Padel has become a rapidly spreading sport around the world in recent years, combining the best features of tennis and squash. But building a padel court is much more than just creating a playing area; It is a complex engineering process that meets safety, durability and game quality standards.
The first step in padel court construction is determining the correct location and ground survey. The external dimensions of a standard padel court are $20\times 10$ meters. However, for a safe movement area and landscaping, an area of at least $22 \times 12$ meters is generally recommended.
Soil Analysis: The soil's carrying capacity and water drainage are checked.
Permissions: The process of obtaining the necessary legal permissions from local governments for the construction of sports facilities is completed.
The longevity of the court depends on the strength of the foundation.
Concrete Floor: A steel mesh reinforced concrete layer, usually $15 - 20 \text{ cm}$ thick, is poured. It is critical for the quality of play that the ground be perfectly flat (laser leveling).
Drainage: In open-air courts, a very slight slope is generally given to the ground between $\%0.5$ and $\%1$ to drain rainwater, or permeable concrete systems are used.
The biggest feature that distinguishes the padel court from classical tennis courts is the metal and glass structure system surrounding the playing area.
Profile Structure: Rust-resistant, electrostatic oven-painted steel profiles are used.
Fence Panels: High-strength wire mesh panels are installed on the sides of the court, which do not slow down the ball but keep the player inside.
The most characteristic part of the padel game are the glass walls that allow the ball to bounce back.
Tempered Glass: Generally, tempered glass with a thickness of $10 \text{ mm}$ or $12 \text{ mm}$, which is extremely resistant to impacts, is used.
Mounting Precision: The glasses are fixed to the metal structure with special neoprene gaskets and screws. It is vital that glass and metal do not come into direct contact to absorb vibration and prevent breakage.
The playing surface is the most important factor for the athletes' joint health and ball bounce.
Grass Type: Polyethylene artificial grass carpets produced specifically for padel, usually with a pile height of $10 \text{ mm} - 12 \text{ mm}$, are laid.
Silica Sand: Approximately $8 - 10 \text{ kg}$ of special baked silica sand per square meter is applied to keep the grass fibers upright and to enable the players to make controlled sliding movements.
Professional lighting is essential for the game to be played at all hours.
LED Projectors: A homogeneous light distribution is provided by $4$ or $8$ $200\text{W}$ LED projectors, which are usually placed in the corners of the court.
Net System: The court is brought to the playing stage by installing the net and the middle tension band in accordance with Padel standards.
Padel court construction requires compliance with the standards set by international federations (FIP). The use of quality materials and meticulous workmanship not only increases the gaming pleasure, but also extends the life of the investment by reducing the maintenance costs of the facility.
