Outdoor Tiki Torches Always a Fun and Enjoyable Addition to Any Home or Party
|
The flames on the tiki torch dance in the warm, evening breeze while the thick,
rich scent of island flowers fills the night air and gentle sounds of quiet waves
lap the beach. Ahhhh . . . paradise! And what would paradise be without tiki torches? They just go together so well. A backyard garden or deck wouldn’t be complete without at least one tiki torch! Maybe because they’ve been around so long….
Not so long ago tiki torches were still the primary source of light on many
islands. They were constructed of bamboo and fueled with oil. Today, though, tiki torches are made of many different types of materials and even the fuels are varied. Want to know more? Just keep following along!
First decide what style you want. For example, if your tastes are more eclectic or art deco, you might appreciate ceramic tiki torches, usually very colorful. In
fact, they can become your focal point instead of just a subtle side light. Since
ceramic is breakable you’ll have to be more careful when cleaning and storing these tiki torches. Another decision: do you want the traditional in-ground variety, table top, floor standing, deck rail attachments or . . . ? Yes, tiki torches have come a long way!
What about fuel sources? Some tiki torches are now battery-operated and have no flame. These torches can be used indoors and outdoors as well. This is an especially intelligent choice when you have a lot of children around, and they look so real it’s hard to tell the difference! And now another choice just in time for the energy crisis – you can get a solar tiki torch! Oh, but you’re feeling a little exotic? Want to run around your own little patch of “jungle” and sing like Tarzan? Sounds like you’ll want the traditional favorite: the bamboo tiki torch. They’re the original tiki torch and the most authentic . . . you’ll be beating your chest in no time! All tiki torches are easy to maintain and store. To clean a bamboo tiki torch you just need mild soap, water, and a rag. When storing your tiki torches, stand them upright if you don’t drain the fuel. You can lay the torches on their sides if you drain and store the fuel separately, but make sure to lay them on tarps or other plastic to prevent scratches to the torches.
Tiki torches are always a fun and entertaining addition to any home or party.
They’re always ready for whatever mood you’re in. Kind of like a really good
friend, someone you can just be yourself with . . . while you’re beating your chest
and swinging from trees, of course!
