Whether you’re considering adding a padel court to your amenities at home or to your business facilities, the surface is one of the most important factors to consider. Our specialist artificial grass for padel courts is designed specifically for creating the best playing experience for this fast-action sport. Here’s why opting for artificial grass for your padel court is an excellent investment:
1) It’s Used By the Pros
Artificial turf is the premier choice for the majority of artificial sports surfaces because it provides the best combination of function, performance, ease of care, comfort, and aesthetics. Artificial turf ensures athletes experience a high level of grip underfoot, without it being so grippy that it’s likely to cause injury or hinder the fast movements necessary for playing padel at the top level (or for fun).
2) Looks Natural
Artificial turf has come a long way, and even sports artificial grass looks like natural, well-manicured grass. We use special fibres that look realistic due to a range of green tones and the way they reflect light. Unlike real grass, it won’t get patchy, turn brown in the winter, or need mowing, so you really do get the best of both worlds.
3) It’s Designed for Your Performance
Artificial grass for sports arenas is specifically designed to assist your performance – allowing you to perform at your best and not have to think about your footing. Artificial turf offers a high level of shock absorption, and won’t change underfoot, even with heavy use. This reduces the risk of injury, which is of critical importance, no matter what level you play at.
4) It Doesn’t Interfere with the Ball
Your chosen surface needs to offer a natural ball-surface interaction, and artificial turf does just that, offering a regular bounce in any area of the court. That means your opponent can’t blame the uneven ground for not playing quite as well as they hoped to!
5) It’s Incredibly Durable
Artificial grass offers incredible durability, which means it will continue to offer its incredible performance qualities and appearance for many years. In a high-intensity setting, such as a sports club, artificial turf will last for 4-5 years before showing significant signs of wear, and much longer in a private setting.
6) It’s an All-Weather Surface
While casual players may not find themselves going out to train in a bit of rain, the more serious amongst us will, and isn’t it nice just to have the choice to do so? Artificial grass will allow you to do just that – it’s free-draining so you can head out after a heavy shower, and playing on it won’t leave you with muddy patches in your grass to fix. Equally, hot, dry weather won’t leave you with a court that feels like concrete.
7) You Get Incredible Value for Money
Padel courts are small – 10x20m or 6x20m, which offers two benefits:
You can fit one almost anywhere
You need fewer materials to make one
That means that you’ll be able to get the best quality artificial turf the pros use, without breaking the bank. While the walls of a padel court are more complex than a tennis court, a padel court is usually cheaper to construct.
8) More Environmentally Friendly
Artificial grass is a more environmentally friendly option than other artificial surfaces out there and, often, more environmentally friendly than grass, too. Keeping a short, mow, performance-ready lawn requires a lot of work – it needs watering during dry weeks, fertilizing, spraying for weeds, and pesticides, all of which can be detrimental to the environment.
9) It’s Low Maintenance
Artificial turf padel courts require very little in the way of maintenance to keep them in top condition. If they have been installed properly, all your artificial turf court will need is occasional brushing and the removal of any fallen leaves, twigs, or petals, especially during autumn and winter. If your court is likely to be dormant during the coldest months of the year, make sure you head out regularly to remove leaves so they don’t turn into sludge and become more difficult to remove.
Artificial grass padel courts can be played on all day long without any maintenance – which is ideal for padel clubs.
10) Less Likely to Get Injured
As we touched on earlier, artificial turf for padel courts provides some give and shock absorption to protect your joints as you move around. The soft feel of the artificial turf also means that should you trip or fall while diving for the ball, you won’t end up with grazes or a friction burn from skidding on the grass, as is so common with other artificial surfaces.
11) Installation for Artificial Grass Padel Courts is Easy
While we would always recommend you get a professional to install your artificial turf when dealing with a sports area (to ensure everything is level and ready to be played on), installation is fast and easy.
12) UV Resistant
Artificial turf is UV resistant and won’t lose its colour, even if it’s in direct sunlight. That means it will have the same bright colour it had at installation after being enjoyed over many hot summers.
13) Indoor or Outdoor Installation
We’ve leaned toward outdoor installation in this article, largely because so many people are having padel courts installed in their home gardens, but don’t forget that you can use artificial grass for indoor padel courts, too. Using it indoors won’t require any additional maintenance – in fact, it will likely need less!
