What are the advantages of wall mounting plates?

There are many different types of shade sail mounting plates, and we at Maanta have developed a product specifically to withstand the tension generated by our garden shade sails.
Although a sun sail may not appear to be heavy, there is an enormous pressure applied to each point under the pressure of wind and bad weather. With smaller plates there is a risk of breakage: here are the advantages of our products:

• Robust plates for strong and sturdy anchoring.
  Dimensions: 10x10
  4 holes
  Thickness: 3mm
  Material: galvanised steel or stainless steel

• The holes in the fixing plates are well spaced and oversized: they can be used with strong threaded rods up to 10mm. This ensures a strong and robust anchorage.

• It is possible to adjust the distance between the sail and the anchor.
  Kit Wall Mount Muscle x3: 4 metres of nautical rope - adjustable distance up to 1.5m
  Kit Wall Mount SimplE with Stainless Steel Tensioner - adjustable distance up to 25cm
  Kit Wall Mount SimplE with 2m Nautical Rope - adjustable distance up to 0.75m

• Ensure maximum tension
  Kit Wall Mount Muscle x3: It multiplies the force - 20 kg applied becomes 60 kg of tension
  Kit Wall Mount SimplE with Tensioner - guaranteed tension thanks to the sturdy materials.
  Kit Wall Mount SimplE with 2m 900DaN Nautical Rope: the rope can be pulled to its maximum without any problems to ensure correct sail tension.

• They are universal: they can be used with any Maanta sail.

• Easy to install

• Neat and clean design

Why is it important to choose the right fixings?

Correct sail tensioning is essential to achieve an impeccable aesthetic result and optimal performance in terms of resistance to wind, rain or hail.
Correct tensioning is one of the most important factors during installation and it affects the performance of the anchors and means of tensioning used.

What are the advantages of a well-tensioned shade sail?

• better wind resistance (does not tear and does not damage the anchors)
• no water sacks (waterproof sails)
• less risk of tearing
• longer durability of the sail and fixings
• cleaner look
• the fabric doesn’t get damaged
• better drainage (even breathable shade sails drain a little water if properly tensioned)!
