Paddle tennis is a sport that has a large number of fans and players in Spain. To practice it you simply need sportswear and appropriate footwear, racquet, balls and a court. In today’s post we explain how much a paddle tennis court costs. That is, the cost of building a paddle tennis court with a high quality artificial turf that minimizes the risk of injury.
The elements of a paddle tennis court
A paddle tennis court is composed of a series of elements that we cannot forget when building our own court. Whether to enjoy it at home or in a club or public facilities. The price of these elements will determine how much a paddle tennis court costs.
To build a paddle tennis court we need first of all an area of land that at least should occupy about 200-250 square meters. Taking into account that the dimensions of the court are those of a rectangle of 10 m wide by 20 m long.
Once we have the land , it is time to get down to work.
The main elements of a paddle court, the most basic ones, are:
- Track structure or enclosure
- Glass walls
- Fences to delimit the track
- The floor of the track
- The network
To these elements, we can add others that will give value to the track, but will increase its construction cost. Among them we highlight:
- Lighting
- Roof or ceiling
Total cost of the paddle tennis court
Taking all these elements into account, we can now answer the question:
How much does a paddle tennis court cost?
The cost of a basic paddle tennis court slightly exceeds 14,000 – 15,000 euros. If we add higher quality materials and elements such as lighting, this value rises to 18,000 euros. If we want a professional paddle tennis court that complies with the directives of the Spanish Paddle Tennis Federation, the cost is well over 20,000 euros.
The turf of a paddle tennis court
The floor of a paddle tennis court can be made of porous concrete and cement, synthetic grass or carpet. In case you want your paddle court to be made of artificial grass, it is important to choose a product that minimizes the risk of injuries and guarantees its durability.

Paddle tennis court maintenance
Once we have the paddle tennis court ready, it is essential to carry out a correct and continuous maintenance. The cost of this task should also be added to the title that heads this post: “How much does a paddle tennis court cost”.
This maintenance varies depending on the elements that we have included in our track and of course, the quality of artificial turf installed on the floor of the paddle tennis court. There are many factors to take into account, so we recommend that the maintenance of the paddle tennis court is carried out by experts in the field.
We see them one by one:
Track structure or enclosure
Usually, paddle courts have a metallic structure, this material is very resistant and durable but it faces certain threats.
The most important is humidity and climate. In indoor courts, the sweat that players perspire during games and training sessions condenses in the environment, this condensation of mist is humidity that can damage the structure. Outdoors, rain, humidity, temperature changes, sun rays, can eventually affect the structure, so it is important to check all joints, screws, structure to detect any cracks, chips, scratches, because if they are not repaired, the rusting process that seriously damages the structure will begin.
Depending on the use of the track and the quality of the track, sanding, cleaning and painting of the structural elements should be done more often. It is generally recommended to act as quickly as possible to any damage and to make a more conscientious maintenance once a year.
In this section we also include the revision of elements such as screws, anchors, supports, perimeter fences… in short, all those metallic elements included in the paddle tennis court.
And let’s not forget to check the net and the support that holds it. It is important to check the collection and tensioning mechanisms. The net must be properly tensioned so that the game is correct.
Glass walls
The glass is one of the distinctive elements of the paddle courts, they act as walls or walls where the balls bounce. It is essential to keep them in perfect condition.
Maintenance includes cleaning, but the most important thing is tocheck that they are well anchored to the structure and that the neoprene gaskets are in place, that the crystals do not touch each other and to make a visual inspection for breakage points to replace them if any are found, and thus avoid accidents.
During play, the movement of players and ball strikes generate vibrations. If the glass is not in perfect condition or perfectly anchored and fastened, these vibrations can lead to breakage and serious accidents.
Artificial turf care
If we have chosen for the floor of our paddle tennis court a quality artificial turf, like the ones we recommend in Albergrass, the maintenance and care will be less and its performance will be higher. Quality saves maintenance costs and offers better aesthetic and game results.
Among the care that requires the artificial turf of the paddle court is the brushing and filtering of sand with a special machine, to remove dirt and impurities, thus we will avoid compaction and better distribute the sand.
It is important that the turf is conducive to bouncing the ball and that the footing is stable to minimize the risk of injury.
In this care we cannot forget to check that the joints between the different pieces of turf are in good condition, any damage or separation must be repaired immediately to avoid falls and injuries and so that, a posteriori, the repair is not more expensive.
The amount of silica sand should also be checked to add more if necessary. This will ensure that the playing conditions are ideal and extend the life of the turf.
If the paddle tennis court is not properly maintained, the investment made to build it will not have the expected return or benefit, it will be lost. In addition, we can add accidents and physical damage, including serious injuries to the players.
