Choice International Shade (CI Shade) - the Gulf Region's leading experts in high-quality tensile and structural shading solutions. Based in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
Awning installation Al Khobar covers the full delivery chain: site survey, structural design, fabric patterning and on-site installation for sun and rain protection. Architects, contractors and facilities teams commission awnings to reduce solar heat gain, protect façades and create shaded circulation routes. In Al Khobar's intense UV and salt-air environment the right fabric and correctly engineered fixing points make the difference between a short-lived canopy and a durable asset.
CI Shade brings 23+ years of regional experience to every project across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. We design with CAD and SolidWorks, produce GCC-stamped calculations for wind loads between 120–175 kph, and manufacture at our 8,000 m² facility to ensure consistent quality.
Because local conditions demand local know-how. CI Shade engineers awnings for high UV exposure, abrasive sand and episodic high winds common to the Gulf. We select PVDF-coated membranes and structural steel grades that resist corrosion, and we validate designs with stamped calculations — no guesswork.
Designing for Al Khobar means accepting extremes. We size anchor plates, gussets and compression rings to withstand 120–175 kph wind load cases, and specify PVDF membrane finishes that provide a 15–20 year service life under Gulf sunlight. The result is a shade that reduces ambient temperatures beneath it by up to several degrees while shedding flash storms and standing up to sand abrasion.
CI Shade runs every project through CAD and SolidWorks. We deliver shop drawings, CNC-ready fabric patterns and GCC-stamped structural calculations. That workflow lets architects keep design intent while our engineers optimise steel sections, cable tensions and connection details to save material without sacrificing safety.
Awning installation Al Khobar is used across sectors where shade and weather protection are required. We work with developers, municipalities and facility managers to integrate canopies into finished buildings and open spaces.
We provide GCC-stamped calculations and detailed connection drawings for municipal approvals. That paperwork includes wind, snow (where applicable) and anchor design so installations pass local inspections without delay.
Production happens in our 8,000 m² facility using CNC patterning and controlled-weld steel frames. CI Shade is ISO certified and Aramco approved — a practical assurance on public and private projects alike.
Typical awnings use PVDF-coated PVC or PVDF membranes, HDPE shade cloth for lightweight covers, or acrylic for coloured canopies. Steelwork is specified in S275/S355 equivalents with hot-dip galvanizing and optional polyester powder coat for coastal sites. Our process starts with a site survey and trial anchor checks, advances to detailed shop drawings and pre-fabrication, then finishes with certified on-site installation and a post-fit inspection.
Most PVDF membranes carry a practical 15–20 year lifecycle when correctly installed and cleaned periodically. Routine maintenance is simple: wash with mild detergent, inspect tensioning points, and check anchor bolts annually. CI Shade offers tailored maintenance programs and warranty support for peace of mind.
