Pescadero Palapa -


Pescadero palapa completed last month. It is 21' between the posts and the cost was $2,300. I highly reccomend the local builder.

Holy doubles....elskel

Nonetheless...nice palapa....However I wouldn't go reccommending him until the palapa has weathered a hurricane or 2. That is when you know the guy is a good palapa builder.

they all look pretty until a huricane comes along...at that point you'll know if its a quality job.

$2300 is a smokin deal. Is that including all materials and labor? how many cajas of palm leaves did it require?

Senor Guillermo:

Wow, what a Palapa! I have a lot in Loreto that I will have a need for a Palapa. Can you recommend the person who built yours?

The lot is located in “Gringo Gulch” and the Palapa will be much smaller than yours, something to accommodate a 30-40 foot 5th wheel.

Also in need of cement slab built for the trailer, somewhere around 6 meters X 15 meters. Do you know someone that you can recommend for that job? The person I have been using for building jobs seems like he is getting a little complacent with us and might be starting to take advantage of us price wise.

Thank you

Yes, Materials and labor. Not sure how many cajas. We will see one year how it holds up in a hurricane. The gentleman has been building his whole life, but time will tell. As you know it is an art building a palapa, I have had a few built over the years and this looks solid.

Our first palapa roof. Posada hill house built with 20" stone walls 1975-76.

The second owner gave it a metal roof. For good reason. You had to put your coaster 'on top' of your c-cktail glass to keep the bugs and debris from falling in. :yes:


Cost of the grass roof back then...very, very little...but still cut into the beer budget.
