Why Is Padel Growing in the UAE?
Padel has developed a strong presence in the UAE, supported by commercial clubs, hotels, residential communities, sports centers and international events.
The UAE Padel Association has been affiliated with the International Padel Federation since 2017. The official 2026 Premier Padel calendar also includes the Dubai P1 tournament.
In addition, the Dubai Sports Strategic Plan 2033 aims to expand sports participation, develop clubs and events, and increase the economic contribution of the sports sector.
This creates opportunities for:
- Commercial padel clubs
- Hotels and resorts
- Residential communities
- Schools and universities
- Private villas
- Fitness and sports centers
- Real estate developments
- Municipal sports facilities
Nevertheless, the popularity of padel does not automatically guarantee a profitable project. Investors should also evaluate land or building rent, local competition, booking prices, operating hours, air-conditioning costs, maintenance and customer demand.
What Is a Full Panoramic Padel Court?
A full panoramic padel court uses large tempered-glass panels and a specially designed steel enclosure to provide wide spectator views and a modern commercial appearance.
Compared with a traditional court, a panoramic design reduces visual obstruction around the glass sections. This makes it suitable for premium clubs, hotels, tournaments, events and venues that need attractive photo and video content.
According to the official padel court dimensions, a standard doubles court has an internal playing area of:
- Length: 20 m
- Width: 10 m
- Total playing area: 200 m²
- Net length: 10 m
- Net height at the center: 88 cm
- Net height at the posts: 92 cm
Additional space should be reserved around the court for construction, maintenance, player access, lighting and spectator areas.
Main Materials Used in the LDK Panoramic Padel Court
The following configuration is based on the supplied LDK quotation for one 20 × 10 m panoramic padel court.
Final quantities, steel sections, anchoring arrangements and production drawings should be confirmed before manufacturing.

12 mm Tempered Safety Glass
The reference court uses 18 tempered-glass panels. Each panel is approximately 1,990 × 2,980 mm and 12 mm thick.
Buyers should request relevant glass certificates and test reports from the supplier. The quotation should also confirm:
- Glass dimensions
- Hole positions
- Edge finishing
- Packaging method
- Replacement policy
- Installation accessories
Tempered glass should be handled and installed by trained workers using suitable glass-lifting equipment. Rubber pads should separate the glass from direct contact with the steel structure.
Galvanized Steel Mesh
The court includes 46 steel-mesh panels measuring approximately 1 × 2 m.
The reference mesh uses:
- 4 mm steel wire
- 50 × 50 mm openings
- Galvanized protection
- Exterior powder-coated finish
The welds, mesh openings and coating should be inspected before shipment to reduce the risk of deformation, sharp edges or surface defects.
Galvanized Steel Structure
The steel structure includes:
- Four 100 × 100 × 3 mm corner columns
- Twelve 100 × 50 × 3 mm middle and gate columns
- 100 × 50 × 3 mm cross members
- 100 × 50 × 3 mm lighting columns
The surface is treated with an electrostatic epoxy powder coating approximately 70–80 μm thick to improve moisture and corrosion resistance.
For an outdoor UAE project, the structural specification and foundation must also be reviewed according to local wind conditions, site exposure and engineering requirements.
Padel Net and Post Set
Although some product documents use the name “tennis post set,” the correct term for this product is a padel net and post set.
The reference configuration includes:
- 940 mm-high posts
- 120 × 60 × 3 mm post sections
- 10 m-long black PP net
- 4 mm net cord
- 45 × 45 mm mesh
During installation, the net should be adjusted to the required height and tension.
LED Lighting System
The reference court includes eight 200 W IP65 LED fixtures.
However, fixture wattage alone does not determine lighting quality. A professional lighting plan should also consider:
- Average lux level
- Lighting uniformity
- Glare
- Pole position
- Indoor or outdoor operation
- Recreational or competition use
- Local electrical requirements
For commercial clubs and tournament facilities, a lighting simulation is recommended before confirming the final layout.
KDK-Type Artificial Turf
The reference artificial turf has the following specifications:
- Blue color
- 12 mm pile height
- 3/16-inch gauge
- Approximately 58,800 stitches/m²
- PP + net + black SBR backing
- Approximately 210 m² per court
The standard playing area is 200 m². The additional turf provides an allowance for seams, cutting and installation waste, subject to the final turf layout.
