 This study involves the fabrication of hybrid laminates using natural fibres such as areca and kenaf through hand-layup method, and their properties are evaluated through various mechanical tests including tensile, compressive, flexural, impact and hardness tests. The results show that composites made with kenaf fibre, as skin material and areca, as core materials exhibit better tensile, flexural and hardness properties, while composites without a layers of areca and core layers of kenaf fibres have high compressive and impact strength. The fractured surfaces after the mechanical tests are investigated through scanning electron microscope, SEM.
