Shelter Kits & Umbrellas

The Lapa Company offer a wide range of thatch tile structures, commonly known as Garden Shelters, Shelter Kits or Roof Kits. All of our shelters come in kit form and are perfect for self-assembly. Each kit comes with full instructions and all the fixings you will require.

Garden shelters are typically open-sided structures, and this is perfect if you like the idea of a thatched feature but don't want the enclosed sides found on a traditional gazebo. Our range includes both circular and oval structures, all of which utilise our easy to install Cape Reed Thatch Tiles. Additionally we offer a Thatch Tile Umbrella Kit.

For a sleek finish, you can add a canvas roof lining to any of our garden shelters. All of our canvas products have a 5 year manufacturers warranty, are available in a choice of over 30 colours (view our colour selector chart) and made from the most UV-resistant material available.

Please note that unlike our thatched gazebos, our Shelter Kits are not free standing and you will need to insert the uprights into footings. If you would prefer further support for your project we can complete the installation on your behalf.
