They provide a sense of being in a tropical paradise instead of just in your backyard. Tiki torches are relatively inexpensive.They are a great low cost way to create a mood for a party or just to add ambiance for you while relaxing in your backyard after a long day work or over the weekend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IXxDbh0vKxk/Tm8QN1Nmv6I/AAAAAAAAAGo/htY3CH-LXG4/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IXxDbh0vKxk/Tm8QN1Nmv6I/AAAAAAAAAGo/htY3CH-LXG4/s1600/images.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=614_603"&gt;Tiki torches&lt;/a&gt; come in a variety of styles but the most traditional type is made from bamboo or cane. Traditional bamboo Tiki torches are around 5 feet (1.5 meters) in height, although the height can vary slightly depending upon what style of Tiki torches you buy. It's little touches like that which add up to an eye-catching, contemporary torch sure to add flare to any evening garden party.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Bamboo Tiki torches usually have a pole made from bamboo or another natural material with a plastic bottle at the top of the pole hidden away inside a woven cover. On top of the woven section of the &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=614_603"&gt;tiki torch&lt;/a&gt; there is usually a black metal "roof" or cap that covers it. A heavy wick is threaded down through a hole in the top of the metal cap and into the plastic bottle. Inside the plastic bottle there is fuel which helps the tiki torch to burn more efficiently. You simply light the section of the wick that is sticking out of the top of the cap and you can have light for a long time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;If the wick grows too short you can pull additional wick up from inside the plastic bottle, making sure that the torch is not lit while you do this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Tiki torches are a great way to light up the yard with glimmering gold firelight. They make any garden feel like a tropical paradise and are great for parties, receptions, special occasions or just for the beauty they provide. You may find that birds like to sit on your Tiki torches when they aren't in use, which can create a mess on the lids.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Although bamboo Tiki torches are beautiful, they should always be kept away from children and flammable objects. You should keep a fire extinguisher on hand at all times when you are burning them in case of accidents.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://bambooandthatchetc.blogspot.com/2011/09/tiki-torches-for-your-home.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bamboo Thatch)</author><media:thumbnail url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IXxDbh0vKxk/Tm8QN1Nmv6I/AAAAAAAAAGo/htY3CH-LXG4/s72-c/images.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064259137847911129.post-3826752572096478430</guid><pubDate>Wed, 10 Aug 2011 06:02:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-08-09T23:02:36.928-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">bamboo pole</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">bamboo poles</category><title>Many Uses of Bamboo Poles</title><description>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Most people will agree that bamboo is a highly versatile and exciting product. &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=607"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bamboo poles&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; are an attractive addition to your indoor and outdoor entertainment areas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UPge1qqcfUE/TkIezpsCbbI/AAAAAAAAAGk/0M0qeGZsN8U/s1600/bamboo_poles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UPge1qqcfUE/TkIezpsCbbI/AAAAAAAAAGk/0M0qeGZsN8U/s1600/bamboo_poles.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=607"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bamboo poles&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  hold up well in bad weather so they are often used in outdoor  structures and furnishings.

You probably have seen one but do not know that it is a thatch. Leaf thatch is commonly used in tiki bars as a decoration. It is usually placed on the walls or on the roofs of small huts. This is because it can give an exotic or a tropical ambience, which the owner is aiming for. Aside from aesthetic purposes, the leaf thatch also has practical uses.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hMBUqI8vxY8/ThZxcY4jppI/AAAAAAAAAGg/CvfCGYBWCoI/s1600/thatch-cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hMBUqI8vxY8/ThZxcY4jppI/AAAAAAAAAGg/CvfCGYBWCoI/s1600/thatch-cover.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;The thatch is not something new. In fact, it was already used for centuries in most Asian countries and other parts of the globe. If you visit a third world country, you will see that the leaf thatch is still used in their daily lives. For rice farmers who have to visit their field even if it is raining, thatch is commonly used as a raincoat. If you visit an isolated area in an Asian country, you will see that most houses are made out of &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=651"&gt;palm thatch&lt;/a&gt;. There are many reasons why they use a palm thatch as the roofing and the walls of their homes. The first one is because a thatch is inexpensive. The materials needed for the creation of the thatch are locally found in their area. Another reason why they utilize the thatch is that it is well suited in their climate, which is very hot during the dry seasons and continuously raining during the wet seasons.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;You can also utilize the benefits of a Mexican palm &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/thatch/"&gt;thatch&lt;/a&gt;. You can build a small hut in your yard and give it a Mexican &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=651"&gt;palm thatch roofing&lt;/a&gt;. The thatch can prevent water from getting into the insides of the hut when it is raining. It can also let the air pass through during the hot seasons making the hut a refreshing and relaxing place to stay. The leaf thatch is intricately hand woven to ensure that it will not fall apart when used. This also ensures that the leaves in the thatch will be evenly distributed.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Aside from roofing in your garden hut, there are also other uses of the thatch in your home. It also works well as patio cover, table skirt and in a “Gilligan’s” or “Survivor” theme parties. You can also use it as a roofing for your tree house project. If you are worried that it may be a fire hazard since it is made from dried palm leaves, do not worry too much. The Mexican &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=651"&gt;palm thatch&lt;/a&gt; comes with exterior fire retardant to ensure the safety of its users.