The Evolution of the Cabana – from Tiki Hut to Modern Aluminum Cabana

Just ask someone to imagine a cabana and their mind will immediately leap to sheer relaxation. For some, envisioning a cabana may evoke a rustic thatched hut standing alone on an endless beach. Others may conjure a well-appointed pool-side hideaway at a luxury resort. Over its centuries of evolution, the cabana has always been connected with revitalizing refreshment and enjoyment. From its early days as mere changing room for Romans enjoying communal bath houses to the modern-day patio cabana seen in backyards and pool decks throughout America, the cabana holds a mood-altering appeal. What is a Cabana? At its most elemental, a cabana is a free-standing structure intended to provide privacy and shade. Cabanas usually feature a roof and three walls, with an open front which faces the pool or beach. The structure can often be seen with a sturdy fixed roof, though flexible cloth or canvass roofs are popular among the luxury resorts of Las Vegas and Miami Beach. At the beach or pool resort, cabanas can be reserved for the day to provide guests a private space to change, or shut off from the crowds. Cabanas have also become a popular addition for homeowners looking to bring this resort-style luxury to their own outdoor living spaces. History of the Cabana The earliest cabanas date back to the Roman Empire. Before the advent of modern plumbing, Romans of ever social class frequented communal bath houses. For the well-off Romans the bath houses were often well-appointed with gilding and marble throughout. Roman engineers even devised methods to heat the water and the small private changing rooms off the large communal baths. As bathing became a more private activity performed in the home, the convivial social aspects of the baths became less about personal hygiene and more about relaxing and socializing. The cabana evolved from a simple changing room to a shaded relaxation space to spend the day poolside. Roman Style Cabana with veils In the US, cabanas are often associated with luxury resorts or refined beach-front relaxation. For homeowners looking to bring that luxury feel to their own homes, cabanas have become a serene addition to a patio, deck, garden or pool deck. Simple DIY cabana kits can offer basic shade over a daybed, but many homeowners are choosing sturdier structures that can withstand the elements and make their cabana into an all-weather relaxation destination. Modern cabanas often feature modular, fully-customizable structures that can fit in alongside any home’s architectural style and adjust to the homeowner’s desired use of the space. Modern Aluminum Cabana and Design The great flexibility of modern cabanas is due in large part to the materials with which the structures are built. Traditionally, cabanas have been fabricated from wood. More and more, homeowners are turning to more durable materials such as lightweight vinyl, or for a truly life-long structure, aluminum. An aluminum cabana, properly powder coated, not only makes for an aesthetically appealing look, but ensures the cabana will stand up to brutal coastal weather, even snow and ice. These modern materials also enable extensive engineering flexibility. The Azenco K-Bana, for example, leverages its aluminum construction to eliminate the need for traditional footings or a foundation. It relies on its unique self-leveling post bases to adjust to uneven ground. Without the need for footings, the K-Bana often requires no building permit, helping homeowners streamline their cabana installation. Beyond their structural advantages, the adoption of these modern materials also allows flexibility in how homeowners use their cabanas, how they can be customized to fit into today’s modern architecture, and the intuitive features that can be embedded in the structure. Luxury Aluminum Cabana While a traditional cabana can still serve its original purpose as a mild-mannered changing room, an aluminum cabana can be customized to bring the Zen of a luxurious getaway to any backyard. Modern pergolas are often fully-modular designs, allowing homeowners to mix-and-match paneled segments to create unique shaped and sized outdoor living spaces. This modular design allows the cabana to easily scale from cozy pool-side respite to expansive outdoor dining room. Other modern features which can be easily incorporated into a modular freestanding cabana design include: Telescopic sliding walls fitted with fixed or adjustable louvers to maintain airflow while ensuring privacyMotorized louvered roof panels can open and close at the touch of a button and seal out the rainIntegrated drainage hides the downspouts inside the aluminum frame for a clean exterior look while shipping water away from the cabana’s living spaceIntegrated screens can guarantee privacy and shade while adding a décor accent to tie the space togetherIntuitive features like embedded power outlets, infrared heaters, etc. bring true all-weather livability to the cabanaCustomized flooring can be uniquely matched to the surrounding design aesthetic to coordinate with composite or wood decking, tile or even panels of manicured grass that seamlessly blend with a surrounding lawn The cabana has come a long way since its genesis alongside the Roman baths. Its unique ability to relax the mind, body and soul has long made the cabana a favorite vacation respite. With the advent of modern cabana materials unlocking some truly unique design possibilities, homeowners can now bring this luxurious resort amenity to their own patio cabana.

Can a Pergola Be Hurricane Rated?

