We used bamboo planking on ours. Similar to hard wood floor planks. Nice accent with bamboo poles and/or thatch.

I'm partial to tile, but given the choice of glass or plexi, I wold go for the glass.

We are going with 1/4" plate glass because it's cheaper than Lexan. Lexan doesn't yellow and scratch very easily, but Plexi-glass does.

Between the two, get yourself Tempered Glass. Plexi scratches up way to easily.

Well, since I ma going to install Lauhala matting on the top of the bar then also put stickers, postcards, pics, ect on the top I am still a little puzzled to what to use. I like the idea of glass, but not sure how to do and were as water or drinks will spill thru the glass, any suggestions my fellow tikis. Thanks, i love you guys and this site. Oh my wife just gave a firepit to put in the backyard for my birthday, yeah.
