If you ask us, there is no more luxurious outdoor design element than a poolside cabana. While we’re big fans of adjustable seats, we’re willing to go the extra mile and add a booth whenever possible. After all, cabanas do little more than regular poolside seating. These ingenious lounge chairs provide a stylish ambiance of shade, privacy and, most importantly, a refuge from insects.
So, if your outdoor space has a swimming pool, this is your chance to spice things up. Below, we’ve rounded up our best sheds that not only protect your precious pores from burns and bugs, but also improve the appearance of your backyard. Not to mention, they may even make you more of an outdoor enthusiast. The best part is that we’ve found something to suit every type of yard – big or small.
From modern options with 120 square feet of covered space to wicker cubes with round openings and luxurious daybeds, there’s a lot to consider. Our personal favorite? Pottery Barn design with adjustable daybed, Sunbrella curtains and built-in coffee table. If you don’t want to opt for white-glove delivery and build the cabin yourself, there are several DIY options available. (Don’t worry, they’re easy to make!) In fact, some of them even come with a tool kit. No matter which one you choose—prefabricated or ready-to-assemble—you’ll love this poolside purchase.
Finding a balance between a classic gazebo and a traditional gazebo, this stylish canopy is perfect for those who love hosting summer parties. With 120 square feet of covered space, you can fit a lot of stuff under this powder coated steel roof. Our favorites are curtains that provide more privacy and, of course, keep bugs out.
Featuring a powder-coated aluminum frame, this rust-resistant cabin can withstand any weather conditions, from heavy downpours to weather with a UV index of 9 or higher. There are also removable curtains and nets that can be adjusted using dual tracks or individually.
This cube-shaped daybed is similar to what we saw in the pool of a luxury hotel in Miami. This is an oasis of comfort that you will want to enjoy all summer long, because it is designed for two, especially since it does not require any maintenance. After all, pillows, pillows and curtains are made of waterproof polyester.
This sofa bed is truly built to withstand any storm. Crafted from high-quality Grade A teak (the same wood used on most luxury yachts) and flexible, quick-drying foam lining, this ethereal retreat is the perfect retreat for the hottest summer days. With two adjustable chairs and a built-in side table, there’s virtually no point in getting up once you’re seated. Finally, you can choose any stylish Sunbrella pattern for your outdoor fabric.
With an open roof and two swinging benches, this Heywood design isn’t exactly your typical cabin, but we love it. This gazebo is available in three finishes, and while we’re partial to the black color, it suits any outdoor space.
There’s no better reason to buy this chic cocoon than at a sale price. That’s right, you’ll save $4,800 on a round (modular) sofa with an adjustable lampshade. While the tint may look sheer, it provides comprehensive UV protection when you need it most.
Featuring a sophisticated tiered roof and a frame that is UV, rust and water resistant, this Purple Leaf Gazebo makes the perfect poolside cabana. Plus, our favorite elements are the ones that aren’t visible in the photos. Its frame has U-shaped hooks for hanging towels, lanterns, and even flower baskets.
It may look like a classic Balinese gazebo, but it’s more modern. Its beams are made of powder-coated steel, which, unlike wood, requires no maintenance and does not rust. Plus, the convertible top allows you to admire the stars at night and enjoy shade during the day.
This 12′ x 15′ UV protected sunroom is like a miniature home with durable polycarbonate panels, two sliding doors and interchangeable screens. A word to the wise: it’s not insulated, so you probably don’t want to hang out here in the middle of winter.
The size of your pool cabana depends on how much space you have. Ideally, your cabana should be proportional to the size of your pool, but if you’re short on space, the optimal cabana size should be at least large enough to accommodate a sun lounger.
There are two types of cabins: temporary cabins, which are made of canvas or vinyl, and permanent cabins, which are permanent cabins and are usually made of wood or metal.
The easiest way to upgrade your pool is with a cabana, and we’ve found some of the most stylish options on the market at a variety of price points. You can even make the project more affordable by building the cabin yourself.
