Counted end to end, that is roughly two to three months from purchase order to first serve \u2014 and every one of those numbers is a working assumption our quotes are built on.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/xtzpadel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/xtz-padel-court-blue-frame-standard-2026-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"XTZ padel court with blue frame on a standard outdoor site\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2>What sits outside the factory timeline<\/h2>\n<p>The blocks that stretch projects are rarely ours. Site preparation \u2014 foundation, drainage, access \u2014 runs on the venue&#8217;s contractors. Permits run on the municipality. Internal approvals run on committee calendars. Buyers who line those up while the court is on the water arrive at installation day with a prepared site; buyers who start them after the container lands watch the court sit in storage. Our turnkey guide to <a href=\"\/es\/padel-court-installation-turnkey\/\">padel court installation<\/a> lays out which responsibilities sit on which side of the fence.<\/p>\n<h2>Why early Q4 is the comfortable window<\/h2>\n<p>Order in early October and a court lands at the venue in early winter \u2014 assembly crews are available, venues have schedule gaps, and the court is match-ready before the first warm-weather booking surge. Order later, and each week removed from the runway is taken from the venue&#8217;s slack, not the factory&#8217;s. For clubs still comparing configurations, the decision usually comes down to framed versus full-glass versus roofed \u2014 the same comparison our team walks through in every quotation, and one you can pre-empt with our guide on <a href=\"\/es\/how-to-choose-the-right-padel-court\/\">choosing the right court for your venue<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The window is open now.
