What is Padel and How is it Played?

Padel was invented in Mexico in 1969 by Enrique Corcuera. It can basically be described as a perfect combination of tennis and squash. Usually played in doubles (with four players), this fun sport uses a special perforated, short-handled padel racket and balls similar to tennis balls.

Padel courts measure 10x20 meters and are surrounded by glass and metal fences. The most crucial and strategic point of the game is that players can actively use these walls as part of the playing area.

Artificial Turf Selection for Padel Court Surfaces

The surface material used in padel courts plays a vital role in game quality, ball bounce standards, and aesthetics. The most preferred colors on courts are blue (the most popular globally), green (natural look), and red.

The high-quality artificial turf surfaces we use maximize player performance with their structure that prevents slipping and allows fast movement, while minimizing the risk of possible injuries with their shock-absorbing flexible structure.

Step-by-Step Padel Court Construction and Stages

Building a flawless, long-lasting padel court construction compliant with standards consists of specific professional stages:

1. Ground Preparation: The area where the court will be built is meticulously excavated and leveled, and an advanced drainage system is installed to prevent water accumulation.

2. Concrete Pouring: A smooth and high-strength concrete floor layer is created to ensure the court is long-lasting and perfectly leveled.

3. Metal Construction Assembly: The steel structure that forms the main skeleton and security of the court is assembled and fixed.

4. Installation of Glass and Metal Fences: Tempered glass and fence panels that offer maximum resistance to high-speed impacts are installed.

5. Artificial Turf Installation: The floor is covered with premium turf to maximize player comfort and achieve the correct ball bounce quality.

6. Lighting and Equipment Installation: LED lighting that prevents shadow formation during night games, professional nets, posts, and other game accessories are installed.

Standard Padel Court Dimensions

Padel courts must have exact dimensions according to international rules for a fair gaming experience:

• Full Court (For Doubles): 10 meters wide x 20 meters long.
