Build a Padel Court

A standard outdoor padel court costs between €17,500 and €45,000 to build, including the steel structure, tempered glass walls, artificial grass surface, and lighting. Indoor courts cost €35,000–€91,000 (excluding the building shell), and competition-grade panoramic courts run €55,000–€120,000. Site preparation, permits, and groundwork are additional.

Once site groundworks are complete, a single padel court can typically be installed in 5–10 working days. Multi-court installations take 2–6 weeks. The full project timeline — including planning permission, foundations, and lighting — is usually 3–6 months from contract signature to first ball.

In most jurisdictions, yes. Outdoor courts often require planning permission due to the height of the perimeter glass and lighting masts. Indoor courts within an existing building shell may only need building regulation approval. Always check with your local planning authority before signing a build contract.

Yes. Most padel court builds are financed through asset finance, business loans, or sport-facility-specific lending. Typical APRs range from 4.5%–10% depending on country and credit profile. We work with verified financing partners across the UK, EU, and North America who can fund single courts or multi-court facilities up to several million.

A well-located 4-court padel club typically generates £150k–£400k annual revenue at 50–70% court utilisation, with EBITDA margins of 25–45%. Revenue is driven by court bookings (typically £20–£35/hour), coaching, league fees, equipment sales, and food & beverage where applicable.
