Abstract
A rugged and aesthetically pleasing cabana construction for a portable toilet is disclosed. Resilient plastic walls of the structure are connected to W-shaped corner extrusions to provide the cabana with indented corners to protect them from physical damage. The walls are secured in such a manner so as to minimize shear forces on the fasteners securing the edges of the walls to the corner extrusions. A cover hinged to the effluent holding tank is provided with an integral toilet seat. Preferably, the walls are co-extruded polyethylene plastic sheets with a double useable face, the inner faces of which have the same matching color to provide the interior of the cabana with a uniform aesthetically pleasing appearance while allowing the exterior of the cabana to be multicolored if desired.
