Thatching, the craft of roofing that uses dry vegetation materials such as straw, palm leaves, or water reed weaved together to form a durable covering, are great for backyard dÃ©cor because they are naturally weather resistantâ€”the dried materials do not absorb large amounts of moisture, and they stand up well against sun and wind.

Though thatched roofing dates back to Europe from before the Middle Ages, they are better recognized for tropical climate dÃ©cor. Therefore, incorporating a thatched umbrella kit in your backyard dÃ©cor will help you create an exotic tropical landscape design or a fun entertain-friendly tiki-bar fell.

There are many ways you can incorporate a thatched umbrella kit. Here are just a few:

A Poolside Tropical Oasis

Instead of the typical canvas umbrella, turn your poolside umbrellas into thatched umbrellas to create a tropical poolside oasis. Besides creating a feeling of an exotic vacation, thatched umbrellas also create a significantly cooler environment than canvas.

Cook in Style

Create a tropical backdrop for your outdoor kitchen by incorporating a thatched umbrella covering. Not only will you create a style people will talk about, but you will also stay out of the heat while you are attending to your barbeque because thatched umbrellas create shade and also allow the warm air from the grill to escape.

Tiki-Bar Happy Hour

Create a fun tiki-bar at which you and your friends to hang out. And what tiki-bar isn't complete without a thatched umbrella covering? You and your friends will be entertained in style, sipping mai-tais under a shaded thatched umbrella and other thatch for your tiki bar.

Party Time

So you may like the look of thatched umbrellas, but you aren't ready to change the style of your entire backyard. Why not have a luau party and enjoy the feeling of the tropical style for a night. Instead of something permanent, thatched umbrella kits can come in smaller sizes that are easy enough to install for your night's luau and just as easy to take down and store for another day.
