The first patents for Maanta retractable shade sails

Retractable shade sails made their debut in the early 2000s, revolutionizing the solar covering industry. The original idea came from Austrian innovator Gerald Wurz, who patented the first industrial model in the late 1990s.

In 2006, Marco Bettega, founder of Maanta, along with his brother Andrea, developed and patented their first version of a motorized retractable shade sail, contributing to the evolution of this technology.

Over the years, the product has evolved based on experience and innovation.
In 2017 and 2018, two groundbreaking models were introduced: CoR 2.0 and OmbrelA.
In 2022 and 2023, Solaria Furl and Solaria +Plus Furl were launched, featuring technological advancements that enhanced durability and ease of use.

Now, in 2025, Maanta proudly presents Zefira, the latest innovation in motorized retractable shade sails, designed to deliver superior performance in automation and unique design.

Why choose a Maanta retractable shade sail?

Maanta continuously invests in research and development, with a dedicated team focused on designing and manufacturing retractable shade sails that combine innovation, craftsmanship, and advanced technology.

Each sail is meticulously crafted using high-quality materials, drawing inspiration from the nautical industry with its radial cut, which enhances durability, longevity, and aesthetics.
Compared to fixed coverings, Maanta retractable shade sails offer significant advantages in flexibility, protection, and modern design.

Weather protection: In case of extreme weather conditions such as strong winds, hail, or heavy rain, the retractable rainproof sail can be quickly rolled up, safeguarding both the fabric and the structure.
Increased flexibility: You can adjust the shade in seconds by opening or closing the sail as needed.
Suitable for all seasons: Thanks to its easy retractability and protective cover, there is no need to dismantle the sail during periods of non-use or winter months.
Extended durability: By protecting the material from continuous exposure to the elements, retractable sails maintain their quality for longer, ensuring resistance and longevity over time.

Manual or Motorized? Which one is right for you?

When choosing between a manual retractable shade sail and a motorized one, it’s essential to consider your needs in terms of convenience and usage.

The manual retractable shade sail, Solaria and Solaria +Plus Furl, is the ideal choice for those looking for a more affordable solution, free from electronic components and completely independent of motorized systems.
Perfect for residential spaces or areas with occasional use, it features a loop rope winding system, designed to ensure smooth operation.

The motorized retractable shade sail Zefira is a practical solution.
Thanks to its 12-volt motor, it eliminates the need for an electrical power supply. The remote control allows instant operation, while the included wind sensor automatically retracts the sail in strong winds, protecting both the structure and the fabric.
Ideal for those seeking comfort and automation, it’s perfect for terraces, gardens, and commercial areas, providing a safe and efficient shading system.

Hail-resistant

Made with impact-resistant materials and designed to withstand extreme weather conditions,
the Maanta hail-resistant retractable shade sails provide long-lasting protection and a practical solution for those seeking shelter without compromising on quality.

Thanks to advanced technical fabrics, manual and motorized retractable shade sails are hail-resistant and provide an innovative solution for those seeking a durable and secure covering against increasingly frequent extreme weather conditions.

Solaria, Solaria +Plus Furl, and Zefira stand out from competing products due to their exclusive features that enhance durability and longevity. Their design ensures superior tension, a key factor in dissipating impact energy and protecting the structure.
The specially developed technical fabric, the perimeter reinforcement straps, and the radial cut are unique Maanta solutions, not found in competing products, designed to evenly distribute stress on the anchors without compromising the sail.

For those seeking maximum durability, the breathable Meshnet® fabric is the best-performing choice: while allowing air circulation to prevent the greenhouse effect, it offers top-tier protection against hail.

The history of Maanta retractable shade sails

2025 - Zefira: the new generation of motorized retractable shade sails

Zefira is the latest innovation in the world of Maanta motorized retractable shade sails, designed to offer maximum convenience, durability, and style. Thanks to its integrated 12-volt motor, the sail extends and retracts effortlessly with a remote control, while the anemometer automatically detects weather conditions, retracting the sail in strong winds.

