Zefira is engineered to withstand moderate winds while open. When the wind sensor detects gusts above the safety limit, the electric sun shade for patio automatically retracts. Maanta created this smart protection system to keep the structure safe during sudden storms.
Zefira is tested for over 15,000 opening and closing cycles – that’s more than six years of daily use. The materials are designed to withstand the elements: corrosion-resistant stainless steel and Purishade® fabric that maintains its color and waterproof properties. This motorized retractable shade sail from Maanta is built to last with very little maintenance.
No. The 12V electric motor is extremely quiet. You’ll only hear a light whooshing sound during operation, nothing like a typical motor. Maanta specifically chose this low-voltage solution so your electric sun shade for patio operates discreetly, without interrupting your relaxation.
To maintain your electric sun shade for patio in top shape, Maanta recommends using FabriClean – a cleaner made specifically for technical fabrics. Apply with water only, never use harsh products or bleach, as they may damage the waterproof Purishade® coating.
