Top 7 padel tennis court maintenance tips
Proper padel court maintenance is key to ensuring longevity and consistent performance. While indoor and outdoor courts require different levels of care—outdoor courts being more exposed to weather conditions—some maintenance practices are crucial for both.
Here are 7 essential tips to keep your padel court in top conditions:
1. Regular cleaning of turf and sand distribution
High-quality synthetic turf and silica sand are key components of a well-constructed padel court. Keeping the sand evenly distributed ensures optimal ball bounce and player safety.
🔹 Maintenance Tip: Regular brushing prevents premature wear and keeps the court surface consistent. Weekly brushing is recommended, depending on usage.
Portico Sport’s turf solutions are designed for durability, but routine care is essential to maintain top playing conditions.
2. Glass wall cleaning for maximum visibility
Padel’s fast-paced action requires clear visibility through the glass walls. Clean glass not only benefits players but also enhances the spectator experience, especially on panoramic courts, where crystal-clear panels are essential for an immersive match.
🔹 Tip: Use a non-abrasive glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth to keep panels spotless.
Portico Sport’s panoramic courts are engineered with premium glass to ensure durability and optimal transparency—regular cleaning will preserve clarity and maintain the aesthetic appeal of your court.
3. Metal structure and net inspection
The steel structure, posts, and net of a padel court can be affected by weather conditions over time. Regular inspections help prevent rust, damage, or loosening.
🔹 Tip: Apply anti-corrosion treatments when necessary and tighten loose components to extend their lifespan.
Additionally, net tension should be adjusted periodically to meet official padel standards. If the net is worn out, replacing it ensures both functionality and aesthetics.
4. Proper drainage system maintenance
Outdoor padel courts require effective drainage to prevent water accumulation, which can damage the surface and lead to slippery conditions.
🔹 Best Practice: Keep drainage channels clear and remove debris regularly to ensure proper water flow.
Portico Sport designs custom drainage solutions, ensuring that outdoor courts remain weather-resistant and playable year-round.
5. Checking and maintaining LED lighting
Proper lighting is crucial for evening matches. Over time, LED floodlights may lose efficiency or require repositioning for even coverage.
🔹 Maintenance Tip: Inspect and clean lights to maintain optimal brightness, and replace faulty units when needed.
Portico Sport integrates high-performance LED lighting systems, ensuring consistent visibility and energy efficiency for all court settings.
6. Avoid heavy equipment or sharp objects on the court
The artificial turf and glass panels of a padel court are designed to be resilient, but heavy machinery or sharp objects can cause damage.
🔹 Best Practice: Ensure that players use proper footwear and avoid dragging equipment across the surface.
7. Professional annual maintenance check
While regular upkeep helps, a professional maintenance service ensures that all elements of the court—glass panels, turf, metal structures, and lighting—remain in top condition.
With Portico Sport’s premium materials and expert design, maintaining your court is effortless, keeping it looking and performing like new.
🔹 Why choose professional servicing? Specialists detect early signs of wear and provide preventive solutions, avoiding costly repairs in the future.
