Imported Bali Huts
Black string pre-fabricated Bali Huts looks like the real deal when its new but they are using a lesser grade thin woven thatch that just does not pass the test of time. The Prefabricated Panels are fairly easy to assemble but the drawback is that where the panels join is where the thatch will start leaking. The mudbugs on a skewer does not help either. Again easy to assemble but it just does not last.
But - If you are the owner of a imported Balinese hut we at Brisbane Thatch and Decks can most surely rethatch your structure our tested and proven way with high grade tightly woven thermal thatch to make sure its last to the maximum potential.
Alternatively we at Brisbane Thatch and Decks can turn your old sad looking structure into a magnificent Diamond pattern Tram-wood shingle roof, just as we have done with the sad looking roof on the photo next to this article. Tram-wood is much more durable than traditional Thatch but cost a lot more. The inside of the Tram wood Shingle Gazebo's structure is just as impressive mainly because the batten spacing's is a little bit wider than the Canadian Red Cedar Spacing's it's not as busy on the inside.
Please feel free to contact Brisbane Thatch and Decks for a free on site inspection and advise as to the new design of your outdoor living and entertaining deck areas and Gazebo's.
Brisbane Thatch and Decks can upgrade your Imported Bali Hut to Australian Standards.
There is some fundamental flaws with imported Bali Huts which we really need to look at when choosing and investing in a presumably Quality Balinese Hut. A Bali Hut that would add value to asset and not leave you with empty pockets after only 3 years.
Imported Bali huts come in prefabricated flat pack panels and the joints are the weakest link. In saying this, the first place damage to the frame will occur is on the hips which are the most critical part in keeping the frame intact. This is chiefly due to the method they use to attach the Mudbugs which is vastly inferior to our own method, The hips will be exposed as soon as 3 years after installation to the elements and rain will cause the most damage. There is a very real chance that wood rot will set in if mudbugs are not replaced soon with the correct installation method. If too much damage has set in we will be unable to rethatch the structure.

Brisbane Thatch and Decks can re-thatch most imported Bali huts to a much higher, more sustainable standard than what was originally installed.
However, poorly installed thatch starts to leak. Subsequently, if the soft coconut frames are left for too long and exposed to the elements, the timber will dry out and rot starts to take hold of the structure of the imported Bali Hut. This is before we even discuss the inevitable white ants, who just love soft Coconut Pine.
But all is not lost....
If too much damage has occurred to the imported Bali Hut frames, Brisbane Thatch and Decks can remove the existing soft coconut pine timber frame and replace it with a new Brisbane Thatch Bali Hut frame, This will last 50 years plus thatched at 75mm spacings with A-grade Export Quality Thermal Alang Alang Factory Treated Fire Retarded Thatch .

Importing a "Flat Pack Bali Hut with Deck" directly from Bali is most certainly cheaper but certainly not in the same class as a solidly custom designed and built to Australian Standards Balinese Pavilion by the Brisbane Thatch Team.
