Construction began on tuesday november 3 2009 with a crew of four on site.
Nipa roof construction.
The roof has tin roof and the owner puts a nipa material like straw hat materials or a cogon blady grass kunai grass or japanese blood grass on top the tin roof to make to look like a native house.
Building a synthetic nipa is much simpler and faster than building a traditional one.
As for walls sawali can be used framed with bamboo slats.
Based in santa ana nipa is a general contractor.
The walls are all brick.
Come join us while we are putting the nipa roofs on both cabanas.
For the mean time enjoy these picture of nipa hut in the philippines.
Synthetic nipa roofing is also maintenance free easier to repair and more cost effective especially in the long run.
We also included never before seen special bonus video of the great pyramids of the philip.
The use of nipa in thatching roofing had been slowly diminishing due to the introduction of the use of gi sheets in modern houses.
They provide services such as accessibility construction patio construction storm shelter installation and other services.
Nipa finished a deck project in september of 2013 in the universi.
With nice front porch.
Through different creativity and integration let me remind you with the original nipa hut used by our farmers.
The standard filipino column footer and four 10mm rebar column reinforcement.
These structures were temporary made from plant materials like bamboo.
Here s a few photos.
Original nipa hut in the philippines.
The roof will be of nipa the thatched leaf of the nipa palm.
A typical materials in building bahay kubo uses bamboo and coco lumber for the beams and joist nipa shingles for the roof and windows bamboo slats for flooring railings and even for benches and stair steps.
Amid the introduction of new materials in the construction of houses many still prefer to use the traditional nipa for their roofing.
It s a very nice house and the cost was reasonable.
Nipa huts were the native houses of the indigenous people of the philippines before the spaniards arrived.
