FAQ

FAQ

Lybra is Maanta's octagonal centre-pole parasol featuring EquiTilt® technology: open the canopy with the traditional crank, then rotate the toothed handle above it and the canopy tilts in any direction you choose, gradually and with infinite intermediate positions.

Designed for those who love spending time outdoors at home: residential gardens, spacious terraces, family poolsides, villa patios, and inner courtyards with a dining table or lounge area. Whether you have a classic British garden or a stylish outdoor living space, this is the perfect solution for making the most of every moment outside.

Available in three octagonal sizes: 2.7 m, 3.0 m and 3.3 m in diameter.

Yes. Our customer service team speaks five languages and can recommend the most suitable size, colour and base for your space and lifestyle.

The Ø 2.7 m covers a table for 4–6 people, the Ø 3.0 m a table for 6–8, and the Ø 3.3 m a table for 8 or a small lounge area.

Yes. Lybra arrives pre-assembled and weighs a maximum of 8.7 kg net. A single person is all you need to position it on your chosen base.

Measure the diameter of the area you want to cover and add 30–40 cm on each side. If you're unsure, get in touch with us: our customer service team is here to help you choose the right option.

It is the integrated tilting system built into the toothed handle positioned above the crank socket. Open the canopy using the traditional crank, then unlock the tilt by rotating the toothed handle above it: the more you rotate, the more the canopy gradually tilts to one side, with infinite positions available. Two distinct actions, two separate mechanisms, each precise in its own function.

Yes. EquiTilt® technology tilts the shade sail sideways relative to the pole. To choose which direction to cast the shade, simply rotate the pole manually within the base: free 360° rotation.

Acrishade, a 260 gsm solution-dyed acrylic developed for Maanta. UPF 50+, water-repellent, and UV-resistant for 1,500 hours at grade 4.

Yes, you can choose whichever combinations you like. Our design team recommends:

  • Anthracite frame: Graphite fabric
  • Anthracite frame: Vellum fabric
  • Matt Anodizing frame: White fabric
  • Matt Anodizing frame: Glacier fabric
  • Matt White frame: Terracotta fabric
  • Matt White frame: Wheat fabric

Yes, up to 30 km/h, equivalent to Beaufort scale 5. We recommend closing the parasol if strong winds or storms are forecast.

It is an aerodynamic opening at the centre of the canopy, without an external flap. It allows gusts to escape, reduces pressure on the fabric and stabilises the parasol on windy days.

Yes. Lybra is compatible with two lamps sold separately: the Magnetic 2-in-1 Light (Ø 278 mm, 2,500 mAh, dimmer) and the LED Clip Lamp (Ø 200 mm, 1,600 mAh, 3 modes, warm light).

Insert the pole into your chosen base, release the perimeter velcro strap, then turn the handle clockwise until it reaches the end stop: the fabric opens and stretches taut.

With the shade sail open, rotate the toothed handle positioned above the crank socket: the more you turn it, the more the sail tilts to the side gradually, up to the angle you prefer. No buttons, no end stops: the tilt stops wherever you stop rotating. To change the direction of the shade, rotate the pole in the base.

Bring the handle back to the vertical position by rotating it backwards, turn the crank in the opposite direction until fully closed, then secure the perimeter Velcro strap to keep the fabric neatly folded against the pole.

No, the base is not included. Lybra comes with the parasol only (frame + canopy + crank handle + velcro strap). The anchoring base is a separate accessory that must be chosen and purchased separately — the product cannot stand without a base.

Lybra requires a base, not included, to be purchased separately. The compatible models are:

  • Round resin fillable base: lightweight and easy to transport, weight is added on-site using water or sand.
  • Square concrete base 20 kg: we recommend pairing it with the additional 9 kg weight.
  • Square steel base 25 kg: we recommend the square additional steel weight of 14 kg.
  • Round steel base 25 kg: the round additional steel weight of 14 kg is mandatory.

Use a soft brush and lukewarm water with mild soap. Avoid hard brushes and harsh detergents. Rinse thoroughly and leave to air dry — never put it in the tumble dryer.

Close the canopy, fasten the velcro strap, cover it with the optional protective cover and, if possible, move the parasol to a dry and well-ventilated space.

For brief, light showers, yes – the fabric is water-repellent. For heavy rain, strong winds, or prolonged rainfall, we recommend closing it to protect the product.

Yes. Contact our customer service team to order a replacement fabric in your preferred size and colour.

Two years on the aluminium frame and two years on the Acrishade fabric, from the date of delivery.
