Anti Hurricane Padel Court | FORCE-HX

Introduction

The UNIPADEL FORCE-HX is an engineering-grade, heavy-duty flagship court designed for regions prone to extreme storms and tropical cyclones. Engineered specifically for areas frequently hit by severe typhoons and hurricane-prone coastal zones—such as the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico—the FORCE-HX features a groundbreaking design utilizing 200×200×6 mm military-grade, ultra-heavy-duty steel structural columns and a portal frame system. Combined with 50×50×4 mm heavy-duty steel mesh, the court achieves an astonishing wind resistance limit of 220 km/h (136.8 mph), meeting the structural standards for a Category 4 hurricane. The FORCE-HX exemplifies top-tier engineering for padel facilities in harsh outdoor environments, standing as a robust steel barrier capable of withstanding extreme natural disasters.

 

Why Choose FORCE-HX?

Industry-Leading Defensive Limits: Featuring a 200×200×6 mm main structural profile and 220 km/h wind resistance, it meets the rigorous Category 4 hurricane standard, providing a worry-free security barrier for high-end projects located in zones prone to extreme weather.

Ultra-Stable Portal Truss Architecture: An innovative design integrating a unified top load-bearing beam with a reinforced column connection system locks the entire court into a rigid, monolithic structure. Even when subjected to sustained severe typhoons or intense vibrations, structural displacement is negligible, completely eliminating the risks of tempered glass breakage or steel beam tilting.

Hardcore Engineering Aesthetics with a Powerful Presence: Constructed from heavy-duty square steel, the design exudes a visually striking sense of modern industrial power; it not only fully complies with the technical specifications of the International Padel Federation (FIP) but also easily passes stringent building permit reviews in Europe and the Americas for structures in extreme storm zones.

Material Characteristics and Court Design

Anti Hurricane Padel Court FORCE-HX Dimensions

It features standard competitive dimensions of 20 m × 10 m, with a total clear height for the frame and gantry that meets international professional court standards.

The core load-bearing columns utilize extra-thick, specialized 200 × 200 × 6 mm square tubing; their self-weight, moment of inertia, and section modulus for bending resistance are several times greater than those of conventional court columns.

The mesh consists of thickened, high-toughness steel wire (50 × 50 × 4 mm) integrated with a heavy-duty frame clamping structure and high-strength reinforced connection points.

FORCE-HX Padel Court Target Applications

Regions along the Western Pacific typhoon corridor (such as the coastal islands of Southeast Asia, the southeastern coast of China, and Okinawa, Japan).

The Caribbean islands and the Gulf Coast region of the United States and Mexico.

Extreme environments characterized by intense wind shear, such as rooftop terraces on high-rise buildings, exposed cliffside seaside clubs, and open, unobstructed coastal locations.

FORCE-HX Wind Resistance Advantages

Withstands instantaneous wind gusts of up to 220 km/h (136.8 mph), meeting Category 4 hurricane design standards.

Utilizes a closed-loop portal frame system that instantly channels extreme wind pressure—exerted on the windward face—through the top load-bearing beam and 200 mm heavy-duty main columns down to the underground concrete foundation; this significantly reduces shear stress at the glass-to-column joints, ensuring structural integrity even during devastating hurricanes.

Post Colors

UNIPADEL provides customized padel court posts in a variety of colors to meet personalized needs for the appearance of the venue.

The black frame is stable and elegant, suitable for high-end venue design; the blue frame is full of vitality and brings a sense of freshness; the orange frame is bright and enthusiastic, suitable for fashionable style venues; the white frame is simple and elegant, highlighting the high-end atmosphere; the green frame is natural and environmentally friendly, blending in with the environment; the purple frame is mysterious and unique, increasing the visual appeal of the venue.

In addition to the above, customers can also choose other custom colors according to their brand or personal preferences. The choice of frame color is usually combined with the lawn color to ensure the best overall visual effect.

Turf Artificial Grass

UNIPADEL curly textured padel turf is the most popular choice on the current market and is widely used in the World Padel Tour (WPT) and many professional competitions. The characteristic of this artificial turf is that the fibers on its surface are specially designed to form a unique texture and pattern in a curled or twisted way, which provides athletes with better grip and traction and enhances the realism of the game.

Curly padel turf not only improves sports performance, but also creates a more comfortable game experience for players. In addition, the turf can be made of a variety of synthetic fiber materials, and the performance and durability of each material varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, which makes different types of turf show obvious differences when used. We are committed to using high-quality raw materials to ensure that we provide top-quality products for high-level competitions and professional padel players to meet their strict requirements for quality and performance.

Whether on the training ground or in competition, UNIPADEL curly turf will become a reliable partner for athletes' performance, making every game full of passion and challenge.

Padel Court Frequently Asked Questions

The UNIPADEL FORCE-HX is engineered with heavy-duty 200 × 200 × 6 mm structural steel columns and 50 × 50 × 4 mm rigid electro-welded steel mesh panels. Validated by rigorous structural mechanics analysis, the court delivers verified wind resistance up to 220 km/h (136.8 mph), fully meeting Category 4 Hurricane engineering standards.   

The FORCE-HX is engineered specifically for extreme weather zones, including West Pacific typhoon belts, the Caribbean basin, and the Gulf Coast region. It is also the ideal structural solution for high wind-shear sites such as commercial rooftop padel installations, exposed cliffside sports clubs, and open coastal waterfronts where severe winds and gusting storms occur.   

In place of standard freestanding corner columns, the FORCE-HX incorporates an integrated continuous portal-beam frame interconnected with 200 × 200 × 6 mm steel uprights. When subjected to Category 4 hurricane winds up to 220 km/h, this closed-loop portal structure functions as a rigid three-dimensional box, instantly dissipating dynamic lateral wind loads across the overhead steel beams and down into the ground foundation. This minimizes frame deflection and prevents structural distortion from placing breaking stress on the glass panels.

Because of the heavy deadweight of the 200 × 200 × 6 mm steel framework and the high base shear loads produced at wind speeds of 220 km/h:   Concrete Foundation: We recommend a reinforced concrete beam or slab foundation rated at C25/C30 compressive strength with a minimum thickness of 150–200 mm, secured using heavy-duty chemical anchor capsules or pre-embedded anchor bolts.Glazing Standards: The court is engineered for EN 12150-2 certified 12 mm thermally tempered safety glass or PVB/SGP laminated tempered glass to withstand extreme wind pressures and impact from airborne storm debris.   

All structural components, including the 200 × 200 × 6 mm steel profiles and 50 × 50 × 4 mm welded mesh panels, undergo thorough hot-dip galvanization inside and out to prevent internal rusting. The exterior receives an architectural-grade, anti-UV electrostatic polyester powder coating to shield the surface from salt spray, acid rain, and intense sun exposure. All structural connecting bolts and glass mounting clamps meet CE certification standards and are forged from 304 or marine-grade 316 stainless steel to eliminate galvanic corrosion.
