From idea to handover
Installing a padel court,handled from A to Z
Installing a padel court takes experience and precision. We take care of the whole process: advice and design, foundation and permit, production in our own factory, delivery and installation. Indoor or outdoor, we advise you on location, lighting and finishing.
- Price indication within 2 working days
- Everything from our own factory
- 15-year warranty on the steel structure
The groundwork
First the location, then the court
A stable base is essential. That is why we first check whether the existing ground is suitable. If it is not, we advise on the right build-up: from a sand bed to a water-permeable concrete layer or a ring foundation.
The permit is also part of this phase. We draw the court onto your site and advise you on the permit at your municipality and on noise towards the neighbours, so nothing surprises you later.
That way you know exactly what is needed under and around the court before production starts.
- Sand bed, water-permeable concrete or ring foundation
- Soil survey first, then foundation advice
- Help with the permit and noise
How we work
From request to handover in five steps
Five steps, one point of contact. You know in advance what happens and how long each step takes.
- No-obligation first conversation and price indication
- Production to European standards
- Handover report and maintenance briefing
Within 2 working daysIntroduction and price indication
You fill in the form or call us. In a personal conversation we discuss what you have in mind: indoor or outdoor, how many courts and where. We map out the location and within 2 working days you have a price indication, with no obligation.
2 to 3 weeksSite survey, design and permit
We survey the ground and advise on the foundation. Once the location and specifications are set, we make the design and help you with the permit.
8 to 10 weeksIn-house production
We make the steel structure, glass and fixings in our own factory, to European standards. That keeps lines short and quality consistent, with a 15-year warranty on the steel structure.
2 days per courtDelivery and installation
After production we plan the delivery together. Our experienced installation team fits the steel structure, the glass, the artificial turf and the LED lighting: 2 days per court.
After installationHandover and maintenance
We inspect the court together with you. You receive a handover report and an explanation of the maintenance, so your courts last for years, technically and visually.
