Waterproof Shade Sails

Because it lets you enjoy your outdoor space every day—no need to check the forecast. It blocks UV rays in summer, shields against rain and moisture in winter, and helps protect your furniture and flooring from damage. A functional, stylish, and long-lasting solution for gardens, patios, and outdoor seating areas.

It depends on what matters most to you. Breathable shades are perfect for summer—they let air flow through, creating a cooler and more ventilated space, but they don’t offer rain protection. Waterproof shades, on the other hand, like Solaria and Solaria +Plus in Purishade®, provide both sun protection and water repellency, so you can enjoy your space even when the weather turns bad.

Proper installation is key. We recommend tilting at least one side of the shade sail by 25% of the longest edge to allow for water runoff. For example, on a 13' x 13' square sail, one corner should be at least 3' lower than the others. This prevents water pooling and extends the fabric’s lifespan.

Yes, Maanta shade sails are designed to provide airflow and comfort even on the hottest days. We use Purishade®, a technical fabric developed in our labs that combines full waterproofing with high breathability. This allows air to circulate freely beneath the sail, preventing that stuffy greenhouse effect and keeping the area cool and breezy.

No. Materials like Purishade® are made to last—they’re resistant to mold, bacteria, and UV rays. Regular cleaning with our FabriClean cleaner and a rinse with clean water is all it takes. Plus, the structure of our sails is engineered to maintain tension over time, reducing wear and tear.

Most of our customers install their shade sails on their own, using our detailed guides and video tutorials. Every kit is complete and designed for easy DIY setup.

Yes, but it depends on the model and how it’s installed. Solaria and Solaria +Plus, thanks to their radial cut and even tension, perform very well even in moderate wind. The key is to install the sail properly, use certified hardware, and always keep it well-tensioned.
