Padel business
Start a padel club
For sports clubs, investors, hotels and municipalities: what a padel venue needs, and how we take you from the first idea to opening day.
Why padel
Padel is social, quick to learn and efficient with space, which is why venues of every kind are adding courts.
Social and easy to learn
Padel combines the tactics of tennis with the wall play of squash. The barrier to entry is low, so players of all ages and levels can enjoy it together.
Space-efficient
A tennis court plot fits a double and a single padel court, and three double courts if it is at least 20.8 m wide.
Playable all year
Indoor courts keep play going whatever the weather, with climate control as an option.
More than court hire
A padel venue can also earn from coaching, tournaments and leagues, food and drink, corporate events, equipment sales and memberships.
Built for many kinds of venues
Padel works wherever there is space and people who want to play.
Sports facilities
Tennis clubs, racket centres, golf clubs and multi-sport complexes adding padel to attract new members.
Property developers
Padel as an amenity in residential and mixed-use projects, or in converted warehouses.
Fitness and leisure
Gyms, health clubs and family entertainment centres adding a social sport.
Hotels and resorts
Hotels, holiday parks and resorts offering guests a memorable activity.
Municipalities
Councils and public bodies upgrading recreation facilities for the community.
Companies and institutions
Business parks, company campuses and universities investing in sport for staff and students.
What a padel venue needs
The essentials to plan for. We go through each one for your site in the technical consultation.
- Space
- A double court measures 20 × 10 m; a single court needs 120 m². A standard tennis court plot fits one of each, and three double courts if it is at least 20.8 m wide.
- Ground and foundation
- We provide the foundation specifications for your site as part of the project. Panoramic Indoor has a self-supporting, self-levelling structure for sites without a traditional concrete floor.
- Outdoor sites
- Outdoor courts are rated for wind speeds of up to 36 m/s, depending on the model. For coastal sites, PLUS versions in hot-dip galvanised steel add corrosion protection.
- Lighting
- LED lighting can be mounted on the court structure or, indoors, in the ceiling, as at Vejle Padelcenter.
- Permits
- Requirements depend on the location and on private or commercial use. In Denmark and Germany, commercial courts typically need a building permit and must meet local zoning rules. We supply the technical documentation and liaise with the authorities.
- Delivery and access
- Our installers need about 60 cm behind each court, a gate wide enough for the materials, and room for the truck to park and unload by crane. We check this with you before delivery.
Indoor ceiling height and the exact foundation depend on the court model and your site; we confirm both with you before production.
The path to opening day
Installation typically takes two to three weeks on site. Including foundations, permits and site preparation, a complete project usually takes six to ten weeks.
