Padel court factory release: documents and decisions

Before releasing affected components for fabrication, check that the ordered model, supplier drawings and local site-design decisions agree. Record who resolves each interface and which revisions apply. Track production, dispatch, installation and venue opening separately.

Keep model information separate from site design

The release pack records which components can enter fabrication, which documents apply and who authorises the work. The register below is PadelSpan's editorial proposal, not a prescribed federation form.

The LTA's UK guidance, in its 2025 file edition, refers to site-specific foundations. In France, FFT Nouvelle-Aquitaine calls for a soil study and structural sizing that accounts for the local wind zone and terrain roughness. Padel Australia / SportEng's general Australian guide identifies project roles and treats supplier designs as starting points, with detailed drawings and engineering sign-off as separate stages. The publication dates of the French and Australian sources are unknown. Each example retains its regional scope.

Define the contract scope and schedule

Padel Craft's UK price guide, observed on 10 November 2026, includes delivery, unloading and installation, with roofing and groundworks presented separately. Its installed package is not equivalent to a China FOB offer and is not a PadelSpan service promise. Use the quote scope guide to clarify responsibilities.

PadelSpan's supply scope, confirmed by its owner on 8 November 2026, allows an order for one customised court. Production typically takes 20 to 30 days, depending on quantity and customisation; transport and site installation are separate. PadelSpan also offers a 4 × 400 W lighting option. Wattage alone does not establish whether it meets the project's lighting requirements.

State whether the contract covers supply only or includes installation. Track production readiness, any dispatch from stock, transport, installation and venue opening as separate milestones. The production window does not determine the opening date.

Record documents, owners and hold points

For the selected Standard or Super Panoramic model, record each document's ID, revision/date, owner, decision and hold point. Agree in the contract who can authorise release; the responsibilities below are proposed.

Record documents, owners and hold points

Example: the interface drawing changes

In this hypothetical example, supplier interface drawing B replaces A after the site designer has prepared foundation drawing 1. Put the affected fabrication on hold. The supplier identifies the change, and the site designer revises drawing 1 or records why it remains compatible. The installer checks the consequences for assembly. The named release coordinator records the reconciled revisions and the resolution of the relevant decisions before lifting the hold.

Release the reconciled document set

Use the foundation and drainage guide and installation structures guide for those tasks in detail. Send PadelSpan the register, current drawings and selected customisations with your RFQ or order clarification.

  • Check that the order, selected package and current model drawing agree.
  • Name the owner of each decision and keep unresolved fabrication dependencies on hold.
  • Record the authorised release scope and date separately from later milestones.
