CABANA QUALITY These custom, designed Cabanas are individually
handcrafted in Bali, Indonesia. Known
as knock-down houses, they are traditionally built from the ground up, inspected,
then knocked down for packing. This type of building construction ensures
that the cut wood and drilled holes fit perfectly every time. Our customers
can be reassured that when they receive a Cabana and assemble it, it will be
accomplished smoothly and efficiently.
CABANA WOOD FRAME Using only superior materials and quality
workmanship, the Balinese craftsman are known for their attention to detail as
well as their passion for wood work. The
Cabana frame is made from Bengkirai, a sustainable hardwood farmed in Indonesia. Similar
properties to Teak, it too is insect resistant, very durable and suitable for
outdoor use. Most importantly, all the wood used for the Cabanas
is kiln-dry, so the wood shrinkage is completely minimized. Each wood piece
is carefully labeled for rapid on-site installation.

CABANA CANOPY
The Cabana Canopy is made from 100% Sunbrella® fabric, a product
of Glen Raven Inc. This Acrylic fabric has many applications but this particular
heavier grade of Sunbrella® is used for Awning and Marine products. Sunbrella®’s
well known properties include its ability to not fade in the presence of harmful
ultra-violet rays, remaining completely waterproof and mildew resistant as well
as being easy to clean. The Canopy has a lifespan of 4-6 years.
The Canopy is draped and fitted over the roof of the frame and then secured
to the frame at the ends of the eight rafters of the roof with Velcro boots. Web
ties along the inside seam of the Canopy are then tied to the inside rafters
for additional security. There is also a wind flap at the peak that allows
excess winds and gusts to escape. For winds that exceed 25 mph, we
recommend that the Canopy be taken off the fame, which can be easily removed
and stored.
