Complete Answer
The best material for padel court fences is hot-dip galvanized steel with polyester powder coating. This combination provides 20+ year lifespan even in coastal or humid environments. XTZ Padel’s Pro Fence System uses 4mm hot-dip galvanized wire (galvanization thickness ≥ 80 microns) with a marine-grade polyester powder coat (RAL color options). For coastal areas (within 5km of saltwater), we recommend upgrading to marine-grade galvanization (≥ 120 microns) which extends lifespan by 30%. Avoid electro-galvanized fences—they look similar but have only 1/3 the lifespan (5-7 years vs 20+ years). The extra €2,000-€3,000 per court for hot-dip is a strong investment for any commercial padel facility.
Key Points
- Best: hot-dip galvanized steel + polyester powder coat
- Lifespan: 20+ years in normal environments
- Coastal areas: upgrade to marine-grade galvanization (≥120 microns)
- Avoid: electro-galvanized (only 5-7 year lifespan)
