The Palapa or palm shade structure is an exciting alternative to shading your backyard. In addition to being wonderful for providing shade it is also environmentally friendly.

We were featured in Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine , the 'Palapa Passion' article in January, 2009.

Why choose the Palapa Guy? most, if not all, of the material we use to build a Palapa is considered green material. Palm fronds are used to cover the roof section. By reusing natural materials we help eliminate thousands of fronds from being burnt or buried in our land-fills which adds to the waste that contributes to global warming. The fronds are used as the main cover for the roof as seen in our pictures under “Gallery”. The wood used for making the structure is from farmed forests where each tree is replaced with new plantings. As for our rope; it is the finest around and is true abaca, a natural plant material that is very strong and resistant to water.
