Founded in 1986, Tropical Shade Imports was the first commercial builder of palapas in the United States. Since our establishment, we have been the go-to source for palapas, tiki huts, grass huts, kits, thatch covers and roofs, tropical gazebos, bamboo poles, installation and much more. We ship kits, complete with instructions, to your front door. We also offer local installation and estimates for customers in Southern California. Our team of experienced, licensed contractors have been with our business since 1986, so you can trust us to get the job done right. Are you looking for a unique, and higher-quality alternative to standard patio covers? Order online, by phone or stop by today and let us help you create your own tropical paradise.