Any outdoor structure like a pergola or cabana has to be able to stand up to whatever Mother Nature is going to throw at it. For homeowners living in hurricane zones, the term “all-weather” takes on a whole new meaning. If you live in a heavy wind or hurricane-prone area, such as Texas or Florida, will your pergola stay secure in the unpredictable and powerful winds? We get asked that question quite often here at Azenco. In short, there are two important factors that allow a pergola to withstand a hurricane. First, the pergola structure itself must be of the highest quality. Your pergola has to be fabricated from materials that can stand up to extreme weather, with joints and internal structural engineering that is up to the task. Second, anchoring your pergola is absolutely critical. If you live in a windy area, the footings for your pergola will need to be engineered to withstand hurricane-force winds. There are also some intuitive design elements that can help your pergola ride out a major storm too! Can a pergola resist a Category 4 or Category 5 hurricane? Azenco pergolas are fabricated from high-quality, powered-coated aluminum and engineered to be as strong as physically possible. In geographic areas that see extensive high winds, our qualified local dealers work with customers to conduct the site-specific engineering necessary to ensure their pergola will have the best chance to withstand a hurricane. No pergola can be guaranteed to resist a mega-storm like a Category 5 hurricane, but every effort can be taken to ensure it fares as best as possible. There are a couple things you can look for to ensure your pergola is engineered for these types of weather such a Miami-Dade Certification of Acceptance. Florida’s Miami-Dade county has some of the highest standards in the country for storm-rated construction. Their local building code requires that structures incorporate lab-tested, wind-resistant design, and its standards have become a nationally recognized bar for most coastal high-wind zones. Azenco pergolas are designed to meet these strict Miami-Dade standards, and have secured a Notice of Certification (NOA) from the county. While these certifications ensure the structure is sound, it is important to remember that the above-ground portions of the pergola are just one part of the overall design that will ultimately safeguard your investment. All-weather pergola in TexasPergola installation site in Florida What is a hurricane rated pergola? A “hurricane rated pergola” is actually a bit of a misnomer. Let us explain. If you live in an area affected by hurricanes, you may be familiar with hurricane-rated windows, also known as “impact windows.” Manufacturers are able to subject their windows to lab testing in order to secure the NOA from the county. With proper installation, these NOA-approved windows are expected to withstand hurricane-force winds. Whether installed in a hurricane-rattled coastal area or a calmer inland location, the window is going to perform the same no matter what. Now, if the window is not installed properly, or the framing around the window is of poor quality, the rating on the window quickly becomes irrelevant. Similar to that NOA-approved window, an outdoor structure like a pergola maybe be rated for hurricane force winds, but the proper engineering of its foundations and attachment points, as well as the skilled installation of that pergola will be critical to its ability to resist a hurricane. Site-Specific Engineering Drives Hurricane Durability Erecting a pergola intended to sustain the force of hurricane winds requires it to be engineered to meet (and exceed) the anticipated loads on the structure. When designing a pergola and its footings, the structural engineering will vary to meet the unique site conditions of each project. Essentially, you could install the same pergola in both front and back yard, but the engineering will vary to meet the exact location conditions, such as: Soil conditionsPredominant weather conditions for the areaGeographic locationFlooding considerationsLocal building codes and storm-rating requirements According to Jason Herring, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of SYZYGY Global and a member of the Azenco leadership team, “Each pergola project is unique unto itself depending on anticipated wind conditions, soil sampling, and local building requirements. So, the engineering for each and every pergola is site-specific. For example, while six-inch bolts may suffice in one area, the engineering for a high wind zone may demand 12-inch bolts. Footings for the pergola can similarly vary from a mere foot in depth to multiple feet deep, depending on the unique conditions of the property.” Wait a minute, a contractor said that they could install a hurricane rated pergola. What that contractor really means is that they will design your pergola to withstand hurricane winds. No structure can be guaranteed to survive extreme weather, but quality material, precision manufacturing, and a qualified installer can go a long way to ensure durability against extreme weather. Choosing a pergola from a manufacturer using the highest-grade materials will ensure your pergola is of the highest quality and less likely to be weakened by wear and tear. Selecting a locally-knowledgeable installer brings a wealth of localized experience to your pergola project, and helps ensure attachment points and footings are robustly engineered for your unique site conditions. Making sure your pergola project is properly installed will also go a long way to its durability and storm resistance. So, make sure to choose the right contractor. Freestanding or attached to the house? Some homeowners assume that a pergola attached to their home will better withstand storms than a freestanding structure. In some cases, the house may buffer a storm’s impact on a pergola, but its ability to do that depends on the condition of the home, its design and build-quality. No matter if your pergola is attached or freestanding, our network of qualified dealers will ensure every NOA-rated Azenco pergola is properly engineered and installed to meet the necessary local building codes. The combination of which will go a long way to safeguard your investment during a hurricane. Azenco Pergolas and carports in […]
