Want to know what to expect from cabana installation? Read on to get a better idea of what you need to know before making the investment and how the process works.
Structural Design and Engineering
Although cabanas are typically simple structures, the unique features of your property and whether you want the cabana to be freestanding or attached to your home influence how much design and engineering are necessary. Custom cabana installation may require adding a foundation and steel posts and beams to ensure structural integrity.
During the design process, you’ll need to make decisions regarding the style and appearance of the cabana. When attaching the cabana to your home, the cabana’s style should match your home’s materials and architecture. A freestanding structure allows for more creativity in the cabana design, but it should still coordinate with the rest of the property and the landscape.
Be aware that some communities require homeowners to secure a permit before adding a cabana, especially when the project requires significant structural work.
Selecting Features
One of the most appealing aspects of adding a cabana to your property is the ability to customize it exactly how you want to create the outdoor living space of your dreams. The more features you add, from lighting and fans to outdoor kitchens, the more complex the installation. Adding running water and electricity, for example, will require the services of a plumber and electrician to ensure safety.
Some manufacturers offer cabanas with sought-after features already included, such as LED lights and smart controls to manage louvers and customize the amount of light or shade. These features can save on installation costs and time.
Timeframe
The complexity of the cabana design and how much preparation your property needs determines how long the installation takes to complete. It’s possible to install a simple cabana with minimal extra features and a basic design in about two weeks or less, while a more complex addition may require several months of work. This estimate does not include the time required to design the cabana and get the necessary permits, which can add several months to the project timeline.