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;If you are planning to buy palm thatch because of its many advantages but do not where to buy it from, you can always try the internet. There are websites that focus on tropical designs that you can go to and order a palm thatch. All of the transaction process will be done online so, you may have to use your credit card for the purchase of Mexican palm &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/thatch/"&gt;thatch&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://bambooandthatchetc.blogspot.com/2011/07/why-use-mexican-palm-thatch.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bamboo Thatch)</author><media:thumbnail url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hMBUqI8vxY8/ThZxcY4jppI/AAAAAAAAAGg/CvfCGYBWCoI/s72-c/thatch-cover.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064259137847911129.post-5564917458690687750</guid><pubDate>Fri, 24 Jun 2011 01:54:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-06-23T18:55:16.186-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">lauhala matting</category><title>How to Use Lauhala Matting</title><description>&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="smallText" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" valign="top"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;The lauhala leaves have been popular in tropical regions for many years because of their versatility when it comes to roofing materials, floor coverings, wall coverings and bedding mats as well as hats and other articles of clothing.

Since they are hand-carved, no two tikis are the same. The history  behind them comes from Polynesian culture. Tiki was the first man,  somewhat equivalent to Adam in Christian theology. It is thought that  the idea originated in the Marquesas Islands before spreading elsewhere  in the South Pacific. In this ancient culture, the word "tiki" is also  used to describe the spirit of a god or ancestor contained in a  sculpture. The sculpture, which may be wooden or stone, is carved in  their image. In Polynesia, &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=611"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;tiki statues&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; have been found dating back at least 3,500 years. This custom resulted in the popularity of &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=611"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;tiki statues&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; that today can be seen all over the world. Tikis were placed outside the doors of temples and other sacred Polynesian places.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Today, because of the mid-century tiki craze, &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=611"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;tiki statues&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  can be found all over the world. In Polynesia, there are artists and  sculptors who draw their inspiration from the tradition of tiki statue  carving. In the United States, "tiki" has become a blend of all of these  ancient cultural forms. Our Polynesian style &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=611"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;tiki statues&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  can add a beautiful tropical touch to any landscape.

A&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=651"&gt;thatch hut&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;would make a great addition in the garden. Just imagine spending your hot summer afternoon in your backyard under the refreshing shade of a tropical &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=651"&gt;thatch hut&lt;/a&gt; with a cold beverage in your hand. You and your family can enjoy fun outdoor activities in the hut. In social gatherings and parties, the hut can be a great place to sit down and have a chat with someone. In addition to its practical uses, a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=651"&gt;thatch hut&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;can also increase the beauty of your yard. Just by looking at it can make someone feel refreshed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;However, before placing an order for this new ornament in your garden there are things that you should consider first. The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=651"&gt;thatch hut&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;may take up most of your garden space if your yard is just a small one. Determine the size of this tropical &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=651"&gt;thatch hut&lt;/a&gt; that you are going to buy and make an estimate of how much space it will take up in your garden. If it is too big, you can ask the provider if there is a smaller version of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=651"&gt;thatch hut&lt;/a&gt;. If there is none, you can always look for alternatives for your dilemma. You can attach the hut to the garden wall so that it will consume little space. You can also try building the hut around a tree if you have tree in your garden. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;The next thing to ensure is if it will match the theme of your backyard. Some landscaping designers would disagree of having a tropical &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=651"&gt;thatch hut&lt;/a&gt; in their project if it is not suited with the ambiance they are trying to achieve. Coordinate first with your landscape designer before making any additions to your garden.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;After ensuring that all of these are done, you can now order your tropical &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=651"&gt;thatch hut&lt;/a&gt; and build it in your garden. Speaking of building, the huts may come as parts that you will have to assemble. There are instructional materials to guide you through the process. However if you do not have time for this, you can always ask the provider of the thatch hut if their services also include a staff to build the hut for you. You may just have to pay for an additional fee and a tip to the staff. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://bambooandthatchetc.blogspot.com/2011/05/have-you-ever-seen-thatch-hut-if-you.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bamboo Thatch)</author><media:thumbnail url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p8tAU_n8c84/Tb9iNlwwKgI/AAAAAAAAAGI/zkbfILwWZs0/s72-c/images.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064259137847911129.post-2014048209707564888</guid><pubDate>Mon, 11 Apr 2011 09:36:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-04-11T02:36:02.686-07:00</atom:updated><title>Landscaping Your Yard with Thatch</title><description>&lt;div style="background: white;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="smallText" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" valign="top"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;If you are looking for great landscaping idea for your yard, you can use&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/thatch" style="color: #415420; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;thatch&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.

