3 Favorite Pool House Designs
Your personal — and outdoor — style are your own, and we can build the cabana to match. While traditional pool house designs will never go out of style, you have more options than ever before. See 3 of our favorite cabana designs, each of which perfectly complements the space and the pool around it.
The classic pool house, this style of cabana provides privacy, shade, and a classically upscale feel for your backyard. This type is most easily recognized thanks to its tall height and rectangular structure. A great choice for many yards, this is still the single most popular style we build.
Shop Traditional Cabanas
This unique pool house design takes inspiration from the shape of a traditional gazebo. While they tend to be a bit smaller than the other designs, these cabanas offer everything you’d expect in a refreshingly interesting package.

One of the reasons that cabanas pair so well with pools is that they provide that sought-after upscale luxury look — and a whole host of practical benefits. Most notably, the majority of pool house designs often include space to change clothes. However, that’s just the beginning when it comes to inspiring backyard cabana ideas — see our 4 essentials right here:
- Privacy — The ultimate convenience factor, having a cabana means that you’ll be able to change into or out of your swimwear without needing to trek back into the house. This is the main advantage that pool houses have over all other pool accessories.
Did you know pergolas are great for privacy? See our privacy pergolas! - A View of the Pool — We’re willing to bet your kids love the pool just as much as you do. Depending on their age, though, when they’re swimming, you’re on lifeguard duty. That’s why the best cabanas have at least one room with a view of the pool.
- Outdoor Shade — Even if you soak up the summer sun at every chance you get, getting a break is essential from time-to-time. All cabanas will provide you with complete shade whether it’s in the enclosed section or under an overhang.
- Personal Style — As is the case with any of our backyard structures, bringing a pool house to your yard enhances your outdoor décor. Finding a cabana idea that speaks to your unique style will work to create your HGTV-worthy outdoor living space.
