Building a commercial padel facility in Southeast Asia requires more than just importing standard steel frames. When ACE Padel decided to develop a 6-court landmark club on the rooftop of Lotus's Kepong in Kuala Lumpur, they needed a padel court manufacturer and builder who could solve three specific challenges: tropical weather durability, strict commercial rooftop load limits, and a tight launch deadline.

UNIPADEL took on the project as the end-to-end padel club construction and equipment partner, managing everything from structural engineering to court commissioning.

Project Overview

• Location: Rooftop Level 3, Lotus's Kepong, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

• Scale: 6 Panoramic Padel Courts (Custom frame finish & competition turf)

• Timeline: 15 days from material staging to final handover

• Scope: Court manufacturing, ocean freight to Port Klang, rooftop logistics coordination, structural anchorage, and on-site padel court installation.

Engineered for the Malaysian Climate

Outdoor and semi-outdoor courts in Malaysia face relentless UV exposure, high humidity, and sudden monsoon downpours. Standard powder-coated steel often shows rust spots along joint seams within 18 months.

For the Kuala Lumpur project, our factory utilized heavy-gauge, hot-dip galvanized steel frames finished with marine-grade electrostatic coating to stop corrosion before it starts. Each court is fitted with certified 12mm toughened safety glass and high-density, texturized monofilament turf that maintains traction even during high-humidity night sessions. The glare-free LED lighting brackets were custom-angled to satisfy local urban light spill regulations while giving players full ball tracking across the glass walls.

Direct Factory Logistics: China to Port Klang

One bottleneck for new club owners in Southeast Asia is freight handling and glass breakage during transit.

• Container Packing: Structures, turf rolls, and accessories are modularly packed into 40HQ containers, with glass sheets secured in heavy-duty steel A-frames.

• Transit Speed: Direct vessels from our factory port to Port Klang take only 7 to 10 days.

• Site Delivery: We provided the project team with full packing lists, crate dimensions, and center-of-gravity data well before arrival, allowing them to coordinate crane lifting onto the 3rd-floor shopping complex roof without disrupting mall operations.

Fast-Track Padel Court Installation

Rooftop installation demands precise engineering. Drilling blindly into concrete slabs can damage waterproofing membranes or hit post-tension cables.

Before shipment, UNIPADEL's engineering team provided detailed foundation anchor drawings, load calculation sheets, and surface drainage run-off requirements (3‰ slope specifications). During assembly, our technical supervisors worked directly on-site alongside the local crew. All 6 panoramic padel courts—including glass placement, turf brushing, and silica sand infill calibration—were fully completed in just over two weeks.
