Padel Stadium Construction: Information and Benefits
The cost of a padel court is quite low and its small size allows it to be created almost anywhere. Two to three courts can be built on a tennis court.
Benefits from the construction of padel courts:
1. Increase of athletes using the field
2. Optimization of unused space
3. Alternative and compatible with tennis
Dimensions of Padel court
According to the International Padel Federation (FIP), a court is 20 meters long and 10 meters wide, about half the size of a regular tennis court, considering that the court limit is given by the structure itself.
The following are the dimensions of a padel court:
The field is divided in half with a net and at a distance of 6.95 m.
A vertical line divides the area between the net and the lines in half.
Each line is 5 cm wide.
The rear walls are 4 m high.
Size of Padel court nets:
The net of a padel field is 10 meters long and 88 cm high in the center (at the ends it reaches 92 cm). The net is supported by a metal cable (1cm in diameter), the ends of which are connected by two side poles 1.05 m high.
Padel court wall size:
The walls are usually 4 m high. However, there are two main variants:
1. In the first variant, the wall has different heights: 3 m height and 2 m length on the side that separates it from the back wall. 2 m height and 2 m length in the rest.
the wire mesh that completes the closure is 3 m high in the center and reaches 4 m the last two meters placed at the ends;
2. In the second variant, on the other hand, the wire mesh has a uniform height of 4 m throughout the field.
However, in the case of a canopy or indoor court, the required height is 7 m.
Padel Stadium Structure
The considerations to be taken when building pitches vary, but the structure of a padel field always includes some important elements that are present in every facility.
The standard structure of a padel court must include:
FLOOR: The playing field (floor) of a padel court to meet the criteria of hardness, speed and roughness to ensure a very good slip-bounce of the ball. Synthetic Lawn is preferred.
WALLS: These are usually prefabricated sections.
Again, hard glass installation is preferred, ensuring proper bounce, safety and external view
Fencing: The most important element of a stadium is the material that must be resistant to the weather conditions and pressures of the game.
Zinc or laminated nets are usually preferred to ensure maximum resistance over time.
LIGHTING: Probably the most important aspect should be designed to ensure coverage of the entire stadium but at the same time should not obstruct players. During construction, the materials used and their layout must be evaluated to determine the best solution.
Installing a padel court: how is it done?
First of all, it is necessary to start with this thought: it is not enough to create a space smaller than that of tennis, because you have to guarantee the speed of the game that this sport requires in every way.
And, in order to do that, the stadium must be properly designed and installed.
Therefore, there are a few steps to installing a durable and easy-to-use pitch.
Preparation for the installation of a Padel stadium
The first step we need to do is a study with a specialist surveyor, during which a technical and financial proposal will be made.
In the second step, after making sure that there are no imperfections or irregularities in the ground, a perimeter slab or retainer will be installed, according to the characteristics of the project.
The third step involves the construction and installation of the stadium along with the installation of additional projects such as lighting, equipment and irrigation systems.
The choice of lawn
The choice of turf should be made taking into account the rigidity, softness and speed that you want the pitch to have.
The best choice is the synthetic turf, ideal for optimizing all the dynamics of the game, as well as the maintenance and durability of the field itself.
Among the various types of synthetic turf produced by Italgreen, we recommend the following: 12 Padel Pro & 14 Padel

Additional work
Simultaneously with the placement of the lawn, we proceed to the installation of all additional projects, such as:
lighting designed to cover the entire court without blinding players
fencing, resistant to bad weather and game pressures
any paving, which depends on the type of field: fixed and equipped with permanent structures or indoors or outdoors
Fiberglass supports
We were the first in the world to patent special fiberglass constructions for Padel pitches which, unlike those made of iron:
They do not rust, they are resistant to salt corrosion, UV rays and fire. It is light.
