We had three palapa tops replaced last year by Palapa Depot, one of which is over the sunken BBQ pit and overhangs the sunken bar stools in the pool, another actually in the wet deck area of the pool. While they look good I continue to have a major problem with the small staples they used coming out, getting in the pool and causing rust spots. If our pool was a typical white plaster pool it would be ruined. Our is black pebble tech and the staples are difficult to see until it turns into a spot of rust and it happens quickly. I did buy a large rolling magnet usually used to clean up nails from construction sites and initially and over the next few weeks picked up in excess of 75 staples. While some were from the removal of the old top many were new and very small staples that would typically be used to temporarily put up a sign or paper target on cardboard like you would use on a target range. Very small staples that I can not believe were used to hold down the new thatch. It makes no sense to me why such small staples were used... NONE. They continue to shed and get in the pool. So many rust spots now that are next to impossible to remove we have basically given up and will deal with next year with an acid wash when it is drained and refilled again. Four stars for the appearance, One star for the use of the little staples used on the thatch. Can not recommend them for any installation adjacent to a pool, due to the use of such small staples, along with the number of them left in the pool after the original tops were replaced. We had a very minor issue with loose staples on the original install, and no small staples were used.
