Easily install your shade sail, saving time and avoiding complex work

Strong and secure anchoring without building footings

With the Easy Ballast weight-based base, there is no longer any need to build concrete footings to secure your poles. This practical and quick solution allows you to easily install Maanta shade sails without complex work, even in situations where it's not possible to fix the poles to the surface. You can anchor them securely and stably, without the need for permanent ground interventions. Additionally, the ease of assembly and disassembly makes Easy Ballast ideal for those looking for a flexible and temporary solution, which can be moved and adapted according to your needs.

Flexibility, safety, and practicality in one solution

Turn Easy Ballast into a comfortable seat

The Easy Ballast weight-based base is not only functional, but also highly versatile. By completing the installation with the breathable and anti-mold Softsilkk® cover and the padded cushion, the base becomes a comfortable seat, perfect for gardens, terraces, or outdoor spaces. Not only does it securely fix the pole, but it also provides a place to sit and relax, transforming a simple technical element into a practical piece of furniture. For an added touch of elegance, you can complete the pole with the Alu Simple Lid (compatible only with Alu Simple), the stainless steel cover that hides the base and completes the installation. Perfect for bars and restaurants, you can easily add extra seating thanks to the comfortable cushion, offering your guests an additional area of comfort.

WHY CHOOSE EASY BALLAST

Versatile installation

Secure the poles easily without the need for concrete footings or digging. Ideal for temporary or adjustable installations, it is a versatile solution that can also be used in situations where it is not possible to secure the poles on concrete surfaces.

Better aesthetics and clean design

The Softsilkk® cover enhances the appearance of the base by hiding the structural part and creating a more organized and harmonious environment, while the Alu Simple Lid elegantly covers the attachment of your Alu Simple pole.

Enhanced safety

By completing the installation with the fabric cover, you reduce the risk of damaging the slabs and make the base safer, especially in areas frequented by children or pets.

Sustainable Softsilkk® fabric

The Softsilkk® fabric cover is durable, easy to maintain, and sustainable, with a reduced environmental impact. Made from PP, it is water-repellent, resistant to UV rays, tears, and immune to mold and bacteria. It is also bleachable and washable.

Color range

The Easy Ballast cover is available in 7 colors, ideal for matching any style and environment, coordinating with the fabric of your shade sail.

Stability for Maanta shade sail poles

The ultimate solution for secure anchoring without digging or construction work

The Easy Ballast weight-based base is designed to offer a secure and stable solution for securing Maanta shade sail poles (Alu Simple and Ulisse), even in the angled version. The pole is secured directly at the center of the weight-based base, without the need for invasive ground work or the construction of concrete footings.

You can also cover the attachment of your Alu Simple pole by purchasing separately the Alu Simple Lid, the cover that elegantly hides the base of the pole.

The Easy Ballast base must be filled with 26 gravel slabs, each measuring 1′ 7 5/8" x 1′ 7 5/8" x 1 5/8″ in (NOT included, but easily available on the market). This filling ensures the necessary stability to securely support the poles, even in windy or adverse weather conditions.

The option to complete the installation with the cover featuring a cushion is designed to function optimally when the base is fully filled with the gravel slabs, offering not only technical functionality but also the ability to transform the weight-based base into a comfortable seat.
