How long does it take to build a padel court?

Whether it is a club, resort or private villa, more and more people choose to build a professional padel court. So, how long does it take to build a padel tennis court from design to completion? The following will analyze the whole process and construction standards in detail from design planning to construction completion.

1. Design and planning stage: a key step to success or failure

Before building a padel court, the design and planning stage is usually considered to be the most time-consuming and important part of the entire project. This stage includes:

Site survey and measurement: determine the land area, terrain height difference, drainage conditions, etc.

Design plan formulation: including court type (standard panoramic, super panoramic, covered structure, etc.), color style, lawn material, lighting system, etc.

Budget and construction plan: provide detailed quotation and time schedule according to customer needs.

Approval and permission application: depending on the regional situation, some countries or regions require municipal planning permission.

Usually, this stage takes 1 to 4 weeks, depending on communication efficiency and local policies. Once the design plan is finalized and approved, you can enter the construction stage.

2. On-site construction stage: Efficient team completes quickly in 1-2 weeks

After all the preliminary preparations are completed, the on-site construction speed is usually fast, and a standard padel court can be completed within 1 to 2 weeks. The construction process is generally as follows:

Site foundation treatment: clean up debris, lay concrete foundation (or asphalt base), ensure that the ground is flat and has a drainage slope.

Structural frame installation: build steel structure columns and frames, and use anti-rust spray materials to ensure firmness and durability.

Glass and fence installation: The panoramic court is equipped with 12mm tempered glass, which needs to be accurately positioned and fixed during installation.

Artificial turf laying: choose artificial turf of different colors and densities according to the design, and fill it with silica sand or rubber particles.

Installation of lighting system and supporting equipment: install LED court lights, scorers, court access control and other facilities.

Good weather is the key factor to speed up construction

If the weather is sunny and rainless during construction and the foundation is dry, the construction team can speed up the progress. The rainy season or extreme weather may cause delays in progress, and construction time must be reserved in advance.

3. Construction standards and requirements: Create high-quality professional venues

To ensure the service life of the stadium and the quality of the game, the construction must be strictly carried out in accordance with international standards:

1. Foundation and drainage

It is recommended that the foundation thickness is not less than 10cm, and the surface must ensure a micro-slope of 1%-2% for easy drainage.

Use C25 concrete, which has high compressive strength to prevent cracking and settlement.

2. Steel structure and safety glass

All metal frames should use hot-dip galvanized materials and spray anti-ultraviolet and anti-rust paint on the outside.

Tempered glass must comply with the EN12150 EU standard, and the edges must be finely polished to ensure safe installation.

3. Artificial turf and filling materials

The grass height is commonly 10-15mm, with a density of 26000+ needles/square meter, and has good friction and resilience.

Select environmentally friendly silica sand and elastic particles as filling materials to avoid sports injuries.

4. Lighting system

Install 8 LED floodlights, and the average illumination must reach 300-500lx to ensure clear visibility at night.

Reasonable planning and professional construction to ensure efficient implementation

The construction period of a standard padel tennis court is usually between 2 and 6 weeks, of which the design and planning stage takes up the most time. If the site and permit conditions are ripe, the construction can be completed within 1 to 2 weeks.
With an experienced construction team and high-quality materials, you will have a professional padel court that meets international standards, has a long service life, and is both beautiful and practical, providing an ideal competitive and social space for sports enthusiasts.
