Well here’s to a new
year with new hopes and dreams , and ambitions.
If you are like me you ae thinking about what you can do to
to spruce up the yard this spring.
For us it is going to be updating the tiki hut, and tiki
bar.
If you don’t have a tiki hut , or tiki bar yet please check
out the custom tiki hut kits that are offered on our website at www.suncoasttikihuts.com
Now for all of you long time tiki hut owners, you are
probably starting to tire of the old beer signs ,and knick knacks etc. and
ready for something new and fresh. Time for a change to the old tiki bar.
Tiki huts and bars can take on many different themes. You
have the Caribbean, Hawaiian, African, pirate, fishing etc. Sometimes streamlining
to a nice clean look to start the adventure of finding the new pieces will be just right is the thing to do.
First things first, a good clean out , dusting and sweeping.
Basics- Look to see if you need, or want to update the
ceiling fan, lighting etc.
Tip: if you are putting in any new wiring, put the conduit
along the back of the poles if you are facing inside out, or to the top of the
support poles.
Is the TV, stereo system, or fridge in need of replacement?
These can be a big expense, and sometimes you can do a little scrubbing on the fridge
and even a little touchup cheaper than replacing.
We have used a regular Panasonic home theater system in our
main tiki bar hut for many years, only PD $199.00 for it, and it is still going
strong. As long as you keep your tiki hut rethatched on a regular basis, there
will be no water that gets to it. Never had a need to go with an expensive
outdoor version that costs thousands.
Uplighting that is attached to the tops of the support
beams( perimeter poles) is a nice feature to had ambience to the thatching on
the inside of the tiki hut. There are many kinds that work well that you can
get from your local Home Depot, or Lowes. Including nice outdoor ceiling fans.

I do recommend an outdoor version of a ceiling fan because
if you don’t the blades sag very soon after purchasing.
You now have a basic clean slate to decorate any way you
want. It is fun taking you time for this part adding feature pieces , barware
etc. There’s always something on your
travels that would make a great conversion piece so be on the lookout for a new
start to your collection
If you are going for the tiki theme, www.Suncoast Tiki Huts.com
carries carved tiki stools that swivel, many styles of carved faces, and the
seats now come in several colors. Each one has a 14” base, and everyone has a
unique carving, no two are exactly alike.
