one time step
Before First Use
We recommend doing this step at home before using your cabana for the first time.
Once your canopy is loaded on the poles, you never have to remove it (unless you want to wash it or switch up your colour with a replacement canopy!)
how to
Load Your Poles
STEP 1:
Gather your two long poles
STEP 2:
Insert last section of pole into tunnel, until the fabric is fully loaded. Repeat with second long pole in second tunnel.
STEP 3: Roll poles toward eachother, in scroll fashion.
*Always leave canopy loaded on the poles for quick & easy setup & take-down.
Quick & Easy
Shade Tent Assembly
When the sun is hot & the sand burns your feet, you need shade fast!
Suniela cabanas assemble in less than 2 minutes.
how to
Set up Suniela Shade
STEP 1:
Unroll cabana, push the pole ends (nearest the fabric) into the sand, keeping fabric taut between poles
STEP 2:
Build frame one segment at a time, bending as you go to create the perfect arch. Push pole ends straight down into sand. *always ensure depth of 7" / 15cm for stability*
STEP 3:
Standing between the arch poles, pull canopy over frame
STEP 4:
Snap each cross-pole onto the frame, using tunnel openings as guides
quick & easy
Cabana Take Down
The last thing you want at the end of the day is to spend time packing up your gear!
Suniela shade take-down is the exact same as assembly - just in reverse!
How to
Take it Down
STEP 1:
Remove each cross-pole from the frame
STEP 2: Slide canopy all the way to one side
STEP 3:
Deconstruct arch poles, leaving canopy loaded on bottom sections
STEP 4: Roll poles toward eachother
mix it up
Change Your Colour
Now you can switch up your canopy to suit your mood!
Mix & match any replacement canopy with your existing poles to give your beach day a refresh!

The little 3-legged neighbourhood dog. I forget his name but he is super cute and very lucky as the owner rescued it from a village in the mountains somewhere after it got its leg caught in an animal trap. Poor little thing...poor any animal that gets caught in a trap...but at least now it's safe and well taken care of. He gets around extremely well despite loss of much of its leg!

Trying to decide if I want the creamy but hot "pumpkin soup" or a cold "healthy dessert jar" (fresh yogurt, fruits, and seeds) for brunch. Both are delicious. It's 23c here and overcast so almost feels a little chilly to this now somewhat acclimatised Canadian. I even have a sweater on...a lightweight one mind you

The little Macaques at the beginning of video were just babies, and much smaller than appear in this video as I was zoomed in. Macaques of all ages have the sweetest little "wizened" faces...and just full of play! Sooo fun to watch all their antics! I could watch them all day and day after day I'm sure.
