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.
Tensile fabric structures Jeddah are engineered membrane canopies and roof systems tailored for the city’s intense sun, wind and occasional sand. Architects, contractors and facility managers use them for carparks, walkways, stadiums and pool enclosures because the solutions cut solar gain while creating dramatic architectural form. The primary benefit is a high strength-to-weight ratio: a thin PVDF or PVC membrane covers a large span with relatively light steel framing.
CI Shade handles the full delivery cycle across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain — concept design, Gulf-stamped calculations, off-site manufacturing and site installation. We bring 23+ years of regional experience, an 8,000 m² production facility and approvals that match client procurement requirements.
You want shade that endures. CI Shade engineers tensile fabric structures for the Gulf climate using materials and details proven to resist UV degradation, high temperatures and wind loads from 120–175 kph where required. The result is predictable lifecycle cost, controlled thermal performance and an aesthetic that supports contemporary architecture.
We select membrane systems — PVDF-coated PVC, PTFE, ETFE or HDPE — based on performance needs. PVDF membranes, for example, deliver a 15–20 year expected surface life with a self-cleaning finish and strong UV stability. Steelwork is specified to S355 or equivalent, hot-dip galvanised and optionally painted with journeyman-grade polyurethanes to resist coastal corrosion. That specification matters in Jeddah’s salt-laden air.
CI Shade designs in CAD and SolidWorks, runs finite-element form-finding and provides Gulf-stamped structural calculations. We produce full shop drawings, CNC-cut fabric patterns and fabrication kits ready for site. Client reviews occur at schematic, design development and pre-fabrication stages so there are no surprises during install.
Tensile fabric structures Jeddah are used across public and private sectors where shade, cover and identity are required. We tailor each installation to the project brief and local conditions.
We deliver Gulf-stamped calculations for wind and snow loads where applicable, and produce detailed connection designs for contractor approval. That attention to structural verification shortens procurement reviews and reduces client risk.
Off-site production in our 8,000 m² facility allows precision cutting, welded details and quality control. CI Shade is ISO certified and Aramco approved on qualifying packages — credentials clients in KSA expect on major projects.
Typical membrane choices include PVDF-coated PVC for a balance of cost and longevity, PTFE for long-span architectural roofs, ETFE cushions for translucent canopies, and HDPE knitted fabrics for simple shade sails. Steel columns and rafters use specified grades with hot-dip galvanizing; anchorages are designed for the local soil and poured concrete capacities. Our process starts with a site survey, followed by form-finding, engineering, shop drawings, factory manufacture and controlled site installation.
Expect the membrane surface to last 12–20 years depending on UV exposure and cleaning regime; PVDF coatings slow chalking and staining. Routine visual inspections twice a year, periodic tension checks and gentle wash-downs keep performance optimal. CI Shade offers maintenance contracts and warranty support to align with client asset-management cycles.
