Hi all!

This will be my 9th year at Nissan...can't wait!! I'm going to attemt something really wild and crazy this year and try to make a Tiki Hut (goes with the theme of this year's tour, of course).

Has anyone made one and care to share some thoughts ideas on best construction practices??

Thanks!

Steer clear of fresh bamboo unless you have a lot of time and a lot of patience. We went with the "authentic" look last year. Yikes what a fiasco!

My husband built me a new bar this year, made of pine. Looks less like a tiki hut bar, but it's a heck of a lot easier to deal with!

Good luck with yours!

For the Bamboo, you can get the bamboo fenceing and contact glue it to plywood or press board. This works real well and really looks like a TIKI BAR

I saw some of the bamboo fencing at Home Depot last time I was there.
