Should we continue to build padel panoramic views in risky areas? What is a risk zone? What is the difference between a classic pitch and a panoramic pitch? Should we build a land of padel outdoor as if we were building a padel indoors?

We will try to answer these questions that are currently debated with the storms that France has suffered in recent months.

Classical Lands Vs Panoramic Lands

Contrary to what one might think, there are many differences in land in the making and construction of padel between the different manufacturers.

It is obvious for example that the more land will be heavy, with steel, and the more the land will be expensive, but also strong and ready to face some outdoor conditions.

Visually, we often prefer a lot with the least steel possible. But beware, what we prefer aesthetically is not necessarily a guarantee of safety and even more outdoor.

The problem of panoramic terrain, even if there too, there are several ways of conceiving these padel panoramic, is that there are no longer these posts that hold these large windows (10 meters). The lift in the wind is however the same and with the wind, the power of the lift can be increased tenfold.

The builders add a metal bar on the 10 meters of bay windows at the bottom. "bonds"Are also added between the ice themselves and a strengthening can be done at the large posts at the ends of the field. Normally, when the builder is serious and the customer is serious (understanding that a low price will affect security), it is supposed to do so. However, in France there are areas at risk (see the chapter on the Eurocode standard).

The ice can also break on a classic terrain with its poles, because there are also different ice ... Not to be confused with the solidity of the structure in its entirety.

The Eurocode standard: a good help

This obviously does not only concern the padel, but there are already standards that can help us better design a padel outdoors, or at least to provide what is necessary to avoid ice that explodes under the effect of storms and strong gales.

The Eurocode standard at padel, It's used for ?

Remember, quality comes at a price. If you see big differences, it's because there's a rock eel. It is better to play the medium and long term than the short term.
