Retractable sun sail Retractable sun sail with manual or electric operation
A retractable sun sail is a sun sail whose fabric can be extended and retracted as required. Unlike a fixed, tensioned sun sail, it does not remain permanently under tension. Instead, it is rolled up using a shaft or winding mechanism.
Roll-up sun sails
Roll-up sun sails provide flexible sun shading for patios and gardens. They can be adjusted depending on the position of the sun or the weather, creating a protected outdoor area with a clear, lightweight look.
Carefully selected materials contribute to a long service life. Roll-up sun sails from WAREMA feature durable fabrics and long-lasting colour brilliance.

Benefits of a retractable sun sail
A retractable sun sail offers flexibility above all.
It provides shade when needed and can be retracted when the weather changes or when there is less sunlight. This helps protect the fabric and keeps the patio looking tidy.
A retractable sun sail works in a similar way to an awning:
- extend it when shade is required
- retract it when the sun sail is not needed
- protect it when wind, rain or longer periods of absence are expected
Depending on the version, operation is either manual or motorised.
Operation of retractable sun sails
Retractable sun sails from WAREMA can be operated manually or motorised, depending on the model.
With manual versions, the sun sail is rolled up using a smooth-action crank.
Electrically retractable sun sails can be extended and retracted at the touch of a button. Depending on the equipment, operation via hand-held transmitter, app or automatic function is also possible.
An electrically retractable sun sail offers greater operating comfort above all. The fabric is rolled up on one or both sides by motor and can be retracted quickly when required. This is particularly practical when the weather changes, in strong wind or during longer periods of absence.
- comfortable operation without physical effort
- quick extension and retraction at the touch of a button
- better protection for the fabric when the sun sail is not in use
- greater safety when the weather changes, especially in combination with sensors or automatic functions
- tidy appearance, as no permanently tensioned fabric remains visible
Frequently asked questions about rollable sun sails
Here we've collected – and answered – a number of common questions about rollable sun sails.
The price of a rollable sun sail varies depending on the size, material and optional extras selected. When getting quotations, it an often be worth comparing the costs for a rollable sun sail in terms of quality and durability. You can purchase WAREMA rollable sun sails from your local specialised retailer , who will also safely install your new rollable sun sail.
The quality of your sun sail, the suitability of the fixing you have selected and the installation quality determine how resilient your sun sail will be to wind and weather. Better quality translates to better resilience. The sun sail should be rolled up in strong winds to avoid subjecting the fabric to high forces. When exactly is the wind force too strong? What needs to be kept in mind when planning in particularly stormy regions? A specialised retailer near you can help answer both of these questions. If you want to play it safe, we recommend installing a wind sensor. The WMS Weather station causes the sun sail to retract automatically if the wind picks up or bad weather sets in – this means the fabric of your rollable sun sail is always safely protected.
