Padel court installation and design - Everything you need to know about
Padel is a rapidly growing discipline and gains new fans every day. Investing in the construction and opening of a padel court, therefore, can be a good choice, but different aspects must be taken into consideration to do it in the appropriate way and to be sure of creating a truly valid project that complies with regulations.
Padel, a rapidly growing discipline
According to an analysis published by Mr Padel Paddle, in 2021 both padel fans and courts have grown in Italy: in comparison to the previous year, indeed, the number of the clubs dedicated to padel increased by 50% (reaching a total of 800 fields), while courts have increased by 60% (for a total of 1.750). An interesting fact also concerns the bookings of the fields, which in 2020 increased seven times compared to 2018. In the beginning the padel phenomenon was mainly limited to some areas and regions of Italy (Lazio in the first place), but now this new discipline is gaining ground all over Italy, from Lombardy to Sicily.
FIT indications and bureaucratic process that padel court manufacturers have to follow
How to open a padel court in Italy? To do this properly, it is necessary to consider both the structural and bureaucratic constraints, as well as the quality of the components and the professionalism of the experts you rely on. To begin with, to build a padel court you must interface with the technical office of your Municipality to gain the necessary authorizations, then it is better to rely on trained specialists and professional companies for the construction of courts that guarantee full safety to both users and managers. Padel courts, as well as tensile structures, must comply with very specific regulations (concerning both the ability to withstand snow, wind and earthquake loads, and the quality of the materials used): everything must be done in a certain way to ensure that sporting activities are carried out in an easy way and, more importantly, the safety of people.
Moreover, it is necessary to go through a certain bureaucratic process that follows the appropriate feasibility analyzes and that leads to the actual design of the field, which must obviously be done by a professional that can manage city planning issues. Once this is done, if everything is in order, you can obtain the building permit.
Padel court construction: what else do you need?
Besides the regulations and bureaucratic issues to respect, when you build a padel court it is necessary to pay special attention also to the materials you choose: turfs, metal structures, crystals and the tensile structure to cover the field.
The construction and opening of a padel court are complex activities that include different phases and elements you must pay attention to.
