A successful padel court project begins before manufacturing. Site conditions, civil works, logistics and installation responsibilities should be confirmed early so the court package arrives when the venue is ready. This checklist helps project owners organize the essential information.
1. Confirm the site layout
Record the available length, width and height, including access paths and safety clearance outside the playing enclosure. For indoor projects, check columns, beams, fire systems and ceiling obstacles. For multi-court venues, plan player circulation, seating and maintenance routes.
2. Review local conditions
- Design wind speed and exposure category
- Rainfall, drainage direction and flood risk
- Temperature range, humidity and coastal corrosion
- Indoor or outdoor installation environment
- Applicable local permits and structural requirements
These factors may influence the steel specification, finish, anchoring, canopy concept and maintenance plan.
3. Coordinate foundations and drainage
The supporting slab or foundations must be level, dimensionally accurate and suitable for the anchoring system. Drainage should move water away from the playing area without creating low points. Civil drawings and allowable tolerances should be agreed before concrete work begins.
4. Plan lighting and electrical work
Confirm the desired lighting level, pole arrangement, cable routes, switching and local electrical standards. Lighting positions should avoid glare and should be coordinated with the enclosure and any roof structure.
5. Prepare shipping and unloading
International projects should confirm the delivery address, container access, unloading equipment and secure storage area. Clearly labeled packing helps installation teams identify glass, steel, turf, lighting and accessories in the correct sequence.
6. Define installation responsibilities
Before shipment, identify who provides civil works, lifting equipment, installers, supervision, electrical connection and final inspection. A shared schedule should include foundation completion, delivery, installation, turf work, testing and handover.
7. Complete the final pre-production review
- Approved court model and quantity
- Confirmed colors, branding and turf
- Final site and foundation drawings
- Lighting and accessory schedule
- Packing marks and shipping documents
- Installation plan and target opening date
Early coordination costs less than changes made after production or delivery.
Build the project around verified information
XTZ Padel supports court configuration, manufacturing, packing documentation and installation coordination. Send our team your site plan, location, court quantity and schedule to begin a structured project review.
What site preparation is needed before a padel court is delivered?
A level concrete or asphalt foundation with proper drainage, sized to the court footprint plus clearance.
How long does padel court installation take?
Usually 1-2 weeks after the foundation is ready, depending on weather and crew size.
Does XTZ provide installation support?
Yes. Drawings, structural calculations, installation guidance and on-site coordination for international projects.
What utilities does a padel court need?
Power for lighting and, optionally, water for court cleaning; most clubs also add fencing and access gates.
What should be checked at handover?
Verify levelness, net tension, glass safety, turf seams and lighting coverage against the project checklist.