The advanced technology of Zefira ensures constant fabric tension, enhancing stability and longevity.
Its motorized winding system is incredibly fast: Zefira closes in less than a minute, providing immediate protection for the sail and its anchors.

One of its key strengths is sustainability: the entire system is wireless and powered by a solar panel, eliminating the need for an electrician or electrical connections.

Ideal for:

Those looking for a fully automated retractable sail
Wind-exposed areas, thanks to its automatic closing feature in adverse weather conditions
Installations without the need for electrical connections
Custom configurations with various anchoring options, shapes, and fabrics

2022/2023 - Solaria Furl and Solaria +Plus Furl: The radial shade sail that rolls onto itself

Solaria Furl and Solaria +Plus Furl represent the evolution of retractable shade sails, designed to offer maximum durability, convenience, and style. Their furler system, made from 316 stainless steel with high-performance bearings and anodized aluminum, ensures smooth operation and exceptional durability even under high wind loads.

The winding system is inspired by the aesthetics of gennaker furlers used on sailing boats, with an enhanced structure to manage the torsion of horizontally positioned shade sails. After years of research, the Maanta team developed an innovative design featuring the WIDE SPOOL, a larger-diameter reel that reduces effort when opening and closing the sail. The S-GRIPP technology prevents the rope from slipping inside the groove, ensuring constant tension.

Compared to a fixed sail, Solaria Furl and its enhanced version, Solaria +Plus Furl, can be fully retracted in under three minutes, eliminating wind lift and protecting both the anchors and the fabric. The +Plus version retains the same advanced features but incorporates double the fabric panels, providing even better tension distribution and superior aesthetics.

Ideal for those who:

Own a business and want to secure their sails during closing hours
Have a second home and prefer peace of mind in case of storms
Need flexible shade that can be adjusted in seconds
Want to maximize sail durability during the winter months

Both models are available in standard sizes or custom-made (go to the configurator), providing high-performance and tailored coverage for any need.

2018 - OmbrelA: The retractable umbrella

Among the retractable shade sails, we also include OmbrelA. This garden umbrella is fully motorized.

Its uniqueness lies in its design, which resembles a classic desk lamp, and in the innovative solutions it integrates. The support pole is adjustable, and the furling boom is tiltable. The combination of these elements allows the shade cone to be adjusted, providing effective protection against sun and wind in any condition.

In case of excessive wind, OmbrelA will automatically close thanks to its anemometer detection system and an automatic impulse sent to the built-in Somfy motor. Thanks to its precise engineering, these cantilevered retractable shade sails can cover up to 258 square feet, compared to a maximum of 183 square feet covered by competing retractable umbrellas.

Maanta, along with Solaria Furl, is the best choice for retractable shade sails.

2017 - CoR 2.0: The retractable shade sail with boom

CoR 2.0 stands at the top of the retractable shade sail category: its rope circuit connects to the CtR, a patented system that maintains constant and adjustable tension on the fabric.

The benefits of this invention are numerous: a tensioned fabric withstands wind gusts more effectively, drains rainwater better, and ensures greater safety.

Thanks to this technology, we can build larger retractable shade sails, up to 753 square feet (while competitors reach a maximum of 538 square feet), making them safer and more durable.

Each CoR 2.0 is a unique, custom-made piece built on demand. The advantages of CoR 2.0 do not surpass those of Solaria Furl and require a more precise installation, often requiring specialized labor. For this reason, CoR 2.0 is less frequently advertised and requested.

The range of available fabrics is extensive, from premium nautical Dacron—sourced from a world-leading manufacturer ensuring superior UV resistance—to the advanced Weathermax fabric, available in a wide range of colors and capable of reducing temperatures by up to 37% under the canopy.

Unlike Solaria Furl retractable shade sails, CoR 2.0 is powered by a Somfy motor, the global industry leader. It is also equipped with a Somfy anemometer, which automatically retracts the fabric when excessive wind is detected.
