Each Maanta sail is equipped with eyelets at each corner to be able to optimally attach it to the anchoring system. To take advantage of the "X-tension" technology we do not add eyelets along the perimeter . Thanks to this technology, it is possible to minimize the creation of annoying water pockets in the center of the sail.
The sail must be installed with the seams facing upwards, therefore the Maanta lettering on the corner plates must be legible from under the sail. The choice to direct the seams upwards is not only aesthetic: the thread we use, widely used in the nautical world, can be safely exposed to atmospheric phenomena.
The runoff point is the angle to choose in any tailor-made sail to allow perfect drainage of rainwater, as well as in the event of condensation that can form on the underside during periods of high humidity. In this way the flow of water towards a certain corner of the sail is always respected, thanks to the "tile principle" and liquids will always be able to slip away.
If you see a water pocket, or "belly", form, the sail may not be installed correctly. Our sails are equipped with adjustable perimeter straps, similar to those of a common backpack, sometimes too tight . Here the diagonals inside the sail are not receiving enough tension.
To correct this error, just follow these simple steps:
- In each corner, loosen the two perimeter straps which are adjustable on the sides
- Stretch the sail as much as possible towards each corner so that the diagonals are well pulled.
This should produce more tension in the sail center, thus eliminating the vacuum that was created.
Yes. Snow, due to its weight, can cause tears or breaks in the fabric. Another risk is the formation of ice in the knit of the fabric, which would make it extremely fragile.
Therefore, in case of snow we do not recommend keeping the glider installed. Instead, we suggest removing the glider, first loosening the anchor, releasing the corresponding carabiner and then removing all the other carabiners. The removed sail must then be dried, folded and placed in a dry place.
The shading sails can be cleaned with neutral detergents , left to act for a few minutes, and thoroughly rinsed.
To remove stains or halos we recommend first of all to remove it, first loosening the anchor , releasing the corresponding carabiner and subsequently removing all the other carabiners.
With the sail removed, you can proceed with soft brushes to remove the most persistent stains with the help of water and possibly neutral detergents.
