Padel centre planner

Enter your hall, plot or tennis courts and see, to scale, how many padel courts fit.

Your site

Example values: a 45 × 36 m hall. Enter your own measurements.

Start from:

The clear height under beams and lights over the whole court. Pitched roof? The LTA asks for at least 6 m at the low side and 8 m at the ridge or over the net. Leave it empty if you don't know it yet.

Double courts you want

The smallest layouts for your choices. Room for reception and a lounge comes on top.

How will it be used?

The main court for key matches and events, with room for out-of-court play, as the Dutch federation (KNLTB) recommends.

Your site and plans

Optional. Keeps this part of the length free of courts.

Assumptions you can change

Default 1.2 m, the clear corridor in the SAPCA code of practice. No international rule sets it, so match it to your plans.

Default 0.7 m clear between the enclosures: the LTA's 1.5 m between the playing areas. The Dutch federation (KNLTB) asks for at least 2 m at club level and advises 4 m. Competition mode always keeps 6 m for the out-of-court areas.

Checked against the rules

  • MeetsThe courts fit with their enclosure edge (0.4 m), the gaps between courts and your walkways.
  • TipTwo blocks of courts, one turned 90° to the other, fit more here than one grid facing the same way.
  • TipAdd the free height: the FIP requires at least 6 m over the whole court and suggests 8 m for new halls.
3 planning tips
  • TipNo room for out-of-court play. That is fine for club play; competitions need clear areas beside the court openings.
  • TipLighting: plan at least 300 lux on average with 0.5 uniformity, the LTA's level for recreational and regional play. The Dutch federation advises 300 lux outdoors and 500 lux indoors even for training.
  • TipHomes within about 50 m? In the UK the LTA expects noise and light surveys before planning. Our guide to building a court explains the rules in Denmark and Germany.

Typical timeline: installation takes two to three weeks on site, and a complete project with foundations, permits and site preparation usually takes six to ten weeks.

Opens the quote form with what the plan can fill in: the site type, the court count and, when one model fits, the model.

An estimate from the published rules (FIP, LTA, SAPCA and KNLTB), not a drawing for a building permit. The planner tries one grid of courts, or two blocks turned to each other; columns, entrances and facilities such as reception and changing rooms are only counted if you reserve room for them. We confirm the real layout in the technical consultation.

We store nothing you enter: your layout lives in the page address, so you can bookmark or share it.
