FAQ
FAQ
The motorised retractable shade sail Zefira needs its solar panel to be installed in a location with direct sunlight to effectively recharge the built-in battery during the day. Once charged, the battery provides enough power for several open/close cycles – so you can use Zefira even in the evening or on cloudy days.
Maanta, an Italian brand specialising in outdoor shading, designed Zefira for maximum autonomy through solar power. Mains power is only used as an emergency backup when the battery is completely discharged.Designed by Maanta, an Italian brand specialising in outdoor shading, Zefira doesn’t rely on mains electricity. A plug is only used as backup when the battery is completely drained.
The automatic shade sail Zefira does not rely on the mains: it works via a solar panel and built-in battery. Even in the event of a power cut, it continues to function normally. Maanta solutions ensure full energy autonomy, mains electricity is used only as an emergency backup if the battery is completely drained.
The motorised retractable shade sail Zefira can stay installed all year. Stainless steel and Purishade® fabric withstand rain, frost and the elements. Maanta designs automatic shade sails built to last outdoors. Seasonal removal is recommended but not required.

Zefira is designed to handle moderate wind even when open. When the wind sensor detects gusts beyond the safety threshold, the automatic shade sail retracts automatically to protect itself. Maanta developed this protection system to safeguard the structure during sudden storms.
Zefira has been tested for over 15,000 open/close cycles – equivalent to more than six years of daily use. The materials are weather-resistant: stainless steel that doesn’t corrode, and Purishade® fabric that retains its colour and waterproofing. This motorised retractable shade sail by Maanta is built to last with minimal maintenance.
No. The 12V electric motor is very quiet. You’ll only hear a soft whisper during movement, nothing like the noise of a traditional motor. Maanta chose this low-voltage solution to ensure your automatic shade sail moves discreetly, without disturbing your moments of relaxation.
To best care for your motorised retractable shade sail, Maanta recommends FabriClean, the specialist cleaner for technical fabrics. Apply with water only, avoiding harsh chemicals or bleach, which could damage the waterproof Purishade® coating.