This will allow you to place a table in your yard where you and your friends can have a hearty meal even if the sun is shining hot. A table with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=651_656" style="color: #415420; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;thatch skirting&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;would complete the tropical look of your garden so try to fit the table in your yard. However if your yard has limited space, do not overcrowd it. Measure your table and make a sketch of your yard. After this draw the table in your sketch and see how it looks. If the yard looks overcrowded then you can forget adding the table. The yard should always have some free space where you can comfortably move otherwise, you will not be able to enjoy it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="smallText" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" valign="top"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/thatch" style="color: #415420; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thatch&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;can greatly beautify your yard but can also overcrowd it. Thus, before buying any of the products and installing it in your yard, ensure that it will not overcrowd the place. You can ask for the help of a landscaping expert if you are having a hard time in choosing which products to use.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</description><link>http://bambooandthatchetc.blogspot.com/2011/04/landscaping-your-yard-with-thatch.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bamboo Thatch)</author><media:thumbnail url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7YuX5YIkhSU/TaLLYqz32YI/AAAAAAAAAGE/BlV_VmGaimI/s72-c/503%252C506%252C508_Thatch_Umbrella_Cover.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064259137847911129.post-413955869305484746</guid><pubDate>Wed, 29 Dec 2010 05:59:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-12-28T21:59:20.704-08:00</atom:updated><title>How to Use Thatch Panels in your Backyard</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"&gt;Homeowners will often say that they run out of ideas when it comes to finding new design moves that will help them to revamp their out-of-doors entertaining and living areas after readjusting the decorative pieces or changing the color scheme of the outdoor furniture. One concept that is becoming increasingly popular this season is the use of &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=593"&gt;thatch paneling&lt;/a&gt; as part of your exterior design. In prior generations, &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthathetc.com/"&gt;thatch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; was used to provide cover on warm days, but with today’s design aesthetic, tiki thatch is used more as a decorative element outside and inside the home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;You have most likely seen this umbrella-like figure on the porticos of local Mexican eateries around town or at tropical parties hosted at your friend’s house. However, incorporating thatch panels into your own outdoor area is basic and adds to the feel in your outdoor area. Once you bring the palapa into your alfresco living quarters you’ll want to spend all of your free time outside in the shade.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;Here are a few ways that thatching will improve the look of your backyard:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; With the right thoughtful care, thatch panels can last for many years. In dry environs with minor rainfall,&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthathetc.com/"&gt;thatch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;can have a lifetime of three to five years. If you live in a place with more rainfall, you should buy a large tarp to cover and safeguard the &lt;b&gt;thatch&lt;/b&gt; for longer usage for the future. If the product is correctly secured, it can endure winds up to 50 to 60 miles per hour, making it a great idea for those who live in windy climates. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There are endless applications for thatch panels. You’d be shocked, but &lt;b&gt;thatch&lt;/b&gt; has many uses that you may be oblivious of. These panels can be used to ornament tables, fences, tiki bars and barbecues. You’ll create a tropical feel when you add&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthathetc.com/"&gt;thatch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;to your outdoor party, backyard, garden, or business with very little effort. You can also adjust the paneling by having it fitted to your own special item with unique dimensions. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;Thatch&lt;/b&gt; requires very little maintenance. Make sure you soak off the thatch panels several times every year to protect it from any dirt or buildup that may accumulate. When &lt;b&gt;thatch&lt;/b&gt; is rained on for the first time, it can sometimes create a non toxic run off. Think of ways to guard the &lt;b&gt;thatch&lt;/b&gt; from mold and filth, especially in areas with a colder and rainier climate. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;4.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Thatch panels come in a universal dimension to meet your size needs. The standard size of a palapa will stand at 8 feet and 6 inches at its tallest point. The outer rim is just about 7 feet tall and there is 6 inches of overhang, which gives a clearance of 6 feet 6 inches. Take into account these dimensions before you proceed with the purchase so you have enough square footage to hold the palapa in your backyard.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="100" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;             &lt;td style="text-align: center;" width="210"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/product_info.php?cPath=593&amp;amp;products_id=1381"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Palm Leaf Thatching Panel" border="0" height="120" onload="javascript:DrawImage(this,200,120);" src="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/images/501_Thach.jpg" title=" Palm Leaf Thatching Panel " width="96" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;           &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;       &lt;/table&gt;&lt;table border="0" height="82" style="text-align: left; width: 213px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr height="100"&gt;             &lt;td height="78" style="text-align: center;" width="193"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;#501&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Free Shipping!