Introducing Papa's Palapas |
| At Papa's
Palapas, we design and build beautiful Palapa umbrellas and umbrella
tables that enhance your outdoor landscape and turn your backyard
pool area into a true tropical atmosphere. Our Palapas
are virtually waterproof, made to the highest quality standards and
provide cool shade allowing warm air to escape through the thatch.
Our
Palapa umbrellas are extremely sturdy and capable of withstanding
exceptionally high wind conditions. |

| What is a Palapa Anyway? |
pa-la-pa
A
Palapa is ansided dwelling with a thatched roof. The roof
is made up of dried palm leaves. It is often a structure,
such a bar or restaurant, in a tropical resort that is one-sided and
thatched with palm leaves.
|
| What
materials are used to make a Palapa? |
All of the
Palapa umbrellas are made from natural materials. The center
pole and latilla supports are purchased locally and made from Southwestern
Pine. The palm covering is made from Mexican Fan Palm fronds.

| Why
Make a Palapa Anyway? |
| "Over
the years my wife and I have taken numerous vacations to the Caribbean
and Mexico. I have always admired the different types
of Palapas found in all parts of the world and started taking pictures
of the different types of structures. As I learned more
about this beautiful tropical furnishing, I decided to
construct a Palapa umbrella table to enhance the landscape in
my own backyard. The rest as they say, is history!" |
