One CoolCabana, double the use

We typically recommend a Large for families or groups of three and above. A Medium is ideal for a group of one to two.

It is important to note that while the Large is only about 3 inches longer than the Medium when packed up, it provides 45% more shade when open. That extra coverage makes a real difference on a full beach day.

If you are deciding between the two, we almost always suggest going with the Large. The weight difference is minimal and the additional shade is well worth it.

A Large CoolCabana opens to 8' x 8' (2.4m x 2.4m), providing 64 square feet (5.8m²) of shade. That is more than double the shade of a standard 6-foot (1.8m) beach umbrella, which typically provides around 28 sq ft.

A Medium CoolCabana opens to 6'7" x 6'7" (2m x 2m), providing 43 square feet (4m²) of shade.

Yes! The CoolCabana fabric provides UPF 50+ shade that significantly reduces UV exposure, blocking 98% of UV rays. We test our fabrics at least annually with the leading third party testing services (SGS and TUV). See our latest (Oct 2025) test reports here and here.

For full UV protection, leading health organizations recommend combining shade with other sun-safe habits: wear sun-protective clothing, a brimmed hat, and wrap-around sunglasses, and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen. Learn more at the Skin Cancer Foundation.

Every CoolCabana purchase includes:

• Your CoolCabana
• Middle Pole(s). Size large uses one middle pole, size medium uses two middle poles
• Sand spike (for anchoring the center pole into sand)
• Ergonomically designed carry bag with a shoulder strap

Setup instructions are stitched to the inside of the carry bag for easy reference. No additional tools or equipment are needed for beach use.

If you want to use your CoolCabana on grass, you will need the Grass Kit (sold separately), which includes specially designed pegs, a hammer, and a grass spike.

CoolCabanas are designed to be easily carried on your beach or lake journey.

They come with an ergonomically designed carry bag featuring a shoulder strap. The Large weighs 16.5lbs / 7.5kg and the Medium weighs 13.2lbs / 6kg, making them comparable in weight to most large beach umbrellas.

When packed up, a Large CoolCabana measures 42in / 107cm and a Medium measures 39in / 100cm, so they are compact enough to carry under one arm or slung over your shoulder.

Yes! CoolCabanas will fit in almost all cars.

When in the carry bag, CoolCabanas measure 42in / 107cm (Large) and 39in / 100cm (Medium). They slide easily into the trunk, back seat, or even the footwell of most vehicles. Many customers keep theirs in the car throughout beach season so they are always ready to go.

Yes! CoolCabanas can be used on grass, making them ideal for use at sporting games, the park, or lake.

For use on grass, you will need to pick up our Grass Kit. It includes specially designed pegs, a hammer, and a grass spike that replaces the standard sand spike. The Grass Kit allows you to anchor your CoolCabana securely on any grassy surface.

If you order a CoolCabana and a Grass Kit together, the Grass Kit will likely be packed inside your CoolCabana box.

Yes! All CoolCabanas have been designed to be set up by one person. The process involves placing the center spike, opening the four arms one at a time, and filling each sand pocket. Most people complete setup in 3 to 5 minutes on their own.

First-time setup typically takes a little longer (around 5 minutes), but once you have done it once, it becomes second nature. Instructions are also stitched inside the carry bag for quick reference.
