Tiki Hut pool kitchen

Talk about a gorgeous pool area! The company I work for builds tiki huts all over the state of Florida. One of our customers had us build an authentic tiki hut over their pool kitchen. What a great finishing touch to their beautiful pool area. I just couldn't resist sharing these pictures.


As you can see, there are seats around the counter area in the pool. The chef keeps dry while cooking (or bartending!) and the guests don't even have to get out of the water to enjoy whatever is being served.

Tiki Hut with sunken kitchen

We built an authentic 20 foot round tiki hut with a 5 foot thatched cupola in a customers backyard beside their lake. The poles were made from Florida native cypress hewn to a smooth blond finish. The thatched roof was made from fresh Florida palm fronds individually attached to create shelter from the rain and tropical sun.


A tropical tiki hut bar shifts people into a party/vacation mode and the good times begin. Tiki huts (“grass huts”) often are found on tropical resorts in vacation islands. Today, more and more people are finding they can create this tropical paradise in their own back yard for year around enjoyment. The tiki huts provide a great addition to any poolside venue creating a distinctive, island-type atmosphere without leaving home.


Big Kahuna Tiki Huts builds quality custom tiki huts and bars with high quality construction and workmanship throughout Florida. Catering to both commercial and residential, we build exactly to the customer's specifications.Hosting a tropical party in your backyard under your tiki hut along with Jimmy Buffet music and fresh margaritas in the blender will definitely get the good times rolling.

Tiki hut blending with nature

Big Kahuna Tiki Huts recently built a Tiki Hut in Reddick, Florida. The 27 foot hexagonal shaped hut has a cupola on the top. The “cupola” is a domelike structure that forms the very top of the roof giving it a unique look. Shaded area underneath the tiki hut is approximately 566 square feet.




The first thing I noticed when the construction crew sent me a picture of the completed hut and thatched roof (made of fresh cut palm fronds) was how nicely the tiki hut blended into the surroundings of the beautiful farm it was built on. I had to look hard at the picture to locate the tiki hut, as it fit in so nicely with the natural environment of trees and lush greenery.

Read the news article from AP (American Press Photo News) apphotonew.com written by Correspondent, Michael Ramer from Ft. Pierce, Florida on 5-11-09 in which he writes the following:

BIG KAHUNA SAVES THE DAY

When the tropical breezes blowing off the Indian River just across from the Ft Pierce Inlet, make you feel like life doesn't get any better than this, the last thing you want to happen is the roof falling down into your Margarita! That's why the Original Tiki Bar & Restaurant called Big Kahuna to repair their roof. With a section of the bar closed off, and the oh so familiar blue tarp stretched across the ceiling, employees of Big Kahuna Tiki Huts went to work. Using fresh cut Florida palm fronds, they had guests enjoying rum runners and fish sandwiches in no time.www.originaltikibar.com.

With clients such as Ritz Carlton Hotels, The City of Naples, FL, and Hyatt Resort's it's no wonder management at The Original Tiki Bar & Restaurant called. Besides being featured on TV's Extreme Home Makeovers, they do new construction along with repairs and restorations for both commercial and residential clients.

Check out their website at: http://www.palmhuts.com/. That night, while the band played and the sun sunk low over the marina, everybody forgot all the hole in the roof just hours earlier, and enjoyed the beauty of another Treasure Coast evening, all thanks to Big Kahuna Tiki Huts.

Triangular Tiki Hut










Big Kahuna Tiki Huts builds all shapes and sizes of tiki huts. Depending on the size and area of a customer's outdoor space, a tiki hut can be custom-designed to make the most of the new tropical living area.



Our customer in Palm Harbor wanted a tiki hut on their pool deck. In order for the hut to fit in perfectly with their surroundings and close to the pool, Big Kahuna built them a tiki hut that was triangular-shaped.


The front of the tiki hut is 18 feet across. The sides that meet in the back to form the triangle were 12 feet on each side.
