WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN DESIGNING A PADEL COURT

A good padel court design requires careful consideration of various crucial elements to ensure a top-notch playing experience for enthusiasts. When embarking on the journey of creating a padel court, there are essential factors to keep in mind:

• Court Dimensions and Layout - ensure the court adheres to standard regulations, providing ample playing space for competitive matches
• Surface Materials - choose the right materials to optimize ball bounce and player movement, enhancing the overall playing experience
• Fencing - select fencing that offers both safety and visibility, maintaining an engaging atmosphere while ensuring players' security.
• Lighting - install adequate lighting to enable uninterrupted gameplay during low-light conditions, extending playing hours.
• Eco-friendly Features - incorporate sustainable elements in the design to promote environmental consciousness and reduce the court's ecological impact
• Aesthetics - optimize the court's visual appeal through creative design choices, making it an inviting and attractive venue for players of all skill levels.

Another element to take into consideration for your padel court design is the structural difference between indoor and outdoor padel courts.

They may seem similar at first glance, but delving into the finer details reveals two important design considerations: 

• The weather in your region plays a key role in material selection, especially for outdoor courts exposed to extreme heat, cold, or moisture. Durability becomes paramount under these conditions
• Lighting is another key aspect to ponder for both types of courts. As we already said, brightness is vital for optimal gameplay, without causing eyestrain or fatigue. Indoor padel courts can benefit from energy-efficient LED lighting.

Last but not least, always remember that before delving into the design of your padel court, it's crucial to navigate the intricacies of necessary permits, which can vary depending on whether it's an indoor or outdoor court.

PADEL COURT DIMENSIONS

According to the International Padel Federation (FIP), a padel court is 20 meters long and 10 meters wide, about half of a regular tennis court, calculating that the limit of the playing ground is given by the structure itself.

Here are a padel court dimensions:

• The field is divided in half by a net and at a distance of 6.95 m the service lines are drawn;
• A perpendicular line divides the area between the net and the service lines in half;
• Each line has a width of 5 cm;
• The back walls are 4 m high.

But let's take a closer look at the size of each element.

PADEL TENNIS COURT SIZE IN METERS: THE NET

The net of a padel court is 10 meters long and 88 cm high in the center (at the extremes it reaches up to 92 cm). The net is supported by a metal cable (1cm in diameter), whose ends are attached to two side posts at most 1.05 m high.

PADEL TENNIS COURT SIZE IN METERS: THE WALLS

• In the case of panoramic padel courts, therefore without a cover, the back walls are typically 4 meters high at their highest point;
• In the case of covered padel courts the walls are usually 8 meters high with a peak of maximum height of 8.90 meters in the central point of the structure, which is made in the shape of a dome or arch to optimize strength and capacity.

In both cases, Italgreen manufactures the structure, including the net, walls and cover, if any, in fiberglass: a winning choice that allows to reduce wear, zero rust and thus reduce maintenance costs, as well as the blemishes generated by the wear itself.

PADEL COURTS STRUCTURE

The considerations to be made while building padel courts are different but the structure of a padel field always includes some important elements that are present in each installation. The usual structure of a padel court must include:

• FLOOR: It is important that the floor of a padel court meets the criteria of hardness, speed and roughness to ensure a very good sliding-bounce of the ball. You can find concrete flooring treated with slippery products but artificial turf cover is preferred.
• WALLS: Usually these are prefabricated structures especially in the case of the construction of a fixed padel court. Again, the positioning of tempered glass is preferred, ensuring the correct bounce and, above all, promoting the view from the outside.
• FENCE: The most important element in the fence of a padel court is the material that must be resistant to the weather and stresses of the game. Zinc or plasticized nets are usually preferred to ensure maximum resistance over time. The entrance can be delimited by two doors (similar to the fence) or you can also choose to leave it open.
• ILLUMINATION: Probably the most important aspect of padel courts, it must be designed to ensure coverage of the whole field but at the same time should not dazzle the players. During construction, the materials used and their arrangement must be evaluated to establish the best solution.

If you're looking for a reliable padel court builder for the installation of all these fundamentale elements, count on Italgreen!

Now that we've uncovered the key elements required to build a padel court, let's delve into the installation process. To guarantee it meets the sport's speed and playability demands, there are essential steps to follow in constructing a durable and easily maintainable padel court.

PADEL COURT COST

How much does it cost to build a padel court? There is no single answer, given that the final quote depends on the materials and situation in which you intend to install the court, as well as the possibility of replacing pre-existing tennis courts with two or more padel courts. One thing is for sure: padel fields ensure a significant recovery in costs thanks to the optimization of the spaces and the low costs of management and maintenance, which are further reduced when opting for synthetic turf.

Italgreen supports you during all phases of the construction of a paddle court to ensure an excellent cost/quality ratio through:

• Inspection and topographical survey;
• Feasibility study;
• Technical and economic elaboration of the project of the paddle court construction and installation of the artificial turf and complementary works;
• Static testing;
• Certificate of fitness that attests to the conditions of safety, hygiene and health of the work and compliance with technical standards;
• Extraordinary maintenance of the padel court.

In how much time do I reduce a paddle court cost? One thing is certain: padel courts guarantee a considerable recovery of costs thanks to the optimization of space and low management and maintenance costs, which are further lowered when you opt for a synthetic grass surface.

Considering a rent and an average turnout, in fact, the return takes place in about a year. This timeframe, of course, can double because if the padel court construction also requires the realization of the concrete slab, the cost goes up. However, it must be calculated that a possible cover allows you to use the padel field 365 days a year at all possible times, which also increases the potential economic income.

