Turnkey Padel Court Solutions – Models, Design and Construction

 A padel court is generally 10 meters wide and 20 meters long, with glass or solid walls on three sides and a mesh fence on the fourth side. These dimensions may vary slightly depending on local regulations or site constraints.

Construction time depends on several factors: material availability, weather conditions, workforce, and project specifications. On average, building a padel court takes between 4 and 8 weeks, but this may vary depending on the scope of the project.

A padel court generally consists of the following elements:

• Playing surface: Usually artificial turf or sand, offering shock absorption and player comfort.
• Walls: Glass or masonry on three sides, allowing ball rebound during play.
• Fence: Mesh panels on the fourth side to contain the ball.
• Lines: Court markings for service boxes, boundaries, and fault zones.
• Lighting: Required for indoor or outdoor courts to ensure optimal playing conditions at all times. These components may vary slightly depending on local regulations or specific site requirements.

The glass thickness of padel court walls depends on standards and specific construction requirements. Typically, safety glass with a thickness of 10 to 12 mm is used.
In some cases, slightly different thicknesses may be required depending on local safety and durability requirements. In all cases, applicable safety standards must be met to ensure strength and resistance during play.

Yes, padel courts are generally delivered with sand, which is used as infill for the playing surface. The sand is evenly distributed to create a stable and uniform surface.
This sand layer helps absorb shocks, improves grip, reduces injury risk, and enhances drainage by absorbing moisture—particularly important for outdoor courts exposed to changing weather conditions.

The cost of a padel court can vary widely depending on factors such as material quality, court configuration, construction specifics, and labor costs.
In general, construction costs range between €20,000 and €80,000, but can be higher depending on project complexity and additional options such as lighting, drainage systems, and safety equipment.
It is recommended to request several quotes to obtain accurate pricing based on your needs and budget, and to take long-term maintenance and operating costs into account.

Sand is used on padel courts for several reasons:

• Shock absorption: It cushions impacts, reducing stress on players’ joints.
• Surface stability: It creates a uniform and stable surface for smooth movement and precise shots.
• Better grip: It improves traction, making quick movements and direction changes safer.
• Drainage: It promotes water drainage, keeping the surface playable even in wet conditions. Overall, sand improves safety, stability, and playing quality.

In most cases, it is possible to install two padel courts on a single tennis court, depending on available space and local regulations.
Padel courts are smaller than tennis courts, making it feasible to divide a standard tennis court into two padel courts, sometimes with adjustments to dimensions and equipment. Consulting a specialist is recommended to assess feasibility and ensure compliance with safety standards.

Yes, a padel court can be installed on an existing tennis court by converting it into one or more padel courts. This approach is commonly used to optimize existing facilities.
The conversion typically includes:

• Adjusting dimensions and line markings
• Installing glass or solid walls
• Adapting or replacing the playing surface

Adding equipment such as nets, lighting, and seating
Specialized companies should carry out this type of conversion to ensure compliance with safety and quality standards.

Yes, orientation can influence playing comfort and court performance, particularly regarding:

• Sun exposure: Minimizing glare for players
• Wind: Reducing disruption during play
• Lighting: Ensuring even illumination for floodlit courts
• Drainage: Helping rainwater flow away efficiently
  While not as critical as in some other sports, proper orientation improves overall play quality.

Special features of padel court lines
Court lines clearly define play zones and rules:

• Service lines: Define the service area
• Baselines: Mark the back of the court
• Sidelines: Define lateral boundaries
• Center line: Divides the court into two halves (where applicable)

Stop lines / glass baseline references: Used on courts with glass walls to judge in/out situations
These markings are essential for fair and consistent gameplay.

Indoor padel courts typically require a minimum clear height of 6 meters. This ensures players can play freely, especially for high shots such as lobs. Local building regulations should be checked to confirm minimum height requirements.

Permit requirements vary by location and local regulations. In many cases, a building permit or official authorization may be required, particularly for major construction or installations in regulated areas.
It is advisable to consult local planning authorities to determine applicable requirements before starting the project.

Padel is generally considered quieter than sports such as tennis or football, but noise can still occur, especially during intensive use or when multiple courts are active.
Main noise sources include ball impacts, player conversations, and contact with the walls.
Noise mitigation measures may include:

• Regulating playing hours
• Using sound-absorbing materials
• Landscaping with hedges or trees

Maintaining open communication with neighbors
With proper planning, noise impact can usually be minimized.

Padel court construction may be subject to specific requirements depending on regulations and site conditions, including:

• Safety standards
• Building and urban planning regulations
• Zoning rules
• Building permits

Accessibility standards for people with reduced mobility
Consulting local authorities and complying with all applicable regulations is essential to ensure safety, legality, and long-term functionality.

Yes, replacing the turf surface of an existing padel court is generally straightforward, especially if the surface is worn or damaged, or if you wish to update its appearance. This is often more cost-effective than rebuilding the entire court.
The process usually includes:

• Removing the old turf
• Preparing and repairing the base
• Installing the new turf according to manufacturer guidelines

Securing edges and adjusting court markings
Choosing high-quality turf specifically designed for padel and using experienced installers ensures optimal playability, comfort, and durability.
