Cost of a padel court
Padel is a sport that is constantly growing. It can now be enjoyed in most countries around the world. We are sure that every fan has at some point wondered how much it would cost to build a padel court or club.
It is indeed a business that requires an initial investment that depends on several factors such as the number of courts, materials, type of court… Although this initial investment is not as expensive as building a tennis court or a football field. It also requires less maintenance than a tennis court.
Factors to consider when building a padel court
Type of court (indoor vs outdoor)
Indoor courts tend to be more expensive due to the need for an additional structure to cover and protect them from weather conditions.
On the other hand, outdoor courts, although potentially less costly initially, require materials and treatments that make them weather-resistant, which can also increase their cost.
Materials used in construction
For example, the type of artificial turf, the quality of the glass for the walls, and the base materials (such as concrete or asphalt) vary in price.
Choosing high-quality materials can increase durability and reduce maintenance costs in the long term, but it will also raise the initial construction cost.
Equipment and necessary accessories
These include the net, posts, lighting systems, benches, wall protections, and other additional elements.
Cost breakdown by component
Land and ground preparation
This includes leveling and compacting the ground, and in some cases, building a concrete foundation. This process can cost between €5,000 and €10,000, depending on the initial condition of the land and specific project requirements.
Structure and enclosure
The structure and enclosure of the court, which usually include glass walls or metal mesh, are essential components that affect both the functionality and safety of the court. The costs of these elements can vary between €10,000 and €20,000, depending on the materials and design chosen.
Lighting
A good lighting system is essential to allow use of the court at night. The cost of lighting can range between €2,000 and €5,000, depending on the number and quality of lights installed.
Flooring and coverings
The court floor, which is usually artificial turf, is one of the most expensive components. The cost of artificial turf can range between €8,000 and €15,000, depending on the quality and type of turf selected.
Net and posts
The net and posts are essential but relatively inexpensive compared to other components. Costs can vary between €500 and €1,000.
Other expenses (licenses, permits, etc.)
In addition to construction costs, it is important to consider other expenses such as building licenses, municipal permits, and other administrative costs. These can add up to between €1,000 and €3,000.
