Space, orientation, glass, lighting and turf — a quick guide to planning a padel court for a club, compound or villa.
Padel has grown fast, and a court is now a sought-after addition to clubs, compounds and even private villas. Before you start, review these points:
Space
A standard court measures 20 × 10 metres; leave extra room around it for circulation and access.
Orientation
Running the court north–south reduces sun glare for players in the morning and evening.
Frame and glass
A galvanised, powder-coated steel frame resists corrosion, and tempered glass of the right thickness keeps play safe and the bounce true.
Turf
Padel turf differs from football turf: it is shorter and designed for ball bounce and quick footwork.
Lighting
Choose LED floodlights positioned to avoid glare and give even light for evening games.
