Technical requirements for padel court installation

The installation of a durable padel court requires careful consideration of both the metal structure and the underlying support surface.

A robust metal frame is essential to maintain the stability of glass walls, mesh, and lighting systems. Steel is the preferred material due to its mechanical strength and rigidity, though its longevity depends on profile thickness and anti-corrosion treatments, especially in outdoor environments subject to wind and humidity.

Regarding the foundation, while a new concrete slab is a standard solution for providing a homogeneous base, it is not always mandatory. Existing surfaces, such as old tennis courts or sports platforms, can be repurposed if they meet specific technical criteria. Key factors for reusing a surface include flatness, the absence of structural cracks, mechanical resistance, and adequate drainage. If an existing slab is damaged, repairs or leveling may be required to ensure the long-term stability of the padel installation.