PADEL COURT CONSTRUCTION COST

A quote for a padel court requires a good amount of information and only after a project and evaluation of the materials and installation will it be possible to get a real idea of a padel court construction cost.

Elements to be evaluated in the quote of a padel field are, for example:

• The choice of specific fencing structures and colors;

WHY INVEST IN PADEL: CONCLUSIONS

Why should you start investing in padel fields? More and more public and private facilities are deciding to include a padel court in their business plan. In fact, investing in padel is economically convenient for a number of reasons that we have already mentioned and that are worth summarizing. Not least, the fact that this sport is gaining a lot of ground in the world and in the US, especially in Texas, Florida, California and New York State. According to the USPA (United States Padel Association), there will be around 30,000 courts and over 8 million players by .

Today, the US counts around 160 Padel courts (both public and private ones). This number is going to double in as Padel is becoming more and more popular.

But there are also purely economic reasons why investing in padel is a more than profitable idea:

• Optimize the space in your sports center: first of all, the padel court measures about 10 x 20 m, which is half the size of a tennis court - meaning that if you want, you can build almost two padel courts instead of one tennis court;
• Double the turnover: padel requires four players, unlike tennis, which requires two; 
• Low maintenance and year-round accessibility: finally, synthetic grass for the padel field allows you to save even more because it requires little maintenance, does not need to be irrigated and makes your field usable all year round, even after heavy downpours - the underlying drainage system, in fact, prevents the formation of puddles and mud on the surface.

Recently, building a padel court seems to be the most popular solution for hotels and recreational facilities, but also for car manufacturers. But how is a padel court built? First of all, by relying on specialised companies such as Italgreen.

Invented in the early 70s in Mexico, padel (or paddle) has now taken hold all over the world, including Italy. The official presentation of this sport took place in May , when a padel court was built at the Bologna Expo centre during the Sport Show event, a court on which the representatives of Spain, Italy and Argentina competed.

In Italy, it was then officially recognised by CONI and included, in , in FIT (Italian Tennis Federation).

Let's go into the details of this sport by discovering:

Padel key figures

As we have already mentioned, an increasing number of private and public centres are building padel courts; not to mention clothing brands such as Adidas, Joma or Asics, which are increasingly investing in this sport.

Nothing surprising if we take a glance at the key figures in Italy for :

• over padel courts are regularly open in Italy
• 7,000 are registered athletes (in there were only 300)
• about 50,000 have played in general

In , padel could even be included in the Paris Olympics!

Building a padel court: here's how

The first thing to do when considering whether and where to build a padel court is to make sure you have enough space. In general the court is 10 m wide and 20 m long, with the back walls being essential to correctly play the game.

But don't get lost in overly complicated calculations. If you need advice, Italgreen engineers will take care of delivering you a turnkey padel court. We work step by step, following each and every fundamental operation to build a padel court:

• first of all, an inspection to evaluate the space and make sure that there are no imperfections in the ground
• installation of a perimeter slab or curb following the geological survey
• synthetic turf installation
• structure installation with glass (12mm)
• choice of accessory products - lighting, potential coverage

Choose the synthetic turf for your padel court

The choice of turf is a particularly delicate point because stiffness, softness and speed of play depend on it.

Generally, we recommend a synthetic turf such as 12 Padel Pro and 14 Padel, specially designed for padel courts, particularly easy to maintain and available in three colours (blue, red and green).

A synthetic turf padel court, in fact, has significant benefits such as:

• it requires little maintenance and therefore also significantly saves costs
• the possibility of using it all year round
• optimal rebound and ball trajectories
• perfect foot grip and sliding
• remarkable overall playing comfort

12 Padel Pro is a 10mm high synthetic turf mantle. Recently improved, it is composed of two-tone textured polyethylene fibres for a natural effect. 12 Padel Pro features include:

• frost and UV ray resistance
• high elastic memory
• durability

14 Padel, 12 mm high, is made up of twisted fibrillated fibres that make it resistant to frost and UV rays. It is a type of synthetic padel turf:

• two-tone, for a realistic effect
• with a great elastic memory, which allows the fibres to return to a vertical position after being trod on

Fibreglass structures

The construction of a padel court also involves the choice of suitable structures. In fact, padel courts are usually equipped with iron structures which, however, rust easily and undergo corrosion from salt mist.

Italgreen, on the other hand, offers an innovative solution: it is the first company in the world to have patented fibreglass structures for padel courts. The latter, unlike those made of iron, not only do not rust, but do not undergo structural failure and require almost no maintenance.

Furthermore, the new Italgreen fibreglass structures are also:

• lightweight
• easy to install
• with high mechanical resistance
• resistant to fire, UV rays and salt mist corrosion

Why you should build a padel court instead of a five-a- side or tennis court

There are at least two good reasons why you could choose to build a padel court instead of a five-a-side football pitch, and both are very concrete: one concerns the necessary spaces, the other the economic side.

Here they are:

• the padel court is a third of a five-a-side football pitch - you can virtually install three paddle courts instead of a five-a-side football pitch
• padel always requires four players - if you calculate to apply similar fees (for example, &#; 15 each), you will earn about &#; 180 Euro (&#; 15 Euro x 12 players distributed in the three courts you build instead of a football pitch, which would only earn you &#; 50)

The same goes for tennis: the padel court, in fact, is about half the size of a tennis court and requires four players instead of two: there is no doubt therefore that, even in this case, you will earn more than double!