Frame colors, turf colors, club logos and other branding elements can also be customized. More configurations are available in the LDK panoramic padel court range.
What Factors Affect the Total Padel Court Cost in the UAE?
Court Model
Classic, panoramic and 360-degree courts use different structural designs. Premium panoramic systems may require larger glass sections, more precise manufacturing and specialized installation.
Material Specifications
The following choices directly affect the equipment price:
- Glass thickness and certification
- Steel profile size
- Galvanizing process
- Powder-coating thickness
- Turf specification
- Lighting performance
- Fastener material
- Custom accessories
Number of Courts
A multi-court order may improve container utilization and reduce the average shipping, design and installation-supervision cost per court.
Customization
Additional costs may apply to:
- Custom frame colors
- Special turf colors
- Club logos
- Advertising panels
- Extra doors
- Scoreboards
- Player benches
- Spectator seating
- Roof or canopy systems
Shipping and Insurance
Freight costs depend on the number of courts, package volume, container loading plan, departure port, destination port, marine insurance and current shipping rates.
Because tempered glass requires protective packaging, buyers should also inspect the supplier’s loading and packing plan.
Customs Duty and VAT
The UAE Government states that the general customs duty is normally 5% of the value of the goods together with cost, freight and insurance. The standard VAT rate is also 5%.
However, the applicable HS code, customs value and tax treatment should be confirmed with a licensed customs-clearance agent or the UAE importer. See the official UAE guidance on customs clearance and VAT.
Foundation and Drainage
The equipment quotation does not show the cost of the concrete base.
Local foundation work may include:
- Site surveying
- Excavation
- Ground preparation
- Reinforced concrete
- Anchor positioning
- Surface leveling
- Drainage
- Electrical conduits
The cost depends on the existing ground, soil conditions, drainage and structural calculations.
Installation
Installation expenses may include:
- Local workers
- Overseas installation supervisor
- Flights, visas and accommodation
- Crane or glass-lifting equipment
- Scaffolding
- Electrical installation
- Turf laying
- Material waste
- Cleaning and final inspection
Buyers should confirm whether the supplier provides installation drawings, remote guidance, on-site supervision or a complete installation team.
Designing a Padel Court for the UAE Climate
A court designed for a mild indoor environment should not automatically be installed at an exposed outdoor UAE site without additional engineering review.
Heat and UV Exposure
Outdoor steel coatings, artificial turf, lighting and electrical components should be suitable for high temperatures and strong UV exposure.
Shade or canopy structures may improve player comfort. However, their columns, roof loads and foundations must be coordinated with the court design.
Sand and Dust
Sand and dust can accumulate on:
- Artificial turf
- Glass surfaces
- Mesh panels
- Lighting fixtures
- Drainage outlets
Commercial operators should prepare a regular cleaning, turf-brushing and glass-maintenance schedule.
Wind Loads
Large glass panels create significant wind exposure. The manufacturer should provide structural drawings, while a qualified local engineer should review the steel structure, anchors and foundation according to the project location.
Avoid relying only on a general “windproof” marketing statement without project-specific engineering.
Corrosion Protection
Galvanized steel, exterior powder coating and stainless-steel fasteners help improve outdoor durability. Nevertheless, coating thickness, weld treatment and damaged areas should be inspected during installation and maintenance.
Indoor and Outdoor Operation
An outdoor court may require greater attention to wind, UV, heat, sand and drainage.
An indoor facility may require additional investment in:
- Building rental
- Ceiling clearance
- Thermal insulation
- Air conditioning
- Ventilation
- Fire safety
- Emergency access
- Acoustic control
These building-related expenses can be considerably higher than the court equipment price.
How Is a Full Panoramic Padel Court Installed?
Step 1: Site Inspection
Confirm the available area, floor level, drainage, electrical supply, access route and surrounding clearance.
Step 2: Project Design
Prepare the court layout, structural drawings, anchor plan, lighting arrangement and foundation design.
Step 3: Foundation Construction
Build and level the concrete base according to the approved drawings. Correct anchor positioning is essential for the later installation stages.
Step 4: Steel-Structure Installation
Install and align the corner columns, middle columns, gate columns, cross members and lighting columns.
Step 5: Steel-Mesh Installation
