Key Takeaways
– A court ordered in early October typically completes delivery and assembly within roughly two to three months.
– The timeline splits into 20–30 days manufacturing, 25–45 days ocean freight and 3–7 days assembly.
– Early Q4 is the last comfortable ordering window for projects that must stand before the new season starts.
As the Golden Week draws to a close, the question our sales team hears most is a simple one: “If we order now, when can we be playing?” It deserves a straight answer, because the honest math decides whether a club’s season-opening date is realistic — or wishful.
The honest delivery math
From a confirmed order, a court passes through three blocks of time: 20–30 days of manufacturing at our workshop, 25–45 days of ocean freight to European ports, and 3–7 days of assembly on site. Counted end to end, that is roughly two to three months from purchase order to first serve — and every one of those numbers is a working assumption our quotes are built on.
What sits outside the factory timeline
The blocks that stretch projects are rarely ours. Site preparation — foundation, drainage, access — runs on the venue’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 padel court installation lays out which responsibilities sit on which side of the fence.
Why early Q4 is the comfortable window
Order in early October and a court lands at the venue in early winter — 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’s slack, not the factory’s. For clubs still comparing configurations, the decision usually comes down to framed versus full-glass versus roofed — the same comparison our team walks through in every quotation, and one you can pre-empt with our guide on choosing the right court for your venue.
The window is open now. Send your site plan and target opening date through the request a quote page, and the XTZ Padel team will map the full timeline backwards from the day you want players on the court.