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Palm Leaf Thatching Panel&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</description><link>http://bambooandthatchetc.blogspot.com/2010/12/how-to-use-thatch-panels-in-your_28.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bamboo Thatch)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064259137847911129.post-2969544780796023160</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 Dec 2010 08:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-12-13T00:30:10.342-08:00</atom:updated><title>Six Fun Facts about Bamboo</title><description>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/"&gt;Bamboo&lt;/a&gt; is definitely one of the coolest plants on earth. Here are some fun facts about bamboo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEFqFxC7OEU/TQXZX053XnI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/ZTIf47dvQic/s1600/image003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEFqFxC7OEU/TQXZX053XnI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/ZTIf47dvQic/s1600/image003.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;1. &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/"&gt;Bamboo&lt;/a&gt; is the  fastest-growing woody plant on Earth. A bamboo shoot can be observed to  be growing while it is watched because bamboo can grow as many as four  feet each day. A pole of bamboo can regenerate to its full mass in just  six months!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;2. &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/"&gt;Bamboo&lt;/a&gt; is fast growing.  Bamboo is great for the climate. The plant produces up to 35% more  oxygen than hardwood trees and absorbs four times as much carbon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;3. &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/"&gt;Bamboo&lt;/a&gt; has natural  anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Bamboo contains a natural  agent called bamboo kun which requires no harmful chemicals to prevent  bacteria and fungus from cultivating on it¨Ckeeping the fabric odor  free. This allows for less washing which saves on energy, time and  money.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;4. &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/"&gt;Bamboo&lt;/a&gt; is naturally antimicrobial and anti-fungal in its raw state.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;5. &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/"&gt;Bamboo&lt;/a&gt; is hypoallergenic.  Bamboos organic and natural fiber properties make it naturally  hypoallergenic. It is non-irritating to the skin, and works extremely  well for anyone having allergies, eczema, dermatitis or other skin  sensitivities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;6. People in Asia have been using bamboo as medicines, flooring and paper for over 5,000 years.&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://bambooandthatchetc.blogspot.com/2010/12/six-fun-facts-about-bamboo.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bamboo Thatch)</author><media:thumbnail url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEFqFxC7OEU/TQXZX053XnI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/ZTIf47dvQic/s72-c/image003.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064259137847911129.post-7926181779749881555</guid><pubDate>Tue, 19 Oct 2010 07:06:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-10-19T00:06:31.470-07:00</atom:updated><title>Environmentally Favorable Decoration - Thatch</title><description>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/"&gt;Thatch&lt;/a&gt; is dried palm leaves that were hand woven together and are a great ornament for the yard.

Aside from its  aesthetic appeal, bamboo also has the following advantages as a fencing  material.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;     &lt;td class="smallText" valign="top"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Firstly, bamboo is considered a  sustainable resource because it grows faster than any other plant on  earth. You might be surprised to learn that it is a grass and not a  wood, so it takes less time to grow and replenish the supply. In fact it  only takes 5 to 7 years to grow a mature bamboo plant for harvesting  whereas wood takes 50 to 100 years. Compared with wood, bamboo is more  lightweight and has a higher tensional strength at the same time, which  makes it an ideal material for construction. For an environmentally  friendly living space,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Simsun;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/fencing/"&gt;bamboo fencing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;is the best choice you can make.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;     &lt;td class="smallText" valign="top"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Another advantage of using&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Simsun;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/fencing/"&gt;bamboo fencing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;is that bamboo is inexpensive, especially compared to traditional  hardwood fencing materials. Part of the savings you can get by choosing&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Simsun;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/fencing/"&gt;bamboo fencing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;come from the fact that many styles of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Simsun;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/fencing/"&gt;bamboo fencing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;are easy to install without the need employing a professional contractor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;     &lt;td class="smallText" valign="top"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Finally,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Simsun;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/fencing/"&gt;bamboo fencing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'s  smooth exterior makes it much easier to clean and maintain than  hardwood fencing. Washing it down with soap and water is usually all  that's needed. Apply a good water sealing stain right after and it  should keep its original color and sheen for years. Apply waterproofing  deck sealer each year for a longer lasting fence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;</description><link>http://bambooandthatchetc.blogspot.com/2010/08/why-choose-bamboo-fencing.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bamboo Thatch)</author><media:thumbnail url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEFqFxC7OEU/TGuWgkBw7nI/AAAAAAAAAFE/OA3PNz-js0s/s72-c/380_Bamboo_and_bushwood_panel.