FAQ
General Information & Features
1. What makes Umbrellissimo Cabanas different from a traditional beach umbrella or tent?
Umbrellissimo Cabanas offer a unique blend of sophisticated style, superior sun protection, and remarkable ease of use. Unlike regular beach umbrellas, our cabanas provide a larger shaded area and more stable protection against wind. They offer better airflow than traditional beach tents, preventing stuffiness, and their elegant design adds a touch of luxury to any outdoor setting. They're designed for both beauty and practicality.
2. What are Umbrellissimo Cabanas made of? Are they durable?
Our cabanas are crafted from high-quality, durable materials designed to withstand the elements. The canopy is made from premium UV-resistant canvas that offers excellent UPF protection. The pole is constructed from sturdy, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant aluminum and beech wood, ensuring longevity and easy transport.
3. What kind of UV protection do Umbrellissimo Cabanas offer?
All Umbrellissimo Cabanas are designed with your sun safety in mind. Our fabrics boast a high UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating of UPF 50+, which blocks over 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays. We always recommend combining the use of our cabanas with other sun protection measures like sunscreen, hat and sunglasses.
4. How much shade do your cabanas provide?
Our cabanas are designed to offer generous shade, comfortably accommodating 2-4 adults, depending if you're sitting or lying down. The exact shaded area is 2x2m | 6.6x6.6ft and can vary slightly based on the angle of the sun, but you can expect ample protection for lounging, reading, or enjoying a picnic.
5. Are Umbrellissimo Cabanas suitable for windy conditions?
Yes! We've designed our cabanas with wind resistance as a key factor. They feature sturdy pole structures and tensioning legs, with sandbags and ground stakes, to provide excellent stability on breezy days. While they are significantly more stable than many traditional umbrellas, we recommend packing up your cabana in high wind conditions for safety.
Setup & Portability
6. How easy is it to set up an Umbrellissimo Cabana?
Incredibly easy! We pride ourselves on the hassle-free setup of our cabanas. They can be fully assembled by one person in just a few minutes, typically under 5 minutes.

7. How much do the cabanas weigh, and are they easy to carry?
Our cabanas are designed to be highly portable. Each weighing 6.4kg | 14lbs. Each cabana comes with a convenient, matching carry bag with a shoulder straps and side pocket, making it effortless to transport to the beach, lake, park, or pool.
8. What are the packed dimensions of a cabana in its carry bag?
Our cabanas are compact enough to fit comfortably in a car boot or be carried on public transport. You can find the exact packed dimensions listed on each specific product page.
Care & Maintenance
9. How do I clean my Umbrellissimo Cabana?
Keeping your cabana in pristine condition is simple! We recommend spot cleaning the fabric canopy with a mild soap and water solution, then rinsing thoroughly with clean water. Allow the canopy to air dry completely before packing away to prevent mildew. The poles can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
10. Can I machine wash the fabric canopy?
No, we do not recommend machine washing the canopy as it can damage the fabric's protective coatings and structural integrity. Please follow the spot cleaning instructions provided above.
11. How should I store my cabana when not in use?
For optimal longevity, ensure your cabana is completely dry before packing it into its carry bag. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
