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 thought about how much it would cost to set up a paddle tennis court or club.
It really is a business that requires an initial investment that will depend on several factors such as the number of courts, equipment, type of court… Although this initial investment would not be as expensive as setting up a tennis court or a football pitch. It also requires less maintenance than a tennis court.
Factors to take into account when setting up a padel court
Type of track (indoor vs. outdoor)
Indoor courts are usually more expensive due to the need for an additional structure to cover them and protect them from weather conditions.
On the other hand, outdoor courts, although they may be less expensive initially, need materials and treatments to make them weather resistant, which can also increase their cost.
Materials used in construction
For example, the type of artificial turf, the quality of 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 long-term maintenance costs, but will also increase the initial cost of construction.
Necessary equipment and accessories
These include the netting, poles, lighting systems, benches, wall protections, and other additional elements.
Cost breakdown by component
Land and soil preparation
This includes levelling and compacting the soil, and in some cases, the construction of a concrete base. This process can cost between 5,000 and 10,000 euros, depending on the initial state of the land and the specific requirements of the project.
Structure and enclosure
The structure and enclosure of the court, which generally include glass or wire mesh walls, are essential components that affect both the functionality and safety of the rink. The costs of these elements can vary between 10,000 and 20,000 euros, depending on the materials and design chosen.
Lighting
A good lighting system is essential to allow the track to be used at night. The cost of lighting can vary between 2,000 and 5,000 euros, depending on the quantity and quality of the lights installed.
Floor and wall coverings
The court floor, which is usually made of artificial turf, is one of the most expensive components. The cost of artificial turf can range from 8,000 to 15,000 euros, depending on the quality and type of turf selected.
Netting and poles
Netting and poles are essential but relatively inexpensive compared to other components. Costs can vary between 500 and 1,000 euros.
Other costs (licences, 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 euros.
