But how to build a track of padel ? This complex task requires some expertise.

The track must be designed and installed by professionals.

Create one or more tracks of padel uses 4 trades different and highly specialized.

Here are the mandatory steps in the installation of a tennis court padel durable and easy to maintain.

Step 1 – Earthworks / VRD

After an inventory with topographic survey, the first step consists in creating draining or porous slabs in accordance with the particularities of the project, with installation of drains, manholes, lighting sheaths, pouring of stringers, implementation of a layer drainage in pebbles, and realization of a porous concrete or a porous asphalt.

Step 2 – Locksmithing / Installation of the structure

After having checked and received the stringers, the laying of the structure can start with the laying of the corner posts, the intermediate posts, followed by the welded mesh grids, then finally the laying of the glasses (10 or 12mm depending on whether whether it is a classic or panoramic track). The last step is the installation of the masts to receive the projectors.

Step 3 – Synthetic grass

Choosing a synthetic turf in the installation of a track padel, is to ensure that the coating is easy to maintain and in perfect condition all year round. Synthetic turf offers great playing comfort by optimizing rebound and ball trajectories.

You should also know that the sand on the surface is an asset for the tennis court. padel : it makes the game faster, it allows the balls to fuse and bounce well and allows players to slide without risk.

The sand prevents the accumulation of moisture on the surface and helps ensure its durability.

Contrary to popular belief, synthetic turf without sand does not exist !

All turf manufacturers require the turf to be sanded in their warranty: approximately two to three tons of sanding per lane padel, and for those who would still be bothered by the yellow/white color of the sand, there are colored sands in the color of the grass!

We will then talk about synthetic turf with or without sand apparent.

Step 4 – Lighting

Just as important as the elements mentioned above, the lighting is the final touch that will sublimate the whole. The minimum illuminance level to comply with the FFT standard is 300 lux with a uniformity coefficient of 0.7. We will therefore most often use LED projectors of at least 200 w, distributed in such a way as to obtain the best uniformity by avoiding weak zones. For floodlights, an overhang of 20 cm is authorized above 6 meters. Control of this illumination is done according to the 13-point method of the French Tennis Federation.

The entire installation will be connected to one or more control cabinets, with or without programming.
