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

Strong and secure anchoring without building foundations

With the Easy Ballast weightable base, there is no longer any need to build concrete plinths 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 secure the poles to the surface. You can therefore anchor them securely and stably, without the need for permanent interventions on the ground. Moreover, the ease of assembly and disassembly makes Easy Ballast ideal for those looking for a flexible and temporary solution that can be moved and adapted to your needs.

Flexibility, safety, and practicality in one solution

Turn Easy Ballast into a comfortable seat

The Easy Ballast weightable base is not only functional, but also highly versatile. By completing the installation with the breathable and anti-mould 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 offers 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 finish the pole with the Alu Simple Lid (compatible only with Alu Simple), the stainless steel cover that conceals the base and completes the installation. Perfect also 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

Easily secure the poles without the need for concrete plinths or excavations. 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 to concrete surfaces.

Better aesthetics and clean design

The Softsilkk® cover enhances the appearance of the base, concealing the structural part and creating a neater and more harmonious environment, while the Alu Simple Lid elegantly covers the fastening 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 animals.

Sustainable Softsilkk® fabric

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

Colour range

The cover for Easy Ballast is available in 7 colours, 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 groundworks

The Easy Ballast weightable base is designed to offer a secure and stable solution for securing the poles of Maanta shade sails (Alu Simple and Ulisse), even in the tilted version. The pole attaches directly to the centre of the weightable base, without the need for invasive ground work or the creation of concrete plinths.

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

The Easy Ballast base must be filled with 26 gravel slabs, each measuring 50 x 50 x 4 cm (NOT included, but easily available in the market). This filling ensures the stability required 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 work optimally when the base is fully filled with gravel slabs, offering not only technical functionality but also the possibility to transform the weightable base into a comfortable seat.
