FAQ

Padel court types are often defined based on size (Single or double) and type (Standard, Panoramic or Super-Panoramic). Double size Padel courts are 20m x 10m. Accounting for space needed for circulation, fencing and spectator areas, you should allow approximately 250–300 sqm per court in your planning.

At Acenta, we offer double size Padel courts starting from £18,500 excluding shipping, installation and VAT. Court costs can vary depending on the size, type and other customisable options.

Acenta’s Re-Play courts are refurbished Padel courts from former Padel centres that have been restored to a high-quality playing standard. They offer a more sustainable and cost-effective option without compromising on playability.

Padel courts can be customised with branded netting, printed turf logos or branded court structures.
