A cabana or cabaña is a temporary or permanent free standing shade structure with traversing curtains, decorative drapes and/or solid walls. Cabanas are fabricated from a variety of materials and in sizes ranging from 4ft x 4ft dressing rooms, up to 40ft x 80ft hospitality suites. Typical sizes are 10ft x 10ft, 12ft x 12ft, and 8ft x 16ft.

Cabana frames are made of aluminum or steel with a polyester powder coat paint finish or other durable multi-layer finish or treated wood. Top covers, side walls and/or traversing curtains are made of exterior grade fabrics or thatched materials. Custom cabanas may include accessories such as electrical wiring, ceiling fans, television mounts, partitions, dressing rooms and air vents.
