Frequently Asked Questions
How is a Paradise tiki bar different from a palapa kit?
A palapa kit is a roof. A Paradise Tahiti or Abaco is a complete outdoor kitchen under a thatched shade: a powder-coated American steel and aluminum frame, a built-in stainless grill and bar, Avellaero stone tops, and smart-app control of the lighting, stereo and fans.
What is the difference between the Tahiti and the Abaco?
Both are thatched Shades of Paradise kitchens. The stand-alone Tahiti Tiki Hut is 12' round, and the Tahiti Double carries two 32" stations. The Abaco is a larger thatched hut, 16'x16' or 18'x16' as a stand-alone, with a grill island and attached island bar.
Do I need HOA approval for a tiki bar in Jacksonville?
Many Northeast Florida neighborhoods have an HOA or architectural review board that must approve structures like a thatched hut, and your city or county may need a permit. Check before you buy. Our Knowledge Center covers HOAs and permits, and a free 3D design helps with your submission.
