Premium Tiki Hut Materials

At Southern Cross Tikis, exceptional structures begin with superior materials carefully selected for Florida’s unique environment.

We use locally harvested cypress and pressure-treated pine for structural components, chosen specifically for their natural resistance to Florida’s humidity, insects, and weather conditions. All lumber meets or exceeds building code requirements for structural integrity. Our premium palm thatch creates the distinctive look and natural cooling properties that define authentic tiki huts. We source only the highest quality materials, expertly installed for maximum durability and weather resistance.

For projects with decorative bamboo elements, we select premium quality poles that enhance the tropical aesthetic. Our bamboo treatments ensure these decorative elements maintain their appearance for years to come. Every Southern Cross tiki hut receives professional-grade fire retardant treatment as standard. These specialized treatments provide crucial safety protection without affecting the natural appearance of your structure.
