Design concept

A pool cabana brings the kitchen, the bar, the washroom and the shade out to where people actually spend their summer. Done well, it stops the constant traffic of wet feet through the house and makes the pool the centre of the yard.

We design cabanas as small buildings, because that is what they are. They need proper footings, a roof that handles snow, and plumbing and electrical that respect the pool's safety rules. A change room or washroom adds drainage and venting to the plan.

The kitchen part ranges from a bar fridge and sink to a full cooking line. We size it to how you host: casual afternoons with the kids, or evening parties that run late.

What is included

Pool cabanas with kitchens by Lintel

  • Cabana structure

    Roofed or partly enclosed structures with footings, framing and finishes that suit the house.

  • Outdoor kitchen and bar

    Grills, refrigeration, ice makers and bar seating facing the pool.

  • Change rooms and washrooms

    Plumbed washrooms or change rooms, where the site allows, so guests stay outside.

  • Lounge and shade

    Covered seating, ceiling fans, heaters and TV walls for long summer days.

  • Pool-safe electrical

    Circuits, GFCI protection and fixture placement planned around the pool.

  • Storage

    Space for pool equipment, towels and furniture cushions out of the weather.

Before you build

What to plan for

  • Pools come with rules

    Electrical near pools, enclosure requirements and setbacks from property lines are regulated, and they vary by municipality. We plan the cabana around them from the start.

  • Plumbing a cabana takes planning

    A sink or washroom needs a drain connection and winterizing. Running lines while the yard is open costs far less than adding them later.

FAQ

Pool cabanas with kitchens: common questions

Does a pool cabana need a permit?

Most cabanas of any real size, and any with plumbing or electrical, need a permit. Requirements depend on the structure and your municipality, and we handle the applications.

Can a cabana have a washroom?

Often, yes, if a drain connection is practical from the cabana's location. We assess this during the site visit because it can affect where the cabana goes.

When should we build a pool cabana?

If you are also building a pool, plan both together so services are run once. For an existing pool, building in spring or fall avoids losing your summer to construction.
