A shade or fence in Taif: choose the material before the price
In other cities a shade is mostly about sun. In Taif it also takes spring and autumn rain, the occasional hailstorm like the one in April 2023, and…

A few details make the quotes comparable.
A car shade, and for how many cars? Garden seating? A yard screen? Note length and width, or length and height.
Watch where rain runs off in the yard today. The shade must shed water away from the door and the seating.
On higher ground like Al Hada and Al Shafa the wind is stronger. Note where it comes from, for the fixings.
Tiles, garden soil, or a concrete slab? That decides the kind of footing.
So you know what to ask the company before you sign.
Light material or thin sheets can't take hailstones. Ask about thickness and whether the guarantee covers hail.
Too little slope, or slack fabric. It needs a clear fall and a drain to a sensible spot.
Weak tension or loose bolts, especially on higher ground.
Rain and damp with paint that isn't rust-resistant. The footings where water collects go first.
Posts too far apart or weak footings. Wind pushes hard on a large surface.
On rose farms or in gardens, the height has to leave room to move around and bring equipment in.
In Taif, ask three things about every material: rain, hail and wind.
Rigid sheets that keep rain off and let light in.
Tensioned over a steel frame, in pyramid and cone shapes.
Cheaper, gives shade and lets air through.
Go out and check the tension, bolts and panels. A small tear grows with the next rain.
Clear the shade's drainage and get the leaves off.
As soon as you see rust at a footing, have it cleaned and painted.
Clean the fabric with water, no harsh products.
Keep the answers in writing, in the quote or on WhatsApp.
Make them justify the material, not just offer the cheapest.
For the sheets and the steel. Put it in the quote.
Where will the water go, and how much slope?
In windy places the footing makes a big difference.
Fabric, sheets, paint and tension. And ask about hail.
Frame and footings included?
Any of these is worth a question before you pay.
In Taif it turns into a pond above your car.
Ask for the thickness in writing.
They can shift in the wind.
On the material and the frame.

🧊 If the car will sit under it during hail, a thicker material is worth the difference. Compare quotes for the same material and thickness.
