Cabanas are small tent-like structures used for shade and changing rooms near beaches and swimming pools. They can be temporary or permanent, made of various materials, and vary in size and amenities. Some even have bathrooms and running water.
A cabana is a small tent-like structure designed to provide shade. It is typically used at the beach or next to a swimming pool. In addition to providing shade, the huts are often used as changing rooms. Some cabanas are even used as premises for cooking meals to be eaten by the water. A cabana can be temporary or permanent, but is almost always free-standing.
In tropical climates, huts are typically small huts. These shade structures are usually built with thatched roofs. However, when designed for use near swimming pools or in popular beach holiday spots, they often have wooden, aluminum or steel frames. Sometimes, they’re even constructed from man-made materials, like plastic. The type of material used is strongly influenced by the hut’s intended use and the buyer’s/user’s budget.
The cabanas vary widely in size. A small cabana can be as small as 1.2 by 1.2 meters, similar to a small bathroom. A large cabana, on the other hand, can be as large as a hospitality suite, coming in at around 40 by 80 feet (12.2 by 24.4 meters). The most common cabana sizes are 10 by 10 feet (3.05 by 3.05 meters) and 12 by 12 feet (3.7 by 3.7 meters). The 12 by 16 foot (3.7 by 4.9 meters) cabana is also commonly found.
Cabanas also vary widely in terms of amenities. Some are just simple structures that do nothing but keep the sun on their occupants’ heads. Others have curtains to provide some privacy for changing clothes or taking a quick nap. However, some cabins include things like electrical wiring and air vents. Luxury cabanas may also include ceiling fans and television mounts.
Typical huts have walls made of outdoor quality fabric. The fabric serves to keep the sun out and can provide some protection from rain showers, although they are usually unable to keep the occupants dry during heavy rainstorms. Pool cabanas can be made the same way. However, many pool enclosures are designed to look more like small houses or elaborate sheds. As such, they often have walls made from wood or other hard materials.
The interior of a simple hut can be furnished with a couple of beach or pool lounge chairs, with a table in between to hold cold drinks. However, the size of the cabin often dictates how it can be furnished, and some include much more. Some of the larger pool cabanas may also have bathrooms and running water. There are even some portable cabanas designed to hold nothing more than a single beach chair and its occupant. These can be folded up and taken away when not in use.