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064259137847911129.post-3684118737583357089</guid><pubDate>Mon, 16 Aug 2010 05:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-08-15T22:33:57.277-07:00</atom:updated><title>Thatch</title><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ox="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEFqFxC7OEU/TGjM0Bb2FRI/AAAAAAAAAE4/aPfqjsSakLY/s320/520_Fiji_Thatch_Top_FINISHED.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/thatch/"&gt;Thatch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; can be used in many applications. You may have seen one but do not realize that it is a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/thatch/"&gt;thatch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/thatch/"&gt;Thatch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, also know as rain cape, is usually used in applications such as tiki bars, tropical huts and palapas. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/thatch/"&gt;Thatch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is a very old roofing choice that has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. If you visit a third world country, you will see that &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/thatch/"&gt;thatch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is still used in their daily lives. If you visit an isolated town or village in an Asian country, you will see that most houses are made out of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/thatch/"&gt;thatch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Nowadays, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/thatch/"&gt;thatch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is also the choice of affluent people who desire a rustic look for their home or yards. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/thatch/"&gt;Thatch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; roof is not just a beautiful functional roofing material, it is also a highly renewable resource.&lt;br /&gt;Normally, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/thatch/"&gt;thatch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; will not require frequent maintenance. It is naturally weather-resistant, and if properly maintained will not absorb lots of water. In some areas, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/thatch/"&gt;thatch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is constructed from palm leaves with strength and durability to withstand sun, rain, wind and other harsh environments. A thatched roof can ensure that the building will be cool in summer and warm in winter. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #38761d;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/"&gt;Bamboo and Thatch Etc by Benson's Tropical Sea Imports is one of the largest wholesale thatch suppliers in the World.

The best examples for such instances are the Tiki room developed at the Disneyland, Pirates of the Caribbean, tropical drinks and tiki bars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/Tiki-Mask/"&gt;Tiki Masks&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; are hand carved from wood and finished with oil or wax to give them an excellent sheen. Each &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/Tiki-Mask/"&gt;Tiki mask&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is unique. They can add a distinctive decorative element to a home or office. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/Tiki-Mask/"&gt;Tiki Masks&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; can also be displayed outdoors -- by your entrance to greet your guests or on a patio as a conversation piece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/Tiki-Mask/"&gt;Tiki Masks&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; represent spiritual deities that were called upon by island natives to ward off evil spirits from their dwelling places. They are well known in ancient and traditional worshipping style. Though there are many African deities, &lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/Tiki-Mask/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tiki Masks&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; do not wear out easily. Sometimes, the word Tiki is related to the thought of faux culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans look out for &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/Tiki-Mask/"&gt;Tiki Masks&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; which are spirit oriented which helps them overcome every obstacle in their everyday life. For example, if you would like to be a winner in all the things that you carry out, you can install the ancient Tiki winner Mask which helps you bring all the good luck and fortune in the work you carry out. If you would like to be rich, you will have to install the God of money &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/Tiki-Mask/"&gt;tiki mask&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, which according to ancient tradition is considered as the fortune maker.&lt;br /&gt;It all depends upon your own belief and respect towards the ancient tradition and culture that will help you choose the perfect and the particular Tiki head for your everyday life happiness. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=613"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #38761d;"&gt;Bamboo and Thatch Etc by Benson's Tropical Sea Imports is proud to provide our customers with unique Tiki masks of various styles &amp;amp; sizes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://bambooandthatchetc.blogspot.com/2010/08/what-is-tiki-mask.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bamboo Thatch)</author><media:thumbnail url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OEFqFxC7OEU/TGUKTrxsv4I/AAAAAAAAAEg/uasEnGMl_AA/s72-c/5038_mask_r.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064259137847911129.post-1217227334638825504</guid><pubDate>Fri, 11 Jun 2010 02:08:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-06-10T20:13:51.078-07:00</atom:updated><title>Tips on Adding Bamboo Décor on Your Home</title><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="235" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OEFqFxC7OEU/TBGXTkB85iI/AAAAAAAAADw/n8xeNtMV_PE/s320/image003.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="smallText" style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" valign="top"&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;Bamboo has now been widely accepted as a durable decorating material.
