Traditionally, tiki huts are round, but these days they come in just about any shape and can be a very versatile addition to your backyard

Do you dream of being at the beach, relaxing on the sand with a tropical drink in your hand?  No matter where you live, you can bring the beach to your backyard by building a tiki hut.  They are simple to build and will give your outdoor area an enormous amount of character; they come in several styles and can be used to construct an outdoor room like none other.  They can be furnished like an outdoor living room; with furniture, cool outdoor rugs and accessories to give it a real island feel.

Traditionally, tiki huts are round, but these days they come in just about any shape and can be a very versatile addition to your backyard.  Tiki huts are generally manufactured and sold as a kit and can be shipped anywhere. They are made of durable material and often have a special coating to make them resistant to all types of weather.  They require very little maintenance and can be finished in many different materials to suit any taste or budget.

You can have your tiki hut built out of the traditional bamboo, which is very sturdy, but bamboo everywhere can be a bit boring.  A mix of bamboo and other materials can give the tiki hut a unique look; there are no rules, you can do whatever you want with your tiki hut.  There are many great features you can add to the interior of you tiki hut; a bar, for example would be an excellent addition to a tiki hut.  Using some island themed decorations and accessories, your friends will feel like they’re having drinks in the Bahamas.  You can also use more traditional outdoor furniture and make your tiki hut into a fun retreat for relaxing with friends and family; it’s just a fun and unique way to arrange an outdoor room.

I guarantee that a tiki hut in your backyard will make you the hit of your neighborhood.  Whether you choose to have it decorated as a traditional tiki bar or more conservatively as an outdoor living room, you will have a unique outdoor living space that will make your friends and family want to hang out at your house all the time.
