Padel Court Installation Process Guide

With the rapid popularity of padel sports around the world, more and more clubs, sports centers and private customers are starting to build their own padel courts. A high-quality padel court can not only enhance the sports experience, but also enhance the professional image and commercial value of the venue. The installation process of the padel court involves several key links, including ground foundation construction, steel structure construction, glass and fence installation, lighting and turf laying, etc. Each step is related to the safety, durability and aesthetics of the court.

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.

At UNIPADEL, we are committed to providing our customers with top-notch padel court installation services, ensuring that every project meets the standards and requirements of the sport. Our installation process includes several key steps to ensure the durability and playability of the court.

1 Topographic survey

We conduct a comprehensive topographic survey to assess the suitability and foundation conditions of the venue. This initial inspection is crucial to help us develop an appropriate construction plan.

2 Define the boundaries of the court

We set up perimeter boards or curbs to clearly define the boundaries of the court. This step not only helps to maintain the integrity of the field, but also ensures that there is no interference from external factors during play.

3 Turf selection

When it comes to turf selection, our experts will select the most suitable artificial turf for specific needs to ensure the best performance and comfort of athletes during competition.

4 Lighting system and fencing

We install customized lighting systems and fencing to enhance the functionality and safety of the court, ensuring that athletes can have a good playing experience in all conditions.

5 Transport delivery

We use a transport delivery method to ensure that the court is fully operational and ready for use at any time. At the same time, UNIPADEL also provides professional maintenance services to help customers keep the padel court in perfect condition, so that every sports enthusiast can enjoy a high-quality game experience.

UNIPADEL - Install padel courts methods

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.

Step 1: 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.

Step 2: 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.

Step 3: 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.

Step 4: 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.
