Zefira
The Motorized Retractable Shade Sail

No more parasols flying away!

Whether you have a terrace in the city, a private garden or a seaside accommodation, Zefira takes care of your outdoor space: it rolls up automatically in strong wind to give you peace of mind and reliable protection.

Forget about parasols flying away: Zefira offers you safe shade and automatic protection.

The patented system that gives you complete peace of mind

Safety first

The patented CTR technology keeps the fabric constantly under tension, even during rolling – the most critical moment for a shade sail.

Thanks to the integrated anemometer, Zefira automatically detects strong winds and rolls up safely.
Tested for over 15,000 opening and closing cycles, Zefira is the result of 20 years of Maanta expertise. Reliable, safe, and autonomous!

Open and close it every day, 3 times a day, for over 6 years
Zefira has been tested to do just that!

FAQ

How can I order Zefira?

Thanks to our handy online configurator, you can create and order your custom sail in just a few simple steps. All you need to do is measure the area you want to cover, enter the dimensions into the configurator, and choose your fabric and stitching style. In seconds, the system provides you with an accurate quote. Go to configurator

Why is the purchase process divided into two phases?

To guarantee a flawless result, we’ve simplified configuration and installation by dividing them into two clear phases. Each phase will correspond to a separate order, and materials will be delivered in two shipments:

PHASE 1: You’ll configure your sail and receive the anchors and fastening materials.

PHASE 2: You’ll confirm the anchor measurements, and receive your custom sail and motorised system.

This approach allows you to install the anchors before finalising the exact sail dimensions, ensuring precise installation with zero margin for error.

Can I receive fabric samples?

Yes, fabric samples will be sent to you with your PHASE 1 order, allowing you to assess the quality and colour in person. After installing the anchors and taking the final measurements, you’ll be able to confirm your choice of fabric and colour directly in your user dashboard, at no extra cost.

How long does it take to receive and install the Zefira sail?

Your Zefira roll-up sail will be delivered and installed in around 15 days, including both phases of the process.

What’s the best time to order a custom sail?

Producing a custom-made sail involves several steps. To avoid longer-than-expected lead times, we recommend designing and ordering your sail during the low season (from September to March), if possible. Off-season prices are often more favourable, and you may also benefit from special discounts and offers.

How do I take the correct measurements for Zefira?

We recommend starting by planning your anchoring system. Design the position of the wall plates or support poles. This makes it easy to take accurate measurements between each anchoring point. The system will then automatically calculate the correct size for your sail.

Check out our measurement guide

Can I install multiple sails using the same anchoring system?

In some cases, it’s possible. We recommend contacting us to check the technical feasibility based on your space.

What if I don’t have power sockets near the installation area?

No problem! Zefira is completely self-powered thanks to its integrated solar panel with battery, which powers the motor without the need for electrical connections. This means you can install it anywhere, even in areas far from power sockets, while still ensuring reliable and sustainable operation.

How can I control the opening and closing of the sail?

You can control the sail using the included remote, through the integrated anemometer for automatic operation, or from your smartphone.

Do I need to take down the sails in winter?

No, it’s not necessary to take down the sails. However, in case of snow or very low temperatures, we recommend keeping the sail closed and protecting it with the custom-made case. This helps safeguard it from the elements and ensures greater durability over time.

Can I return a custom-made sail?

According to Article 49, letter m of the Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal does not apply to customised products. Custom-made sails are created specifically for each customer based on precise dimensions tailored to individual needs. We strongly recommend double-checking your measurements before and during the ordering process. Don’t worry! If you’re unsure, our team is always here to provide you with all the guidance and information you need.
