START WITH THE RIGHT DIMENSIONS
Playing space. Structure. Site.
Keep these three decisions separate when you define the equipment and the footprint around it.
Internal doubles playing area
20 × 10 mThe playing enclosure dimension. Add the structure, circulation and project-specific access space when planning the site.
Freestanding canopy footprint
22 × 12 mOverall footprint of the 22 × 12 m freestanding canopy. The internal padel playing area remains 20 × 10 m.
Configuration basis
Selected model + component scheduleFrame, glass, turf and equipment are coordinated for your selected model and site.
NINE COMPONENT GROUPS
A specification you can work with.
Explore materials, dimensions and assembly details for each part of the padel court. Our team brings the selected components together in your model drawings and equipment schedule.
Artificial turf & playing surface
The turf specification brings fibre, pile, backing and installation materials together with your preferred colour.
| Fibre material | PE — polyethylene |
|---|---|
| Turf options | CC / Upgrade / Match |
| Turf pile-height options | CC: 12 mm; Upgrade: 12 mm; Match: 10 mm |
| Declared density | CC: 52 500 / m²; Upgrade: 63 000 / m²; Match: 46 200 / m² |
| Yarn entry as supplied | CC: 9000D; Upgrade: 9500D; Match: 13500D |
| Gauge as listed | 3/16; unit to be confirmed |
| Available turf colours | Blue / Green / Brick-red |
| Backing | Confirm the backing for the selected turf option |
The gauge is listed as 3/16 without a unit. The yarn column is headed DTEX but its entries end in D. Confirm these two units in the order specification; the yarn entries are not turf weight per square metre.
All three options list the same stitch rate and gauge but different densities. The table preserves the declared values; confirm the complete construction specification with the selected sample before production.
Record the turf option, colour, roll layout, line markings and supplied area. Confirm backing, drainage compatibility, infill material and quantity, joining tape, adhesive and installation responsibilities in the quotation. These items are not specified by the comparison table and should not be assumed included.
Include in your order
- Turf product reference, sample and colour approval.
- Roll layout, joining tape, adhesive and specified infill scope.
Steel columns & beams
The frame establishes the court geometry and the interfaces for glass, mesh, entrances and lighting.
| Material / finish specification | Galvanized steel with a coated finish |
|---|---|
| Corner-post section | 100 × 100 × 3 mm |
| Column section | 100 × 50 × 3 mm |
| Column height | 3 m |
| Beam section | 100 × 50 × 3 mm |
Club, panoramic and open-corner padel courts use different frame arrangements. We manufacture posts, beams, base plates and glass supports to the selected model, coordinating connections and finish in the same drawing set.
The manufacturing record identifies steel profiles, wall thickness, surface preparation, protective coating and colour. The project design coordinates the frame and anchorage with the site loading and foundation requirements.
Include in your order
- Member schedule and drawing revision for the chosen court.
- Finish specification, colour reference and base-plate interfaces.
Framed mesh enclosure
Mesh panels complete the enclosure and need consistent framing, fixing positions and finish across the court.
| Material specification | Hot-dip galvanized fencing |
|---|---|
| Panel modules | 1 × 2 m or 1 × 4 m |
| Wire diameter | 4 mm |
| Mesh opening | 50 × 50 mm |
| Panel-frame section | 50 × 30 × 2 mm |
A panel drawing should show the frame, mesh orientation and attachment points, including the relationship to adjacent glass and entrance sections. Review welded edges and the finished contact surfaces as part of the fabrication scope.
Keep panel identification linked to the enclosure layout. This makes packing, installation and future replacement easier to coordinate than ordering by nominal panel width alone.
Include in your order
- Panel layout, entrance arrangement and connection details.
- Wire, opening, frame and finish recorded in the same schedule.
Transparent PC glass connection plates
A transparent connecting plate is a separate fitting. It must match the glass and supporting connection detail.
| Material | Reinforced PC — polycarbonate |
|---|---|
| Plate thickness | 6 mm |
| Function | Glass connection / restraint within the specified assembly |
| Component warranty | Five-year product quality warranty; contact PadelSpan after-sales with the component and order reference |
We match plate shape, hole positions, bolts and contact faces to the tempered-glass panel and supporting connection. The selected fitting is documented with the glazing drawing for installation and replacement.
