What does a padel court construction cost and what factors determine the price?
Padel is growing rapidly in the Netherlands and more and more sports clubs, municipalities and commercial providers are investing in new courts. But what exactly does a padel court cost? The final price depends on several technical choices, such as indoor or outdoor, construction type, artificial grass, lighting and the groundwork required.
Key factors determining price
- Choice between indoor or outdoor padel court
- Type of cage construction (pillar cage or panorama)
- Material and finishing of steel and glass
- Substructure and foundation
- Artificial turf choice and playing characteristics
- Lighting (point or line lighting)
- Drainage and drainage at outdoor courts
- Accessories such as scoreboards and ball traps
- Personalisation options such as logos in artificial grass
- Assembly costs and on-site logistics

STEP FOR STEP
This is how we map out the cost of your padel court project.
We start with an assessment of the site and its intended use. Here, we look at indoor/outdoor possibilities, space, substrate and required facilities.
We then clarify which cost items apply: construction, artificial grass, lighting, groundwork and any additional options.
You will receive a transparent customised quotation. We then supervise the process from preparation to construction and delivery, including maintenance advice.
Cage construction as largest investment
The cage construction is one of the biggest cost items within a padel court. The choice of material, finish and type of cage play an important role here. Panorama courts, for example, offer an unobstructed view and a modern look, while pillar cages are robust and widely used in both indoor and outdoor projects.
For a standard indoor pillar cage including delivery and assembly costs are on average between €21,000 and €25,000. For standard outdoor pillar cages costs are on average between €28,000 and €32,000.
Artificial turf and lighting
The choice of artificial grass determines not only the quality of play, but also the lifespan of the court. Allesvoorpadel supplies high-quality systems from, among others Mondo, Grass Partners and Condor. On average, costs are between €26 and €35 per m², depending on the type of artificial grass, fibre structure and colour.
Lighting is essential for padel courts that are also used in the evening. Different lighting systems can be chosen here.
Point lighting including installation: on average between €2,500 and €4,900
Line lighting: on average between €5,000 and €8,000
Earthworks and lighting
At outdoor padel courts groundwork is a crucial factor within the project. This includes foundations, drainage and the application of sand layers for a stable and permeable substructure. The costs of this strongly depend on the location, soil conditions and accessibility of the site. Therefore, a site survey is almost always carried out first. At indoor padel courts groundwork is often not necessary, making these projects usually more economical. However, sufficient height in the hall is important: at least 6.5 metres free height, where 8 metres preferred for optimal playing comfort.
The total investment in a padel court depends on several factors such as location, surface, type of cage and lighting.
Indoor padel court: on average between €29,000 and €35,000 per job
Outdoor padel court: on average between €75,000 and €95,000 per job
As every project is unique, Allesvoorpadel always makes a project-specific quotation based on location, requirements and technical possibilities.

Subsoil, groundwork and indoor vs outdoor
With outdoor padel courts, groundwork is a crucial factor. Consider foundations, drainage and sand layers for a stable and permeable substructure. The cost of this depends greatly on the terrain and requires a site survey.
Indoor padel courts are often more economical as groundwork is usually not required. However, height requirements apply: at least 6.5 metres clearance height, preferably 8 metres. Indoor courts start on average from €32,500, outdoor projects are usually between €65,000 and €95,000.
Licensing challenges
Applying for a permit for a padel court sometimes seems more complex than necessary. Municipalities have different interpretations of the regulations, so the process can differ from one location to another. This is precisely why it is important to follow the laws and regulations closely and engage with the right parties at an early stage. At Allesvoorpadel, we guide clubs, municipalities and entrepreneurs through this process on a daily basis. With our experience in planning, building and maintaining padel courts, we know exactly what studies are needed, what documentation is required and how to get an application through the procedure smoothly. Want to avoid uncertainty and take the right steps right away? Let us look with you. We support you from the first check to the full application, efficiently, expertly and without surprises.
