Ok so who can translate this for me as the on line translating service has offered various suggestions from Clothes Shed to Booby Hatch !! what ever that is ??

I am sure that the true Cabanon fans will be able to tell me what " Les toiles Cabanon" actually means

Can tell I didnt pay any attention at school  in French classes.

Le toile is fabric/material isn't it?
So fabrics
Cabanon means cottage.

So it's a fabric cottage

Thanks that makes more sense

Just a bit confused with some of the translations, Google translate offers 4 options for Cabanon:

1. Shed

2. Cottage

3. Hut

And this one I would love to know what this is ??

4. A Booby Hatch

Is there a panel somewhere that I dont know about that offers such pleasures on a rainy day ?  

So "The Canvas Cottage" it is then, thanks, oh and if anyone knows what a Booby Hatch is I would love to know.

Well its nothing exciting having just googled it, it turns out that a Booby Hatch is a canvas covered loading hatch on the deck of a ship  ... oh well at least I can stop looking now.

I like your ideas Anniemacxx just not so sure about it being made out of canvas ... would it still have the desired effect, or be very comfy come to that  Saying that if it had the smell of a tent it may well be double excitement for some of us

Oh I think I may just have just dug myself a large hole here

a canvas tent is tente de toile so the toile is canvas or fabric but when it is used in the cabanon name i would go for canvas

cabanon could be a small cottage a hut or a shelter 

my guess would be canvas cottage or canvas shelter

Just found another explanation of a Booby Hatch, it can also mean an asylum for the insane which may suit me better  A canvas asylum for the insane !! not sure Cabanon would be too happy with this translation from Google ?