Keep the plate identification, dimensions and care instructions with the order. The component warranty follows its written terms and the selected assembly.
Include in your order
- Plate drawing, compatible glass panel and fixing schedule.
LED lighting & pole interfaces
Specify the fixture and its mounting together, then coordinate power supply, aiming and maintenance access.
| Fixture specification | 200 W LED |
|---|---|
| Fixture ingress protection | IP65 |
| Pole height specification | 3 m |
| Z-type pole section | 100 × 50 × 3 mm |
| C-type pole section | 60 × 60 × 3 mm |
We coordinate fixture type, quantity, mounting positions and aiming with the intended playing visibility and venue layout. The lighting plan also accounts for glare, shadows, roof members and maintenance access.
IP65 and IP66 fixtures are available in the equipment range. The selected luminaire and electrical input are identified with the light-pole and site connection schedule.
Include in your order
- Fixture quantity and model, mounting schedule and electrical supply.
- Lighting layout and the applicable fixture documentation.
Tempered glass panels
Glass procurement starts with the complete panel schedule: thickness, dimensions, holes, edge details and supports.
| Material specification | Tempered glass |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 12 mm |
| Panel size option A | 1996 × 3000 mm |
| Panel size option B | 1990 × 3000 mm |
| Order basis | Selected panel drawing; the two listed sizes are not interchangeable |
Panel size, hole positions, edge treatment and supporting connections are specified together. The 1996 mm and 1990 mm widths belong to different arrangements; the selected drawing identifies the correct panel for production and replacement.
Glass panels are marked and packed in the installation sequence. Technical records identify the tested material and applicable report, while the packing plan protects edges and simplifies unloading.
Include in your order
- Panel dimensions, hole pattern, edge specification and fixing references.
- Applicable material documents and glass packing arrangement.
Internal & external beam connections
Connection position is a configuration choice that affects the visible frame and the assembly detail.
| Arrangements | Internal or external post-to-beam connection |
|---|---|
| Connection material specification | 304 stainless steel |
| Selection basis | Compatible court frame, connection drawing and fixing schedule |
Choose internal or external post-to-beam connections to suit the panoramic frame. Brackets, bolts and member positions are coordinated in the fabrication drawings to produce the selected appearance and assembly detail.
304 stainless steel applies to the specified connection fittings. Structural posts and beams retain their separately listed steel and protective-finish specifications.
Include in your order
- Connection option, bracket identification and compatible beam sections.
Centre-net post & fixing
The centre-net support belongs in the equipment schedule alongside the net, attachment and base fixing.
| Post height specification | 980 mm |
|---|---|
| Section specification | 100 × 50 × 3 mm |
| Colour options | White; final finish coordinated with the selected court |
| Dimension meaning | 980 mm describes the component, not the net height at the centre of play |
Review the post, net attachment and tensioning detail as an assembly. Include the base-plate position and any protective padding in the installation information.
The photograph illustrates a green finish option. For procurement, the final colour and mounting detail should appear in the same equipment record as the court frame and net.
Include in your order
- Post and net references, mounting position, tensioning and finish.
PVDF roof membrane
PVDF membrane, frame connections, tensioning and drainage are coordinated for the selected padel roof.
| Material specification | PVDF-coated roof membrane |

DEFINE THE COMPLETE PACKAGE
Specification questions, answered.
How do you select the components for a padel court?
We start with the court model and site requirements, then coordinate frame sections, glass panels, mesh, turf, lighting and fittings. Your quotation and drawings identify each selected component and its quantity.
Why are there two glass panel sizes?
We offer 1996 × 3000 mm and 1990 × 3000 mm panels for different frame arrangements. Each order uses a panel drawing with the selected size, hole pattern and supporting details.
What should I send for a detailed quotation?
Send the court family, quantity, destination, site layout and indoor/outdoor setting. Add preferred turf, frame colour, lighting, canopy and branding requirements. Include any local design requirements or existing drawings so the equipment scope can be coordinated.
Can the same specification be used for repeat orders?
Use the approved component schedule, drawings, finish references and artwork as the starting record. Identify any material or component changes before repeating an order, especially where replacement compatibility or consistent appearance matters.
