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.
Sports shade structures Saudi Arabia refers to engineered tensile canopies and framed covers designed to protect players, spectators and equipment from intense sun, UV and blowing sand. Contractors, architects and facility managers specify these systems for outdoor courts, grandstands and training areas where comfort and longevity matter. CI Shade supplies end-to-end solutions — from concept sketches to on-site commissioning — tailored for Gulf conditions.
With 23+ years in the region and an 8,000 m² production facility, CI Shade delivers Gulf-stamped engineering and client-ready shop drawings. We operate across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, holding ISO certification and Aramco approval where required.
CIs Shade engineers sports shade structures to withstand Gulf extremes while keeping usable area cool and protected. You get design flexibility — free-span canopies, membrane-tensioned roofs or framed steel covers — coupled with fabric selection suited to UV exposure and chlorine environments. We handle procurement, manufacturing and installation so clients receive a single accountable partner.
We design for high UV, sand abrasion and gusty winds. CI Shade engineers structures with stamped calculations that meet 120–175 kph wind load requirements where specified, and recommends PVDF- or PTFE-coated membranes for prolonged UV stability. The goal is predictable performance season after season, not a quick fix that needs constant repair.
Our in-house team uses CAD and SolidWorks for geometry, fabric patterning and connection details. Shop drawings and construction documents are produced to client review and stamped when required by local authorities. We collaborate with architects and MEP teams to integrate lighting, drainage and spectator sightlines into the canopy design.
Sports shade structures are used where people gather or train outdoors and need reliable shelter from sun and sand. Typical deployments include:
CI Shade produces stamped structural calculations and detailed connection design for local permitting. We size members and anchorages to match soil conditions and client risk requirements rather than guessing.
Manufactured off-site in our 8,000 m² facility, components are quality-checked before delivery. CI Shade is ISO certified and Aramco approved, which streamlines approvals on large public and private projects.
We work with PVC, PVDF, HDPE, ETFE and PTFE membranes, selecting materials by project exposure, lifespan targets and budget. Steel frames are specified to S275/S355 equivalents with hot-dip galvanising or duplex coating for coastal sites. Our process: site survey, concept design, stamped calculations, off-site fabrication, certified installation and post-install inspection.
PVDF-coated membranes commonly deliver 15–20 years of service in the Gulf when cleaned and inspected periodically; HDPE shade fabrics offer lower cost with good UV performance for open-weave applications. CI Shade provides maintenance contracts, routine inspections and warranty support to extend service life and protect asset value.
