Indoor padel courts

After careful research and development work, Italgreen created high quality indoor padel courts, characterized by excellent resistance and efficient game performance.

More precisely, Italgreen offers panoramic iron padel courts, in order to guarantee the best experience both for players and spectators.

A panoramic padel court, in fact, can offer a much wider view to enjoy the game performance even better, thanks to the presence of small plexiglass or steel connectors to replace the traditional poles used to connect the windows.

In addition, these indoor padel courts are the winning choice also with regard to materials: iron is a very innovative material for padel courts, as it is the result of a state-of-the-art process of hot dip galvanizing and thermo-hardened powder coating. 

This means that padel courts made this way:

• are not subject to deterioration;
• avoid problems such as rust and possible structural failures;
• are extremely resistant and durable over time;
• need minimal maintenance operations;
• are fireproof;
• are perfectly compliant with FIT and FIP specifications.

An indoor padel court can be the best choice for your sports center, as:

• It can be used year-round regardless of weather conditions;
• It is very durable as it is protected from bad weather conditions;
• Avoid suffering from cold weather during the winter season;
• It can guarantee a better light during evening matches.

In general, choosing an indoor padel court will allow you to play whenever you want and this is very positive also from the economic point of view: the possibility to play without any limitation, in fact, results in a greater number of matches that can be played in a day, resulting in higher profits.

When considering the installation of a covered padel court, it's essential to identify the ideal location that maximizes its benefits and accessibility. Here are 3 locations to consider for installing this type of padel court:

• Sports Clubs and Recreation Centers are excellent locations for covered padel courts. They often offer a wide range of sports enthusiasts and provide the infrastructure necessary to support various activities. By adding a covered padel court to their facilities, clubs can offer an all-weather playing option, attracting more members and enhancing their overall offerings
   
• Educational Institutions: schools and colleges can greatly benefit from installing covered padel courts. They provide an opportunity for students to engage in a popular sport while enjoying protection from adverse weather conditions
   
• Residential Communities such as apartment complexes, housing estates, and gated communities can create a great recreational experience by installing covered padel courts. These facilities offer residents the convenience of having a sport they enjoy right at their doorstep and the possibility to play whenever they want.

When constructing an indoor padel court, it's essential to adhere to the International Padel Federation (IPF) regulations. A standard indoor padel court measures:

• 20 meters (66 feet) in length; 
• 10 meters (33 feet) in width;

covering a total playing area of 200 square meters (2,178 square feet). To ensure player safety, a perimeter of at least 0.5 meters (1 ft 8 in) should be maintained around the court, especially for professional installations. For recreational facilities, this is recommended but not always mandatory. The total space required for a court, including this safety perimeter, is approximately 231 square meters (2,486 square feet).

Additionally, the indoor ceiling height should be a minimum of 6 meters (20 feet) to allow for unimpeded gameplay. The back wall typically stands at 4 meters (13 feet), while sidewalls are often stepped, with a 4-meter (13-foot) panel connected to the back wall and a lower 3-meter (10-foot) panel further along the sides. Transparent glass walls, 3 meters high, run along the sides, enhancing visibility.

For proper gameplay, the net height is set at 88 centimeters (3 feet) in the center, extending across the entire 10-meter (33-foot) width of the court. The court lines, all 5 cm (2 in) wide, clearly mark service and boundary areas, ensuring compliance with international standards.

In multi-court indoor facilities, the space between courts can vary. While there is no strict need for space between courts due to the enclosed walls, some facilities prefer to allocate room for amenities such as bleachers, locker rooms, or water stations.

The ideal distance between padel courts depends on several factors:

• the orientation of the courts
• the level of play
• the surrounding environment

Generally, a minimum distance of 4 to 6 meters between courts is recommended to prevent interference between players on adjacent courts. However, this may not always be feasible, as reducing the space can allow for more courts in a given area, making the club more profitable. In such cases, the distance can be reduced to 1.5 to 2 meters.

Ultimately, the ideal distance will depend on the specific circumstances of the facility and the preferences of both players and organizers.
