of those problems.

The Floor of Your Tiki Hut

It seems to me that a simple cement floor might work best for your hut. It's the same style of floor that you will find in the beach front, thatched roof palapas in Mexico. They also use steel pipe wrapped with rope and rough driftwood in the framing and it looks great!

Bring on the Margaritas!

There are some good sources for plans and materials online now, so you will definitely want to access them. Also, many of these same online venues have lots of tiki hut supplies as well. Also, don't forget to pick up a good tropical drink recipe book because your going to need it.

A friend of mine wanted to bring in Pizza Hut pizza to school for her sons birthday, the teacher said no?

Kids bring in ice bars, cup cakes, all sorts of thing. Would find anything wrong with bringing in pizza and pop to school to celebrate a childs birthday?

In my daughters school when they celebrate a birthday in the class room. They do it towards the end of the day. So it does not interfere with lurch. I have brought in pizza hut pizza and pop for my daughters birthday. Just to be safe. I ordered all cheese, because not everyone likes the same toppings. The school did not have a problem wtih it.
