We are receiving lots of repair request for ReThatching Bamboo frame huts. About 7 years ago Cheap Bamboo framed Huts appeared on the market. These huts only last 5 to 7 years if you are lucky. The Thatch is a lot like Japanese paper walls.
​
Unfortunately there are a few flaws with these Bamboo Huts.
​
*The 18 degree pitch is too low.
A proper Bali Hut pitch must be 30 to 35 degrees.
​
* The Palm leaves are very thin. Basically just one layer thick?
​
* The Bamboo does not last as long as CCA treated timber.
​
* We have found Dust Beatles in some frames. If you see small little holes in the frame, It's Dust Beatles. They just love Bamboo.
​
* Frame becomes wobbly after few years.
​
* There is no way to put these huts through council. It is literally just a temporary shaded cover.
​
* Proper Bali Huts is a lot more insulated than these shady Bamboo Tiki Huts.
