User-Friendly Installation with Mexican Palm Thatch
Whether you opt for palm thatch rolls or umbrella covers, installation is easy. It’s generally a do-it-yourself project that requires a few basic tools and perseverance.
With a palm thatch roll, use a measuring tape to determine the dimensions of your panels. Cut the roll to fit. Place the first row, shaggy side up, along the bottom edge of the structure’s roof. Attach it with the proper fasteners. Put the next row above it, overlapping the two rows. Continue working until the roof is covered.
When using a cape for an umbrella or hut, start by finding the center of the thatch cape. Mark its center with a piece of string. Next, fold the cape in half with the bottom of the cape facing out. Fold it into quarters. Then, fold it into eighths. Place the cape on the frame. Be sure to align the string marking the cape’s center with the structure’s center. Then, unfold the cape. Attach it using zip ties, staples, or whatever fasteners are appropriate.

Natural thatch capes will last indefinitely indoors and for one to two years in an outdoor setting. These thatch capes can also be treated with a fire retardant for enhanced safety. However, if you’re completing an exterior project and want a product that is built to withstand the elements, consider our synthetic palm thatch roof products. These items appear natural, but they have a longer lifespan.
