The service

What does padel court construction include?

Complete padel court construction covers the site survey and design, a level concrete base with drainage, the steel structure, toughened glass walls and mesh panels, artificial padel turf, the net and posts, LED lighting and, where needed, a shade canopy, followed by handover and ongoing maintenance.

We build padel courts for private villas, residential communities, hotels and resorts, schools, sports clubs and dedicated padel venues. One team manages the project, so the base, structure and finishes are planned together and the court plays consistently from day one.

Site survey & design

We check the plot, levels, access and orientation, then propose the court type, layout and lighting.

Base & drainage

A level reinforced concrete slab with a gentle drainage fall, ready for the structure and turf.

Structure, glass & mesh

Powder-coated steel frame, toughened safety glass walls and welded mesh panels installed to padel dimensions.

Padel turf

Sand-filled artificial grass made for padel, for consistent bounce, grip and drainage in UAE conditions.

Lighting & canopies

LED floodlights for evening play and shade structures that make outdoor courts usable through the summer.

Maintenance

Turf brushing and sand top-ups, glass and frame checks, net and lighting servicing to keep the court in top condition.

Court types

Which type of padel court should you build?

Choose a panoramic court for the best viewing and a premium look, a standard court with structural posts for a lower budget, and an indoor or covered court if you want year-round play in the UAE heat. Clubs and hotels usually choose panoramic courts; villas often choose standard or panoramic outdoor courts with a canopy.

How it works

How does padel court construction work, step by step?

Padel court construction follows six steps: consultation and site survey, design and approvals, the concrete base, the steel structure with glass and mesh, turf and lighting installation, and final inspection with handover. Smaller private courts move fastest; clubs with several courts are planned in phases.

  1. Consultation & site survey

    Share your location, plot size and photos on WhatsApp; we confirm the court type, access and levels.

  2. Design & approvals

    We prepare the layout and specifications, and you apply for any community, developer or authority approvals your site needs.

  3. Base works

    A level reinforced concrete slab with drainage is poured and left to cure before installation.

  4. Structure, glass & mesh

    The steel frame is fixed, then the toughened glass walls, mesh panels and access doors are installed.

  5. Turf, net & lighting

    Padel turf is laid and sand-filled, the net is installed and the LED lighting is aimed and tested.

  6. Inspection & handover

    We check every panel, line and light, then hand over the court with care and maintenance guidance.

Budget guide

How much does padel court construction cost in the UAE?

Padel court construction in the UAE typically costs about AED 100,000–200,000 per court for a quality outdoor build, depending on the court type, base works and lighting. Panoramic glass, shade canopies, indoor buildings and multi-court clubs add to the budget, while repeat courts on one site lower the cost per court.

Specifications

What size is a padel court, and how much space do you need?

A padel court's playing area is 20 m long and 10 m wide, enclosed by walls. Back walls are about 4 m high (3 m of glass topped by 1 m of mesh). For padel court construction, plan roughly 11 × 21 m of level ground, and for indoor courts allow generous clear height above the court.

  • Playing area: 20 × 10 m, as defined in the FIP Rules of Padel.
  • Walls: toughened safety glass at the back and sides, with steel mesh above and along the side ends.
  • Surface: sand-filled padel turf on a level slab with a slight fall for drainage.
  • Clear height: FIP guidance has long recommended about 8 m above indoor courts for lobs.
  • Orientation: outdoor courts are best laid north–south to reduce glare at sunrise and sunset.

Maintenance

How do you maintain a padel court in the UAE?

Padel court maintenance in the UAE means brushing the turf regularly and topping up the sand, removing dust and leaves, cleaning the glass, checking bolts, doors and mesh, and servicing the lighting. Sun, sand and heat make regular care essential to keep play consistent and the court safe.

Turf care

Brushing keeps the sand evenly spread and the pile upright, so the ball bounces true and players keep their grip.

Glass & structure

Cleaning the glass and checking fixings, doors and mesh tension keeps the court safe and looking new.

Lighting & net

We check and re-aim LED lights and replace worn nets so evening play stays bright and fair.

FAQ

Padel court construction: frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to build a padel court in Dubai?

A quality outdoor padel court in Dubai typically costs about AED 100,000–200,000, depending on whether it is a standard or panoramic court, the base works and the lighting. Canopies, indoor buildings and multi-court clubs add to the budget. We confirm the price after a site survey.

What are the dimensions of a padel court?

The playing area is 20 m long and 10 m wide, enclosed by glass and mesh walls. Back walls are about 4 m high. Plan roughly 11 × 21 m of level ground for the structure and access.

Can I build a padel court in my villa?

Yes, if your plot has enough level space for the court and access, and your community or developer approves it. We check the site, recommend the court type and prepare the layout you need for approvals.

What is the difference between a panoramic and a standard padel court?

A panoramic court has frameless glass side walls without posts along the sides, giving clear views and a premium look. A standard court uses structural posts along the sides and costs less.

Do you build indoor and covered padel courts?

Yes. We build courts inside suitable buildings and outdoor courts with shade canopies, so you can play comfortably through the UAE summer.

Do I need approval to build a padel court?

Private villa courts usually need community or developer approval. Commercial padel clubs and venues need trade licensing and sports approvals, including the Dubai Sports Council in Dubai. Check the requirements for your exact location before construction starts.

Do you offer padel court maintenance?

Yes. We maintain padel courts across the UAE, including turf brushing and sand top-ups, glass and structure checks, net replacement and lighting servicing. Ask us for a maintenance plan for your court.
