FAQs

Canopies & Cabanas FAQ's

What's the difference between a canopy and a cabana?

A canopy is typically a simple overhead structure providing shade, while a cabana is a more elaborate shelter that often includes sidewalls, curtains, and can function as a private outdoor room. Canopies are usually more portable, while cabanas tend to be semi-permanent installations.

The lifespan varies depending on:

  • Material quality
  • Weather exposure
  • Maintenance

Popular materials include:

  • Weather-resistant polyester
  • Treated canvas
  • UV-protected fabrics
  • Powder-coated aluminum frames
  • Marine-grade materials for poolside use

This depends on:

  • Your local climate
  • The structure’s durability
  • Installation type Most portable canopies should be stored during severe weather, while permanent cabanas can be designed for year-round use with proper weatherproofing.

Consider:

  • Intended use (seating, dining, poolside)
  • Number of people to accommodate
  • Available space
  • Furniture placement Common sizes range from 8×8 feet for intimate settings to 12×12 feet or larger for entertaining spaces.

Working with Samar at Shades by Design has been a pleasure. She has been creative, responsive, caring and professional throughout the project. She is a positive, can do kind of person and made it any easy experience. Sam and Joe, their installers were also terrific. They showed up on time, were very nice and professional and good at what they did. Overall a great experience. There was a small stain on one of the cornices when it arrived from production but the manager has been advised and I’m waiting to hear back.
