Cabana storage cabinets
Several years ago our clients had built a cabana beside
their pool including a family size couch, exterior grade TV and two niches for
future storage cabinets for their pool toys and life preservers, etc.
Problem:
They wanted the two cabinets to weather well in our summer’s
hot & humid environment, and also would be protected from the harsh winter’s
cold & dry elements. They must be very airy so stored items would dry and they
had to match their existing poolside furniture.
Solution:
Our solution was to create two cabinets that could be broken
down with out tools or skills, the Teak surfaces could be stored for winter
with the other furniture while the stainless steel structural frame could
remain outside all year with out rusting and staining their natural stone
pavers. Each cabinet is basically a solid countertop and a front frame with
doors in a lower slatted shelf for the stored items.
Since the existing furniture were gray and washed out it
would be impossible to match so we washed and sanded them down to bare wood and
re-oiled them by hand with three or more coats of Teak oil to replenish the
woods natural oils and color. The new
Teak, which is naturally oily to the touch, only required one to two coats.
