Choosing Padel Court Suppliers: A Buyer’s Checklist
Your courts are only as good as the people who make them, yet many founders choose a supplier on price alone and pay for that choice for a decade. A structured evaluation protects one of the biggest line items in your budget.
The cheapest quote is rarely the cheapest court once delays, defects and poor support are counted.
Track record and references
Ask for installed clubs you can visit and operators you can call.
A serious supplier is proud to show real courts under real play, not just polished renders. If they cannot point you to happy clients with courts a few years old, that silence is your answer.
Specifications in writing
Steel grade, galvanisation, glass thickness, turf certification, warranty terms — all documented.
Vague quotes hide expensive differences. Insist on comparable, written specifications so you are genuinely comparing courts and not just headline prices that describe very different products.
Lead times and after-sales
Delays push back your opening and your revenue; poor support strands you when something breaks.
Both belong in the decision alongside the unit price, because both cost real money once the club is running and the warranty is the only thing standing between you and a closed court.
