When the tropical breezes blowing off the Indian River just across from the Ft Pierce Inlet, make you feel like life doesn’t get any better than this, the last thing you want to happen is the roof falling down into your Margarita! That’s why the Original Tiki Bar & Restaurant called Big Kahuna to repair their roof. With a section of the bar closed off, and the oh so familiar blue tarp stretched across the ceiling, employees of Big Kahuna Tiki Huts went to work. Using fresh cut Florida palm fronds, they had guests enjoying rum runners and fish sandwiches in no time.www.originaltikibar.com

With clients such as Ritz Carlton Hotels, The City of Naples, FL, and Hyatt Resort’s it’s no wonder management at The Original Tiki Bar & Restaurant called. Besides being featured on TV’s Extreme Home Makeovers, they do new construction along with repairs and restorations for both commercial and residential clients.

Check out their website at: http://www.palmhuts.com/. That night, while the band played and the sun sunk low over the marina, everybody forgot all the hole in the roof just hours earlier, and enjoyed the beauty of another Treasure Coast evening, all thanks to Big Kahuna Tiki Huts.

Big Kahuna Tiki Huts did a rethatch on a customer’s pre-existing tiki hut located directly on the beach. 

Our crews have to remove the old palm fronds, haul away the palm frond debris, and rethatch the tiki hut with fresh cut palm fronds.

Big Kahuna Tiki Huts recently completed a project for a Villa in Hillsboro Beach FL on 18 foot x 12 foot tiki huts located directly on the beach.

It’s amazing how much cooler the temperature is when under a tiki hut!  Also somehow it naturally drops your blood pressure and you automatically start relaxing.

Big Kahuna Tiki Huts was hired by Brevard Community College in Cocoa FL to rethatch their four pre-existing tiki huts.  The huts are located on Clear Lake behind the Roger W. Dobson Building (Bldg. 13).  There are four tiki huts located in this area.  The largest hut was a 31 foot x 30 foot and there were three other huts 22 foot x 13 foot each.

Students can enjoy being outdoor year around while finding shade under the huts or shelter from the rain.  It is also a nice gathering place to relax, socialize, or study.

Our crew of thatchers began their work in early August.  First they had to strip all the old palm fronds off each of the tiki huts in preparation for the new thatching.  The old palms are individually removed and hauled away.  Once the huts are stripped of their old palms, they are ready to be thatched with fresh cut Florida palm fronds.  Each new palm frond is individually attached to the structure of the tiki hut.

The Community School of Naples, Florida hired us to rethatch their pre-existing 34 foot x 18 foot tiki hut with fresh cut Florida palm fronds.  This process required our crews removing the old palm fronds, hauling away of the palm frond debris, and then rethatching the tiki hut.
