Overview of Padel Court Types

Outdoor Courts

Outdoor Padel Courts are open-style courts that make full use of the natural environment and provide players with a spacious playing space. Courts are usually built with weather-resistant materials that can withstand various climatic conditions, such as strong winds, rain and ultraviolet rays. The fences around the courts not only ensure the safety of the game, but also provide a wide field of view for spectators to enjoy the game. They are also equipped with efficient drainage systems and night lighting facilities to ensure all-weather use. This type of court is suitable for public facilities, parks and clubs, fully meeting the needs of players and spectators for outdoor sports experience, adding more fun and vitality to sports.

Indoor Courts

Indoor Padel Courts can be used all year round, shielding from rain, strong light and wind, providing players with an ideal playing environment. Its design usually includes a translucent roof that can both introduce natural light and prevent bad weather, and the sides can be open or closed as needed. This type of court is suitable for clubs and private facilities, reducing the possibility of canceling games due to weather while ensuring a comfortable playing temperature.

Portable Courts

Portable courts are modular in design, easy to assemble and disassemble quickly, and are suitable for events, temporary venues or areas where permanent courts cannot be built. It can be set up on a variety of surfaces, without the need for fixed facilities, greatly improving the promotion and flexibility of paddle tennis.

What to prepare before installing a padel court?

Before installing a padel court, here are the key steps and factors to consider:

Design and planning

The standard size of the court is 10m x 20m, and it needs to be located in a suitable location, out of direct sunlight, and the materials (such as glass walls and metal mesh) are selected according to the International Padel Federation standards. In different countries around the world, it may be necessary to apply for planning permission from the local authorities to build courts for public use.

Environmental factors

Site selection: Try to choose a location with low ecological impact.

Environmental materials: Give priority to recyclable and durable materials such as recycled glass and environmentally friendly resins.

Energy-saving systems: Install LED lighting, rainwater collection systems, and design efficient drainage.

Landscape optimization: Plant native plants to enhance biodiversity and reduce water consumption.

Ground preparation

Clearing the site: Remove vegetation and obstacles, and level the foundation.

Excavation and compaction: Excavate as needed and compact the foundation with gravel or sand.

Drainage: Install a complete drainage system to avoid water accumulation.

Foundation construction: Use smooth and flat concrete or asphalt slabs as the court foundation.

Drainage System Installation

Drainage is key to ensuring the all-weather use of the court. An efficient drainage system prevents water accumulation, prolongs the life of the court, and improves safety and playability.

Subbase and base construction

The subbase is made of crushed stone or gravel, which provides stability and drainage; the base is made of concrete or asphalt, which provides a solid support for the court surface. A high-quality foundation is key to ensuring the durability and safety of the court.

Install padel courts method

When installing the posts, fences and light poles of padel courts, it is crucial to ensure quality, safety and functionality. Here are the detailed precautions and methods for several key aspects.

Post installation

The upper crossbar is made of galvanized pipe ø80*80*3.0mm;

other posts and gate posts are all made of ø80*60*3.0mm,

the lower crossbar is ø80*40*3.0mm,

and the lamp arm is 50*50*2.5mm.

Note: There is no post for the glass installation part.

Be sure to choose high-quality and durable post materials, such as galvanized steel or aluminum alloy, to ensure good stability and durability.

Before installing the posts, the position of the posts must be accurately measured and marked to ensure that their spacing and verticality meet standards and regulations.

Use appropriate tools and equipment, such as hydraulic jacks or bolts, to ensure that the posts are installed firmly and vertically to support the fence and wall.

Glass installation

Glass is a key component of padel courts and high-quality tempered glass must be selected to ensure good transparency and impact resistance.

When installing, be sure to use professional techniques and tools to ensure the flatness and verticality of the glass to prevent tilting or cracks.

When fixing the glass, use appropriate gaskets and sealing materials to ensure that it is stable and avoids cracking or leakage.

Fence installation

The frame is ø50*30*2.0mm, divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower;

the dimensions are as follows:

1000mm high*2000mm wide*42 pieces

2000mm high*1000mm wide*4 pieces

The height of the entire court is:

4000mm wide and 3000mm long,

Mesh ¢4.0mm mesh 50*50mm.

Before installing the fence, you must ensure that the posts have been installed and fixed so that the fence can be installed correctly.

Make sure the fence has the right amount of tension, not too loose to prevent the ball from hitting out of bounds, but not too tight to prevent excessive stress on the uprights.

Check every joint of the fence to make sure it is securely connected and will not loosen or break due to the ball hitting it.

Lamp post installation

When selecting the location of the lamp posts, the overall lighting needs of the court and the distance between the lamp posts and the fence and pillars must be taken into consideration to prevent the lights from blocking or affecting the players' vision.

Make sure light poles are installed securely and vertically to prevent the fixture from wobbling or tilting, and avoid installation within court boundaries to prevent damage or injury from balls hitting the lighting fixture.

Use weather-resistant lamp and bracket materials to ensure that the lamp posts can withstand various weather conditions and ensure that the lights can illuminate the entire court stably and evenly.

Why are padel courts durable after professional installation?

The selection of high-quality materials is the basis for durability

The durability of padel courts after professional installation is mainly attributed to several key factors. The selection of high-quality materials is the basis for ensuring durability. Professional padel courts usually use high-quality artificial turf and sturdy hot-dip galvanized structural materials, which have been rigorously tested to withstand high-intensity sports impact and harsh climatic conditions.

Reminder of professional installation technology

Professional installation technology is essential. The installation team will follow industry standards and best practices to ensure that every detail of the court is properly handled. For example, the laying of the turf needs to be precisely aligned to avoid any wrinkles or bubbles, which can ensure the uniformity and service life of the turf. At the same time, the drainage system design of the bottom layer of the court must also be scientific and reasonable to prevent water accumulation and reduce damage to the turf and structure.

Regular maintenance and care to extend the service life of the court

Regular maintenance and care are also an important part of extending the service life of the padel court. The professional UNIPADEL team will remind customers to provide regular inspection and cleaning services for the venue, repair any potential problems in a timely manner, and ensure that the court is always in the best condition. Through this comprehensive management and maintenance, professionally installed padel courts not only have excellent durability, but also provide athletes with a safe and comfortable sports experience.
