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.
pvc tensile membrane structures Al Khobar are engineered fabric canopies formed from PVC-coated architectural membranes mounted on purpose-designed steel frames. They provide shaded cover for carparks, walkways, playgrounds and pool decks; practical shading that also shapes a clear architectural identity. Architects, contractors and facility managers choose these systems when they need a durable, visually light roof without the bulk of conventional roofing.
CI Shade designs, engineers and installs these systems across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain from concept through to maintenance. We provide Gulf-stamped calculations (120–175 kph wind load where required), shop drawings and on-site supervision so projects meet local codes and client expectations.
They balance performance and cost. PVC tensile membranes deliver reliable UV protection, rapid drainage and a slim structural footprint, while steel sub-frames give the strength to handle Gulf winds and sand abrasion. CI Shade combines in-house engineering with off-site fabrication at our 8,000 m² facility to control tolerances and speed up site assembly.
We dimension every structure for intense UV, heat and seasonal sandstorms. The steelwork is specified with corrosion-resistant coatings suitable for coastal and desert environments. Membrane choice — PVC with optional PVDF coatings or HDPE for low-cost screens — is matched to exposure and expected service life, and wind load designs typically cover the 120–175 kph range.
CI Shade engineers projects in CAD and SolidWorks, producing full fabric patterning and stamped calculations when required by clients. We collaborate with architects on form-finding and give contractors clear construction drawings, connection details and a site erection plan so the installation is predictable and auditable.
PVC tensile membrane structures are versatile. They can be sculptural or strictly functional — both approaches are common in the region.
We produce stamped engineering calculations for KSA projects and size frames for 120–175 kph wind load where required. That means predictable performance under local weather loads and straightforward approvals from local authorities.
Our 8,000 m² production facility in the Gulf supports off-site fabrication, quality-controlled welding and precise fabric patterning. Off-site work reduces on-site hours and improves finish quality on every pvc tensile membrane structures Al Khobar project.
We work with PVC-coated polyester membranes as a default for cost-effective canopies, with PVDF coatings available for enhanced staining and UV resistance. For lightweight screening uses we specify HDPE; for high-transparency roof glazing clients may request ETFE cushions. Steelwork is fabricated to ASTM or equivalent Gulf-recognised standards, with hot-dip galvanizing or epoxy primer plus topcoat where project exposure demands it. The CI Shade process runs: site survey, FEM-backed form-finding, CAD patterning, off-site fabrication, and supervised site erection.
Membranes resist UV and are easily cleaned; periodic inspection prevents small fabric abrasions from becoming large problems. Frames are protected with corrosion coatings and simple maintenance schedules — wash membranes, inspect fixings, touch up coatings — keep performance high. CI Shade provides maintenance programmes and warranty support for clients across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
