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.
Custom shade structures Makkah are engineered fabric canopies and framed shelters tailored to specific site constraints, shading requirements and local codes. Architects, contractors and facility managers specify them for carparks, walkways, courtyards and amenity areas where solar load, dust and wind are a daily concern. CI Shade engineers these structures to suit the city’s intense UV, high daytime temperatures and occasional high winds.
CI Shade covers design, manufacturing and installation across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, backed by 23+ years of experience, ISO certification and Aramco approval. We prepare Gulf-stamped calculations (120–175 kph wind loads), shop drawings and fabric patterning so your team gets a buildable package, not vague sketches.
Choice International Shade designs solutions that last in the Gulf climate. We pair membrane selection with structural steel that resists corrosion, specify coatings for coastal exposure and verify the build against stamped engineering. The result is a custom shade structure that reduces heat gain, protects finishes and eases long-term maintenance—without surprising the client at tender or handover.
We design for real conditions: high UV, sand abrasion and wind gusts. Membrane options include PVDF-coated PVC and high-density HDPE; PVDF membranes in our projects commonly provide a 15–20 year service life under Gulf sun when installed and maintained correctly. All frames use specified structural grades with hot-dip galvanising or powder-coat systems suited to Makkah’s environment. Wind loads are detailed in Gulf-stamped calculations (120–175 kph where required).
CI Shade handles CAD modelling, SolidWorks patterning and full shop drawings in-house. That matters because fabric geometry is unforgiving: a millimetre in patterning can change the stress distribution. We deliver stamped structural calculations, connection details and on-site erection plans so contractors can bid confidently. If clients need value engineering, we propose alternates that lower cost without cutting life expectancy.
Custom shade structures Makkah are used across public and private projects where shade performance and longevity matter. Typical deployments include:
We produce accurate CAD and SolidWorks files, control patterning and cut fabric in our 8,000 m² facility. That reduces site errors and keeps lead times predictable—especially important on tight Makkah programmes during peak construction seasons.
CI Shade is ISO certified and Aramco approved. We issue Gulf-stamped calculations and follow regional standards for corrosion protection, welding and structural steel—so approvals and owner handovers go smoother.
We specify from a shortlist of proven materials: PVDF-coated PVC and PVDF laminates for long-term UV resistance; HDPE knitted fabrics for economical privacy and light filtration; ETFE and PTFE where transparency or specialist performance is needed. Structural steel conforms to regional grades; connections are detailed for galvanising or quality powder-coat finishes. Our standard process: site survey, concept, detailed engineering, off-site fabrication, and certified installation with post-install inspection.
Expect planned maintenance rather than reactive repairs. Membranes require periodic cleaning and tension checks; steel connections need inspection after the first year and then at regular intervals. CI Shade offers maintenance contracts and warranty support so facility teams in Makkah and across the Gulf know when to schedule upkeep. It costs more upfront to specify higher-grade membranes and coatings — but the service-life and lower repair cycles pay back over a decade.
