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.
As a specialised swimming pool shade supplier Madinah, CI Shade designs and delivers engineered fabric canopies for private and public pools. These are not off-the-shelf awnings: they are tensile membrane structures sized, patterned and anchored to perform in the Gulf climate. Architects, developers and facility managers use them to reduce solar gain, protect finishes and extend usable hours at outdoor pools.
CI Shade brings 23+ years of Gulf experience, ISO certification and Aramco approval to projects across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Our design and engineering are carried out in-house with Gulf-stamped calculations to meet local wind and seismic requirements.
Because climate matters. Madinah has intense UV, high daytime temperatures and occasional sand-driven winds — conditions that demand fabrics and frames specified for the Gulf. CI Shade supplies PVDF-coated membranes and marine-grade steelwork, then patterns and stress-tests every panel in SolidWorks and CAD before manufacture.
We design pool canopies to withstand 120–175 kph wind load scenarios where required, and specify coatings that resist UV degradation and chlorine exposure. A PVDF membrane with a 15–20 year lifespan and self-cleaning surface is a common choice; HDPE works well for economical shades where breathability is needed.
CI Shade engineers the structure from concept to completion. We produce stamped calculations, fabrication shop drawings and full fabric patterning using CAD and SolidWorks, then run value-engineering to optimise cost without compromising durability. You get coordinated drawings ready for tender or construction.
Pool shades are used anywhere owners want year-round comfort, solar protection and asset preservation. We design for a wide range of settings.
We specify PVDF and PVC membranes, anti-corrosion steel coatings and marine-grade fixings selected for heat, UV and chlorine exposure. The result: fewer maintenance cycles and better long-term colour retention.
Off-site manufacturing at our 8,000 m² facility keeps production controlled and quality consistent. With 23+ years in the field and Aramco approval, our teams handle large hotel and municipal projects as comfortably as bespoke villa installations.
We work with a range of fabrics: PVDF-coated PVC for longevity and stain resistance, HDPE for cost-effective shade and ETFE or PTFE where translucency is required. Steel frames are fabricated to specification with protective coatings; connections are detailed for poolside corrosion exposure. Every project follows a stepwise process: site survey, concept sketches, structural calculations, shop drawings, off-site fabrication and then installation.
Pool membranes require occasional rinsing and inspection; PVDF-coated fabrics typically deliver 15–20 years of service when correctly installed and maintained. We offer maintenance contracts, warranty support and post-installation inspections to protect your investment and keep warranties valid.
