A multi-sided portable cabana that exhibits increased structural integrity and added dimensional qualities when compared to conventional cabanas, and that is also accessible to persons having physical disabilities. The cabana includes a generally flat, planar base and a plurality of interchangeable wall panels coupled to the base that extend generally perpendicularly upwardly from the base. A roof panel is affixed atop the plurality of wall panels. A door frame, including a door hingedly connected thereto, is positioned between two of the plurality of wall panels and includes a bottom edge generally co-planar with the flat base. Each of a plurality of wall connectors is positioned between adjacent wall panels in a lengthwise manner for coupling the adjacent wall panels. A wall rib is secured to an inner surface of at least two of the retainers and spaced apart therefrom to increase the structural integrity of the cabana, and to also provide persons with disabilities, such as those confined to wheelchairs, access to facilities housed within the cabana interior in compliance with regulations set forth by the Americans with Disabilities Act. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Referring to the drawings; in which like numerals reference like parts, a transportable stand-alone cabana according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown generally at 10.
The cabana is a six-sided enclosure having a structure that increases both the cabana interior dimensions and the cabana structural integrity when compared to conventional four-sided toilet cabanas.
The cabana 10 is lightweight, free standing and is capable of being moved or transported from one location to another with relative ease.
Also, as will be described in more detail below, the cabana is also designed to conform with the guidelines set forth by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), thereby making the interior of the cabana, and restroom facilities housed within the cabana interior, accessible to physically impaired persons, and particularly those confined to wheelchairs.
As shown in FIGS.
1 and 2, the cabana 10 includes a base 12 having five interchangeable wall panels 14a-14e, a door 16 hinged to a corresponding door frame 18, and a roof 20.
As shown in FIG.
2, the rear of the cabana also includes a vent stack 22 fitted between two of the interchangeable panels for venting the enclosed area defined within the cabana in a manner well known in the art.
The structure and function of each of the above-identified elements will be separately described in detail below.
Referring to FIG.
4, the base 12 is a generally flat planar sheet manufactured from reconstituted plastic.
The base is multi-sided, including five sides 24a-24e of identical dimensions and preferably having a length of about 40-48 inches.
Four intersection corners 25a-25d are located between adjacent sides 24a-24e.
The outer edge of each side 24a-24e intersects with an outer edge of an adjacent intersection corner 25a-25d at an angle preferably of about 120.
degree.
.
A sixth side 26 corresponds to the location of the cabana door and door frame and is greater in length than the base sides 24a-24e, having a length of about 54 inches
