Abstract
An outdoor toilet cabana is formed of pair of side walls whose opposite vertical edges are bent to form angled corner sections having their free edge portions bent into vertical strip-like flanges that extend in approximately the same plane towards the opposite, corresponding flanges of the opposite wall. A rear wall has side edge strip-like portions that are aligned in approximately the same plane as the flanges of the side wall. Extruded strips are formed with oppositely opening channels to receive the adjacent side wall flanges and rear wall edge portions. These channels are deeper than the portions of the flanges and rear wall strips received therein so that they can accommodate variations in wall dimensions while still providing a rigid cabana of pre-determincd size. A doorway is formed between the flanges on the forward side of the side walls. A substantially continuous extruded doorway edge strip extends along the jambs and the header of the doorway. The extruded doorway strip is provided with a channel for receiving the flanges of the side walls and for receiving a depending flange formed on a roof arranged over the walls. In addition, the doorway strip is provided with a second, drain channel positioned on the forward outer surface of the cabana for directing rain water from the header and roof along the side jambs of the doorway. The doorway strip includes a substantially continuous flange extending inwardly of the doorway to provide a stop for a door arranged within the doorway. The channel of the doorway strip which receives the wall and roof flanges is deeper than the normally received portions of those flanges for accommodating variations in dimensions of the side walls and roof.
