How long does the thatch last?
The Mexican Palm Thatch lasts outdoors approximately 2-5 years, depending on the climate. If there is a lot of humidity, wind or rain, your thatch will last closer to the lower end of the spectrum. When the palm thatch needs to be replaced, many times only the top layer has deteriorated; this means the bottom layer can stay on and you will only need to pay for one layer of replacement thatch. You can purchase new layers of thatch through our “other products” page, just click on thatch. The African Reed Thatch lasts approximately 5-10 years with the same determinants on life span as the palm thatch. The Tahiti Thatch last approximately 5-10 years with the same determinants on life span as the palm thatch.
