Padel is rapidly growing in popularity in Turkey, becoming a dynamic sport that attracts the attention of investors. Whether for personal use or commercial facilities, the construction of padel courts requires professional planning and execution. At Padel Istanbul, together with our expert partner WePadel, we offer turnkey padel court and padel club projects.
What Is a Padel Court?
A padel court is a specially designed area surrounded by glass walls and mesh fencing, where padel — a sport between tennis and squash — is played. Its standard dimensions and surface structure are subject to international regulations and directly impact gameplay.
How Is a Padel Court Built?
Constructing a padel court is a multi-step process that requires technical knowledge and experience. Here are the key phases:
- Project Planning and Site Selection
The first step is analyzing the area where the project will be implemented. Factors like ground type, climate, space availability, and orientation are evaluated. At this stage, it’s also decided whether the court will be open or covered.
- Ground Preparation
The ground is leveled, and a concrete substructure is installed. This base is critical for ensuring a long-lasting and safe court. At this stage, WePadel integrates drainage systems and slope adjustments to prevent water accumulation.
- Metal Construction and Glass Panels
The back and side walls of a padel court are made of tempered glass panels. These provide aesthetic value and meet international standards. The load-bearing steel construction is made from high-strength galvanized profiles.
- Mesh Fencing and Lighting System
The upper and side areas of the court are enclosed with special PVC-coated mesh fences to keep the ball within the play area. LED projector lighting systems are installed for night play.
- Surface Coating
The court surface is usually covered with artificial grass or acrylic. WePadel uses UV-resistant, non-slip surface materials to provide a comfortable and safe playing experience.
- Net and Accessory Installation
A padel net that meets international standards is installed in the center of the court. Additional features such as scoreboards, seating areas, and changing cabins can be included in the project as needed.

Important Considerations in Padel Court Construction
- Proper surface selection: Choosing the wrong surface may lead to long-term deformation.
- Use of quality materials: With high-grade steel, glass, and surface materials offered by WePadel, long-lasting courts can be built.
- Compliance with international standards: Adherence to ITF (International Tennis Federation) and FIP (International Padel Federation) standards ensures a competitive advantage.
- Ease of maintenance: Especially for commercial use, a low-maintenance system should be preferred.
How Much Does a Padel Court Cost?
The cost of constructing a padel court depends on several factors. As of 2025, the average cost varies depending on the scope of the project. Key cost factors include:
- Open or covered court design
- Surface type (artificial grass, acrylic, etc.)
- Glass thickness and steel quality
- Lighting system
- Location and infrastructure conditions
- Additional project features (bleachers, changing rooms, landscaping, etc.)
One of the main advantages of working with WePadel is the flexibility to provide scalable solutions for every budget. Whether you are an individual investor, a municipality, or a private business, WePadel offers cost-effective padel court solutions.

| Usage Period | Seasonal | Year-round |