The Best in Outdoor Living: A Pergola With Motorized Louvered Roof

Homeowners have several options for shading a deck or patio. This article discusses the benefits and limitations of some options for covering an outdoor living space. We’re also going to take a detailed look at the motorized louvered pergola and why it is the perfect solution for enjoying your outdoor space. A pergola with a motorized louvered roof can do more than block the sun’s rays, it can turn your outdoor space into a smart and versatile all-weather destination. What does an automatic louvered patio cover offer that umbrellas, sunshades and awnings do not? While umbrellas, sunshades, and awnings all provide shade, their drawbacks can be frustrating for homeowners. UMBRELLLAS: Beyond their square footage limitations, umbrellas don’t really delivery much in the style department. Also, homeowners have to remember to close an umbrella on windy days because most are not designed to withstand strong winds. Additionally, the lifespan of an umbrella is shorter than a sturdier structure, such as a pergola.SUNSHADES: After you install a sunshade, it remains fixed in place. If there are days that you’d like sunshine on your deck or patio, such as in the cooler winter months, you will have to totally dismantle the sun shade. It’s a step up from a patio umbrella, but still not the most flexible or convenient patio covering.AWNINGS: While motorized and manual awnings block the sun when extended, they are an all-or-nothing shade option that fail to provide any control over the amount of sun or shade on the patio. You also have to remember to retract them in strong winds to protect against damaging the structure (or your home). From an aesthetic perspective, awnings aren’t as sleek as a modern pergola, which may be a concern for homeowners with a newer home looking to match their home’s architectural style. A shade structure with an auto pergola roof maximizes outdoor living We shared some of the limitations of umbrellas, sunshades, and awnings. Now, let’s talk about pergolas, which can be a far more flexible shade solution for your home. What is a pergola? Attached to your home, a pergola is a structure that allows for a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor living. Freestanding pergolas, supported by four beams, are also an option if you are looking to create a distinct separation between your indoor and outdoor relaxation spaces. Attached to the houseFreestanding Four-season outdoor living A pergola offers protection against the elements, such as rain, wind, sun, and for the northern climates, even the snow. Unlike the other options discussed above, a pergola can make your outdoor living space one that can be enjoyed all year. A pergola for any style of home No matter what kind of outdoor living space you add to your home, you want to make sure it complements the dwelling’s architecture. Avoiding structures that look out of place with your home style is best for your home value, and will make your outdoor space more impressive to guests. Azenco pergolas are fully customized to fit seamlessly into your home’s architecture whether classic, modern or contemporary. Deciding which type of pergola to install is the first step. Selecting between a fixed-roof and adjustable motorized louvered pergola roof pergola will really be based on how you expect to use your new living space. The biggest difference between a fixed roof pergola and one with a motorized louvered roof A pergola with a permanent roof creates full-time shaded areas, while an auto pergola roof creates more flexibility in your outdoor space because you can open the louvers to control the sun penetration. It’s great for days when you want to limit sun exposure but still let light in. Motorized louvers can also be controlled with smart sensors which intuitively close the roof at the first sign of rain, without you lifting a finger. The Azenco R-Blade, an automatic louvered pergola The Azenco R-Blade pergola features a motorized louvered roof and offers the ultimate flexibility for outdoor living. When the sun is too blinding and its heat unbearable, the R-Blade’s louvers can be adjusted to an angle between 30 and 40 degrees to allow some sun penetration while providing plenty of shade. When you want a clear view of the sky, fully open the louvers —there’s no fixed roof to dampen your mood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l958FmgbeI4 One of the great things about having a pergola is that it enables you to stay dry outside when it starts raining. But the R-Blade has additional features that do even more. In case of a rainstorm, the louvers can adjust to about an 8-degree opening, which keeps rain out but still allows some light penetration. Why pergola motorized louvers matter Selecting a motorized pergola is a big decision for homeowners. As with any home renovation, it will be a permanent part of your home. Choosing a pergola with high-quality, well-engineered louvers in its auto pergola roof can make a huge difference in whether your outdoor living space truly seals out the rain. The Azenco R-Blade features insulated dual-walled louvers, and their benefits are twofold. First, the dual-wall design ensures zero water penetration when the roof is closed, so no annoying drips on your dinner party below. Second, they are insulated, which means they can dampen noise. With uninsulated louvers, the sound of rain hitting the roof can interrupt conversation and disrupt the tranquility of a beautiful rainstorm. The R-Blade’s insulated dual-wall louvers absorb the noise of rainfall on the aluminum roof, so you can enjoy peace and quiet outside in any weather. Speaking of noise, be sure to consider the sound emitted when operating a motorized louvered roof. The R-Blade’s motor is whisper-quiet, so you won’t hear jolting sounds when operating it. Optimize your Azenco R-Blade for style and function We know that when you choose to install an Azenco pergola, you are looking for an elegant extension to your living space. This innate quality of our designs begins with the look of the pergola, and extends to its intuitive ease of […]
