A car shade against the Riyadh sun, or a screen for privacy? Here are rough prices per square metre, the difference between materials, and what to agree before it's fitted.
Most companies charge per square metre including fitting. The price varies a lot with the material, its thickness and the frame.
| Service | Rough price |
|---|---|
| PVC fabric car shade | SAR 100 – 320 per m² |
| Steel shade | SAR 100 – 250 per m² |
| Polycarbonate (Lexan) shade | SAR 200 – 450 per m² |
| Wooden shade or pergola | SAR 400 – 1,200 per m² |
| Steel or slatted screen | SAR 100 – 350 per m² |
| Fabric screen | SAR 90 – 250 per m² |
💡 For PVC fabric, Korean is usually cheaper than German or European, but takes the sun less well. Ask about the fabric type, thickness and guarantee.
🔩 The frame matters more than the fabric: ask about the steel thickness and the paint (rust-proof), because that's what holds the shade up for years.
A rough guide from 6 sources in Riyadh (October 2026), mostly price pages of shade and fence companies. The final price is agreed between you and the company. Laqeeni doesn't set prices or take commission.
Usually cheap fabric that can't take the Riyadh sun. Good fabric comes with a guarantee of several years against fading and tearing.
Paint that isn't rust-proof, or water collecting at the base. Clean and repaint before the steel weakens.
The tension has loosened or bolts have come loose. The company can re-tension the fabric.
Not enough slope. A shade needs a fall so rainwater runs off.
Measure the height you need from the street and neighbours before it's made, not after.
Some materials hold heat. Light-coloured fabric or insulated polycarbonate keeps it cooler.
The fabric (Korean, German, European), the steel thickness and the type of polycarbonate. Get it in writing.
Measure together, and get the area and price per m² in the quote.
Ask how the posts are fixed: concrete footings or bolts into tiles? It makes a difference to how solid it is.
How many years on the fabric? And on the frame and paint?
If you live in a building or compound, ask about rules on colour or height before you order.
Look at shades they fitted two or more years ago, not just new photos.

Spraying the fabric with water every few months removes dust and protects the colour.
Before summer and the windy season, check the bolts and tension.
As soon as you see rust, clean and paint it before it spreads.
The frame is built to hold the fabric, not things hung from it.

Join freeGood PVC fabric is cheaper and gives good shade. Steel and polycarbonate are stronger and last longer, but cost more. Most important: a strong frame and fabric with a guarantee.
A shade for one or two cars usually takes one to two days after it's made, depending on the foundations and size.
No. Laqeeni is a directory that connects you with the company directly. You agree and pay between you.
