Maanta waterproof
outdoor shade sails

We’ve designed our heavy duty waterproof shade sails for anyone looking for reliable protection from rain, wind, and sun.

We use premium waterproof shade cloth and sealed seams that block any water infiltration, and we offer custom-engineered technical solutions. Unlike breathable models, these keep your space dry, livable, and attractive all year round.

The art of true waterproofing

Waterproof outdoor shade sails: key features

Designing waterproof shade sails is an art that demands expertise, research and precision. A tough fabric alone isn’t enough — you need the right balance of tension, stitching and materials. After years of development and testing, Maanta has created solutions that combine technical performance with minimalist beauty. The result? Durable, stable covers that offer real protection, even in heavy rain.

Key features:

  • No greenhouse effect: waterproof and breathable in a single fabric
  • Drip-proof sealed seams for full water resistance
  • Technical fabrics developed and engineered by Maanta
  • Stable, tensioned structure thanks to radial cut or diagonal tensioning
  • Resistant to rain, sun and humidity — designed for year-round use

Live outdoors, always: our solutions

We design professional shade sails in multiple configurations, including custom-made solutions to suit every space.

Our vision of a waterproof shade sail

Where to install them?

To us, a waterproof outdoor sail is more than just a cover — it’s a conscious choice. We use carefully selected technical materials and refine every detail to deliver genuine, functional and stylish protection. All with one clear purpose: to improve people’s lives by enhancing the spaces they live in.

Maanta’s waterproof shade sails are designed to fit perfectly into a wide range of settings, both residential and commercial.

For your home

Forget rushing indoors at the first sound of thunder. Maanta’s waterproof shade sails turn terraces, pergolas and gardens into truly liveable spaces. Finally, you can enjoy an outdoor meal without worrying about the weather.

For your venue

Outstanding service doesn’t stop for the rain. Maanta’s waterproof shade sails protect your outdoor areas without compromise: comfortable, welcoming spaces, always ready to host — whatever the weather.

For your car

Protect your car, motorbike or campervan with a free-standing solution that’s easy to install and doesn’t require planning permission. Rain and sun will no longer be an issue.

FAQ

Why choose a waterproof outdoor shade sail?

Because it lets you make the most of your outdoor space every day, without checking the forecast. It blocks UV rays in summer, protects from rain and moisture in winter, and prevents damage to furniture or flooring. A functional, stylish and long-lasting solution for gardens, terraces and patios.

Is a waterproof or breathable shade sail better?

It depends on your priorities. Breathable sails are ideal for summer: they let air circulate, creating a cooler and more ventilated space, but they don’t protect against rain. Waterproof sails, on the other hand — like Solaria and Solaria +Plus in Purishade® — provide both sun protection and water repellency, making your space usable even in bad weather.

How do you select the angle for water runoff?

A proper installation is essential. We recommend tilting at least one side of the sail by 25% of the longest side to allow water to run off. For example, on a 4x4 m square sail, one corner should be at least 1 metre lower than the others. This prevents water pooling and extends the life of the fabric.

Do Maanta shade sails promote air circulation?

Yes, Maanta shade sails are designed to offer comfort and ventilation even on the hottest days. We use Purishade® — a technical fabric developed in our own labs — that combines full waterproofing with excellent breathability. This allows air to flow freely under the sail, preventing that stuffy greenhouse effect and keeping the space cool and breezy.

Do waterproof shade sails require much maintenance?

No. The materials we’ve chosen — like Purishade® — are built to last: they resist mould, bacteria and UV rays. Regular cleaning with our FabriClean cleaner and a rinse with clean water is all you need. Plus, our sail structures are designed to maintain optimal tension over time, reducing wear and tear.

Can I install the waterproof shade sail myself, or do I need a technician?

Most of our customers install their sails on their own, using our detailed guides and video tutorials. Every kit is complete and designed for DIY installation. If you’d rather get help from a professional or have specific requirements, feel free to contact us — we’ll connect you with a trusted installer from our network.

Explore our installation guides

Are waterproof shade sails wind-resistant too?

Yes, but it depends on the model and installation. Solaria and Solaria +Plus, with their radial cut and even tension, perform very well even in moderate wind. The key is to install the sail correctly, use certified accessories, and always keep it properly tensioned.

Durability, resistance and long-term performance

Purishade® or polyester: which fabric should you choose?

Our waterproof outdoor sails stand out for their quality that starts with the materials. Each fabric is designed for a specific use, with lab-tested features and real-world performance that makes the difference.

Purishade® 270 gsm

An exclusive Maanta fabric used in our Solaria and Solaria +Plus models. This technical material was developed in our own labs and is the first to combine complete waterproofing with high breathability. It’s water-repellent, mould-resistant, non-absorbent and quick-drying. Perfect for permanent installations, even in areas exposed to rain and wind.

Coated polyester 220 gsm

Used for EZ Breez, it’s the ideal choice for seasonal covers. Lightweight, easy to handle and simple to install, it offers excellent rain protection and works well in more sheltered settings. The right solution for those seeking practicality, ease and reliable performance.

Unlike many standard online sails made with 160–180 gsm fabrics and unsealed seams, our waterproof shade sheets start at 220 gsm and go up to 270 gsm with Purishade®. Up to 70% thicker and finished with technical details. That’s the difference between a temporary cover and a protection you can rely on.
