At the Casbah - Pool Cabanas

In warmer clients many homeowners have pools. A necessity if you want to find some escape from the scorching summer sun. On my first trip to Hawaii, I absolutely fell in love with the pool cabanas. Rather than having to fidget with umbrellas, these roomy tents usually accommodate two lounge chairs and two small tables, making it comfortable to sit out, without being baked crisp.

Later on, I came across "fancy cabanas" like the 1st image. Looking at the anatomy of a cabana I figured even a EZ Up tent could easily spruced up to double as a cabana. I even used my EZ Up for art shows and made it stand out by giving it a little face lift.

Just thought for some inspiration for the DIY crowd!
