FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

• Can I install a Baja Palapa in my existing concrete patio or Pool?
• 
  Yes. A 10" hole is cored in the existing slab. Then a 18" deep hole is dug using an auger or post hole digger, then the pole can be inserted.
  
  
• How long does the thatch last?
• 
  Depending on the climate, our thatch will usually last from 3-5 years, and less in more humid climates.
  
  
• What about heavy winds?
• 
  When correctly installed the hand woven thatch should withstand winds in excess of 50-60 miles per hour. The structural integrity of a Baja Palapa assures you that it will be there for years to come withstanding the elements.
  
  
• How do I know what size to buy?

  Each Baja Palapa is custom built and therefore cannot be returned or exchanged. Generally, the setting and desired location will determine the size of the Baja Palapa. Many Baja Palapa owners have mixed and matched styles and sizes in their backyard setting.
